Kramer Baretta Left-handed Electric Guitar - Ebony Reviews
It has been nearly 40 years since its debut, and the Kramer Baretta continues to turn heads with its retro-cool aesthetic and hard-rocking tone. Most notably wielded by the late-great Eddie Van Halen, the Baretta's single-pickup design and Floyd Rose locking tremolo made it a must-have for shredders needing a stripped-down solution for gigs. The modern Baretta delivers more of the same screaming tone and effortless playability, delivered through a single Seymour Duncan JBTM humbucker and a genuine Floyd Rose. From its maple body to the maple neck and the fingerboard, the Baretta's tonewoods are thoroughly top notch, sturdy and sleek in the hands while adding sonic brightness and tight, beefy lows. Throw on the whammy bar, and you can bend and dive all night in perfect pitch, courtesy of the Floyd Rose's double-locking system. In need of some serious sonic heat? Add the Kramer Baretta to your collection for stellar tone in any setting!

Not great
I ordered this guitar back at the start of March 2023. I just got it 4 days before I'm writing this review, and I'm not happy with what I got. The strings fall out of tune shockingly easy, and to make matters worse the tuners on the headstock are terrible. One of them, you have to turn a full 360 degrees before it'll even start to tune the string. The frets came with some kind of black grime on them, and the bridge plays like it's rusted. The fine tuners are coarse when you turn them, and the tremolo arm creaks and feels like it's skipping threads when you turn it. I spoke to support and they sent me a lubricant for the arm but I'm impatient and ended up buying some at a local music store and lubricating it, and it is already creaking loudly again just days later. The arm also wobbles constantly and will not stay where it should no matter what I do. I feel like I got something that's been sitting in someone's garage, untouched, and collecting dust over 2 years. The neck feels good, the action is good, but the hardware is in disappointing condition.
