A Rock Icon for Everyone

The Kramer Baretta Special solidbody electric guitar delivers rock-ready performance, explosive tone, and big value. It's loaded with an open-coil "zebra" humbucker, builts with Alnico V magnets for a vibrant voice that begs for distortion. And despite its low price, the Baretta Special is equipped with high-quality hardware like Kramer Deluxe die-cast machine heads, and a Kramer Traditional tremolo bridge. Guitarists at Sweetwater love the single volume knob control scheme — it's all you need to rock. Whether you aim to mod it in the future, or love it as-is, the Kramer Baretta Special is sure to exceed your expectations.

Kramer: rocking hard since the '80s

Kramer guitars were at the forefront of the '80s metal scene, with endorsements from pros like Eddie Van Halen, Neal Schon, Richie Sambora, and others. Kramer guitars have been the guitar of choice for some of the hardest rocking guitarists in the world, and you can tap into that experience yourself with the Baretta Special. You're getting more than a great value with the Kramer Baretta Special, you're getting a guitar that's built to rock.

Kramer Baretta Special Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:

  • Value-packed reincarnation of the iconic Baretta guitar
  • High-quality hardware includes die-cast tuners and Kramer Traditional tremolo
  • Open-coil "zebra" humbucker with Alnico V magnets packs a punch
  • Real mahogany body and maple neck, a classic tonewood combination
  • Simple control scheme, just a single Master Volume knob

cheap kramer

Added a set of locking tuners and swapped a duncan pick up in. Great guitar now!
Rated 1/5

Very disappointing

The internet has been buzzing about these guitars for a couple of years and I decided to give one a try. Apparently, the Indonesian models are favored and sought after more than the Chinese. As luck would have it, I would buy a Chinese model, much to my dismay.

Right out of the box, this thing is unplayable. The set-up is absolutely horrible, as if the final inspector knows nothing about guitars. The action is so low and the truss rod is so bad that every string, every fret has horrible buzz. The strings are rusty and the tops of the frets are grimy. The edges are sharp and I cut my finger removing it from the packaging. If I can't get this thing set up right with a fresh set of strings and a whole slew of adjustments, I will be sending it back. I paid $ for it so I didn't expect to be perfect but right now it's not even worth half of that.
