A Tribute to Kramer’s Golden Age
The 84 from Kramer pays homage to one of the most influential solidbody electric guitars of all time. (Hint: It was covered with red, black, and white stripes). This built-for-performance axe centers around a Pacer-esque alder body, along with a hard rock maple neck and fast-playing 12-inch-radius fingerboard. Plug into your favorite high-gain stack, and you’ll experience classic brown-tinged humbucker tones courtesy of a Kramer USA Eruption T bridge pickup. No self-respecting shred guitar would be complete without a double-locking tremolo, and The 84 includes the gold standard — a Floyd Rose — putting the gamut of note-twisting pitch pyrotechnics at your disposal. The 84 also features an easy-access truss rod, rock-solid die-cast tuners, and an eye-grabbing matching banana-style headstock.
Stripped-down, high-performance shred machine
Loosely based on Kramer’s Pacer model, The 84 is a stripped-down, high-performance shred machine. Its lightweight alder body exhibits a classic, balanced-sounding tone that’s ready to roar. Its one-piece, skunk-striped hard maple neck features an easy-playing K-Speed SlimTaper C profile, while its lightning-fast 12-inch-radius fingerboard features a 25.5-inch scale and 22 medium-jumbo frets. The 84 sports an easy-access truss rod for quick neck adjustments and a matching banana-style headstock with a historic Kramer logo.
Jim DeCola-designed Eruption T humbucker
Kramer’s The 84 was built for hard rock. And it rocks hard, thanks to its Kramer USA Eruption T humbucker. Designed by Gibson USA Luthier Jim DeCola, the Eruption T unleashes the red-hot tone you need for a high-octane performance. This pickup isn’t all about scorched-earth volume, however. It contains just enough brown-sound-inspired character to keep things from getting out of hand. The 84 includes a master volume knob, putting everything from less-than-subtle crunch to searing, hard-rock cacophony at the ready.
Pitch-twisting Floyd Rose tremolo
Do you dive-bomb? Shriek? Squeal? Flutter? Of course you do! Otherwise, you wouldn’t be on Sweetwater.com looking at shred machines like The 84. Similar to other high-performance solidbody electric guitars, The 84 comes equipped with a rock-solid Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking trem, along with a rear-mounted locking nut. It can be used for subtle vibrato or full-blown dive-bombs — the choice is yours. Either way, you’ll experience the same response and tuning stability that you’d expect from a Floyd Rose. Whether you use or abuse it, you’ll have trouble knocking this axe out of tune.
