A Full-blown Shredder with Vintage Style
The Kramer Assault Plus is a full-blown shredder with vintage style to spare. It boasts a familiar single-cut maple-topped mahogany body, but that’s where the similarities end. Its mahogany neck features an easy-playing K-Speed SlimTaper “C” profile, and its lightning-fast 12"-radius fingerboard sports a 25.5" scale and 24 medium-jumbo frets. Plug into your favorite high-gain stack, and you’ll experience high-octane humbucker tones, courtesy of a set of hot-rodded Seymour Duncan pickups. And true to its shredder heritage, the Assault Plus includes a Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo. The Assault Plus features easy-access hex wrenches, rock-solid die-cast tuners, and an eye-grabbing Kramer trademark reverse headstock.
High-performance shred machine with classic style
While its single-cut, maple-topped mahogany body suggests something more on the vintage side, the Assault Plus is a modern high-performance shred machine. Its mahogany neck features an easy-playing K-Speed SlimTaper “C” profile, while its lightning-fast 12"-radius fingerboard features a 25.5" scale and 24 medium-jumbo frets. The Assault Plus sports two hex wrenches fastened to the back of its headstock for easy adjustments and a Kramer trademark reverse headstock.
Seymour Duncan hot-rodded humbuckers — built to rock hard
Kramer’s Assault Plus was built for hard rock. And it rocks hard, thanks to its zebra-colored Seymour Duncan humbuckers. Its JB bridge pickup is one of the most popular in the world, serving up the classic sound of a hot-rodded humbucker. You know, that sound — the one we've all loved for the last 30 years. This guitar’s JN neck pickup makes a perfect complement to the JB, yielding traditional warm humbucker tones for full, yet clear, rhythms and silky-smooth leads. From bluesy crunch to harmonic-laden grind, these humbuckers deliver the goods. The Assault Plus includes a standard 3-way toggle switch, a volume knob for each pickup with a push/pull pot for series/parallel operation, and a master tone control.
Floyd Rose tremolo for twisting, bending, and dive-bombing
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 Assault Plus. Similar to other high-performance solidbody electric guitars, the Assault Plus comes equipped with a rock-solid Floyd Rose double-locking trem. 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 it or abuse it, you'll have trouble knocking the Assault Plus out of tune.
