Classic Rock ‘n’ Roller, Kramer-style!

Ready to pick up your first Kramer guitar and start rocking? Then, there’s no better choice than the Kramer Focus VT-211S electric guitar. This classically styled six-string provides an affordable entry point for new guitarists, while delivering top-notch tone from its combination of two Kramer Alnico V single-coil pickups and a Kramer Alnico V humbucker pickup. An all-mahogany body is packed with deep, warm tone contrasted against a snappy maple neck with a super-fast 12-inch radius fingerboard and 21 medium jumbo frets — perfect for aspiring virtuosos. Guitarist at Sweetwater all remember their first axe, and very few of us had one as slick as the Kramer Focus VT-211S. Grab one for yourself or the would-be guitar slinger in your life, and let the musical journey begin!

Iconic design with a twist

The Kramer Focus VT-211S starts with a familiar ‘S’ body shape, with a conformable arm contour and tummy cut, leading into a slim-profile maple neck. Then it turns it up a notch, tricking it out with custom Kramer hardware, including a traditional tremolo bridge, knurled chrome control knobs, and deluxe covered machine heads. A matching headstock gives the Focus VT-211S an extra pop of color and touch of swagger.

Find your favorite tones

With its HSS pickup configuration, the Kramer Focus VT-211S provides a large canvas for exploring how to shape your guitar tones. Two powerful custom Kramer Alnico V SC-1 single-coil pickups sit in the middle and neck positions, delivering the classic brightness and clarity for which single-coils are known. Sitting in the bridge position, a custom Kramer Alnico V humbucker dishes out an aggressive midrange attack and bite that begs to be run through a distortion pedal or overdriven guitar amp. A five-way selector switch and tone and volume controls let you cook up a vast range of guitar sounds, so you can find your favorite tones, no matter what kind of music you’re playing.

Great guitar for the price

I chose purple cuz I have had all the normal colors and liked this color. Not cuz I am a big GD fan etc.

Everyone is right about the fretboard. VERY Nice, smooth, easy to play, no fret nicks, etc.

I bought this for myself even tho I am more of an acoustic guy. Even for my classic and hard rock. Acoustics are just simpler and easier for lazy guys like me. =)

Decided if I play this one a lot I will upgrade to a higher priced model electric guitar.

I did take it to my local luthier to have him do a professional setup on it and it came out nicely. Also had him upgrade my strings to 10's. My personal fav on electrics.

I am a hobby player and this does great for me. FTR been playing on and off since I was 19 and I am now 63.

The Alinco humbuckers sound really good thru the amps I have. Line 6 pocket POD, Micro VOX AC30 direct plug in, Fender Frontman 10G (playing with that one right now - headphones of course) and the Fender Mustang LT-25.

The tuning keys are probably not the best but they do the job. The volume and tone pots work fine despite the volume knob having a slight wobble when turned. No biggy cuz I keep it full open and use the amps to adjust volume. I don't use the whammy bar so I cannot comment on that.

The bottom line is this is a minimal investment guitar for those wanting something inexpensive to play with, learn on, experiment with, etc. I'm not really very picky so it works fine for me. Good sound, solid feel, smooth maple neck. I play mostly classic rock and this guitar will not hurt the pocket book. =)

Service comment: Sweetwater is unparalleled in service and support in my opinion. Hats off to Taylor Perry for following up after my order, after I received the guitar, etc.

And how is that for a guitarist's name? Taylor guitars, James Taylor, Steve Perry, Joe Perry, Taylor Hawkins (RIP), and on and on.
Music background: Hobbyist - playing on n off for 43 years.

Best for the price!

I have been a guitar player for nearly fifteen years, and I am pleasantly surprised but how great this guitar performs. Not recommended for guitar solos or fast-paced music (e.g., metal), definitely more recommended for beginner-to-intermediate users, but for the price, this is an absolute bargain in terms of tone and looks.
Rated 4.5/5

Great guitar for the price!

I bought it to bedazzle as a gag for my wife, but I loved playing so much, I kept it. For the price, this is great! Needs a setup, but nothing extreme. I'm a novice, but I've learned enough from tutorials to get it in better shape.
Music background: Novice guitar player, jack of all trades musician.
Rated 4/5

Awesome guitar

This is an awesome guitar for the price. I put in a SD invader white humbucker in the bridge and SD hot rails on the neck. Clean up fret sprouts on the neck. The guitar screams now plays awesome too.
Music background: Guitar, Sound engineer, guitar Tech
