A Head-turning Rocker for a New Generation
Like a hot-rodded '80s original, the Kramer SM-1 Figured packs a ton of appeal for heavy metal guitarists. For starters, this solidbody electric guitar's familiar double-cut body and classic beak-style headstock were plucked straight out of the decade of decadence. What's more, its mahogany body gives it a warm sound with long sustain and acoustic resonance by the truckload. Its AAA figured maple veneer top ensures an attention-grabbing look that's impossible to ignore. Its K-Speed SlimTaper "C" neck and ruler-flat 14-inch-radius fingerboard ensures lightning-fast playability. And with a pair of Seymour Duncan Cool Rails humbuckers combined with a JB humbucker at the bridge, the SM-1 Figured delivers a world of vivacious tones to explore, from plucky cleans to rich, punchy rhythms and leads. Treble-bleed controls and a coil-tap toggle round out to this guitar's premium features. And since no guitar would be shred-worthy without a double-locking tremolo, the SM-1 Figured comes armed with the gold standard: a Floyd Rose. If you're dead set on a vintage-style shredder, then pick up a Kramer SM-1 Figured.
Feature-laden, high-performance shred machine
Inspired by Kramer's original 1980s designs, the SM-1 Figured is a feature-laden, high-performance shred machine. Its mahogany body exhibits a mega-warm sound with super-long sustain and truckloads of resonance, while its AAA figured maple veneer top provides a head-turning look. Its K-Speed SlimTaper "C" mahogany maple neck features a lightning-fast 14-inch-radius fingerboard with a 25.5-inch scale and 24 medium-jumbo frets. The SM-1 Figured sports a historic beak-style headstock.
Seymour Duncan hot-rodded humbuckers — built to rock hard
Kramer's SM-1 Figured was built for hard rock. And it rocks hard, thanks to its 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. And with a pair of Cool Rails humbuckers in the neck and middle positions, you've got a wide tonal range to explore. Even better, the guitar's master volume boasts a treble bleed mod to maintain shimmering highs at low volumes, along with a mini toggle switch that gives you access to split-coil tones.
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 SM-1 Figured. Similar to other high-performance solidbody electric guitars, the SM-1 Figured 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 SM-1 Figured out of tune.
