The Powerful SM-1 — Sure to Impress!

The Kramer SM-1 is back, and this time comes hot off the wall with a stunning AAA-figured maple veneer top splashed in an assortment of stellar finishes. Aside from its knockout looks, the SM-1 Figured harnesses all the tones and playability of the classic SM-1. And speaking of tone, prepare to bring the heat with Seymour Duncan Cool Rail dual coils in the neck and middle positions, with a blisteringly powerful JB humbucker at the bridge. Die-cast tuners and a classic Floyd Rose 1000 Locking Tremolo bridge prioritize superb intonation and expressive dive-bombs at every whim. Saying this instrument is built to shred is an understatement: the SM-1 Figured’s K-Speed SlimTaper neck supplies a comfortable feel and speedy platform for crushing riffs, extended alternate-picked licks, sweltering sweep arpeggios, marathon legato runs, and anything else you dish out. Sweetwater shredders agree: muscle meets beauty in the Kramer SM-1 Figured electric guitar!

Searing Seymour Duncan humbuckers

They say looks can be deceiving, but the SM1-Figured makes quite the rebuttal. The SM-1 channels that signature sound of the hard-rock greats of the ’80s with ease, courtesy of a pickup pairing with its fair share of attitude. You’ll find some Seymour Duncan Cool Rail humbuckers in the neck and middle positions that’ll help thicken your tone and enrich your playing with a thunderous growl. Just below, at the bridge position, sits a Seymour Duncan JB humbucker specifically engineered for melting faces! Plus, you’ve got a 5-way blade switch with treble bleed and coil splitting to help reel in that perfect tone.

AAA-figured maple veneer

What’s a killer sound without a bit of flair to go with it? At first glance, the SM1-Figured makes a lasting statement. Backing up its incredible tone and responsive feel is the vibrant aesthetic of an AAA-figured maplewood top to cap its resonant and well-sustaining mahogany body. The look of the SM-1 Figured guitar supplies some seriously enviable eye candy for audiences and musicians within eyesight. In other words, it’s just itching to be in the spotlight. And who are we to stand in its way?

Armed with tour-grade appointments

If you’re going to be wailing on the SM-1 Figured, then it’s nice to know that Kramer equipped this axe with ultra-tough hardware. A Floyd Rose 1000 Series Locking Tremolo bridge stands unwavering to the extreme conditions of high-velocity chugs, dive-bombs, pinch harmonics, and any other trick up your sleeve. The same applies to its steadfast die-cast tuners and Floyd Rose R2 Locking nut, ensuring dependable play for the duration of any show. Touring? Local gigs? Headbanging basement jams? The SM-1 Figured can handle it all with aplomb.

Kramer SM-1 Figured Left-handed Electric Guitar Features:

  • Well-sustaining mahogany body offers a great tonal foundation
  • AAA figured maplewood top veneer is an absolute head-turner
  • K-Speed SlimTaper “C”-shaped neck offers comfort and fast playability
  • Seymour Duncan Cool Rail humbuckers in the neck and middle positions
  • Seymour Duncan JB humbucker at the bridge delivers blistering power
  • 5-way blade pickup selector, treble bleed, and coil splitting offer more tone-shaping potential
  • Floyd Rose 1000 Series Locking Tremolo bridge supports dive-bombing to your heart’s content
  • Floyd Rose R2 Locking nut and die-cast tuners prioritize tour-grade intonation
  • Perfect for unleashing that classic metal and 1980s hard-rock tone

Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

See how Sweetwater goes to great lengths to give you the very best online guitar buying experience. From our online Guitar Gallery that allows you to see and select the exact instrument you want to our 55-point Inspection process and our in-house guitar techs, we take the guesswork out of buying your next guitar online.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!
