Striking Sonic Fury at an Entry-level Price
Kramer's lauded sound and build quality are made more accessible than ever with the Striker HSS electric guitar. Though priced for beginners, the Striker's high-octane performance and tone are anything but, with top-notch tonewoods and optimized electronics throughout. Kramer selected mahogany for the body to lay a warm and balanced foundation. Wrap your hand around the Striker's maple neck with matching fingerboard, and you'll experience absolute comfort in any position courtesy of Kramer's K-Speed Slim Taper "C" neck profile, thin and agile enough to meet the needs of furious fretters of all stripes. To give the Striker the widest tonal palette possible, its bridge humbucker is coupled with a pair of sweet-sounding single-coils, ensuring that gut-punching grind, jazz cleans, sparkling chime, and so much more is easily achieved from the same instrument. Throw in a reliable Floyd Rose locking tremolo for squeals and dives without tuning issues, and Kramer's Striker HSS electric guitar offers the complete package at a phenomenal price point.

HSS configuration delivers wide-ranging tones
It's no surprise that Kramer's instruments dish out plenty of heat for rock, metal, and any aggressive play style you seek. That said, the Striker's trio of in-house-designed pickups offer the kind of versatility found in workhouse guitars fit for any occasion, solidifying this 6-string as much more than your standard shredder axe. A roaring Alnico 5HB-1 humbucker resides in the bridge, delivering plenty of grit and bite with excellent depth and crystal clarity. Flip over to the Alnico 5SC-1 single-coil pickups in the middle and neck positions to channel that coveted spank and twang as well as smooth, glassy cleans. Though a fire-breather at heart, this pickup configuration equips the Striker for sonic battle in any situation.
Bend and dive into oblivion with Floyd Rose
Texturing your solos and leads with tasty tremolo action is a cinch with a trusty Floyd Rose on hand. The Striker comes stock with this double-locking system, keeping things tight at the bridge as well as the nut for unmatched tuning stability. Sweetwater players commonly reach for their Floyd Rose-equipped instruments when needing to add some welcome expression and creativity into their playing, facilitating subtle warbles to screaming dives and everything in between. Throw on the whammy bar, lock it down, and go wild all night long!
