Kramer

A modern rocker's single-cutaway that is light, fast, and versatile.

The Kramer Assault 211 FR electric guitar features a single-cutaway mahogany body. A set mahogany neck has a thin taper profile that makes playing effortless. A 24-fret ebony fingerboard sports thorn shaped position inlays. The recessed, double-locking Floyd Rose-licensed tremolo bridge system won't get in your way and will keep you in tune no matter how aggressively you play. A plethora of great tones are generated by the Kramer Assault 211's Alnico V humbucking pickup in the bridge position and two single-coil pickups in the middle and neck positions. Controls include a master volume, master tone, and a 5-way selector. The volume control has what Kramer calls a "treble bleed" mod, that keeps your tone bright when backing down the volume control.

In the mid-1970s, when Kramer Guitars began, they were exclusively producing aluminum necked guitars. In 1982, Kramer cemented an exclusive distribution deal with Floyd Rose. Kramer guitars were also loaded with additional features like Schaller tuners and Seymour Duncan pickups. With the endorsement of Eddie Van Halen, Kramer became the world's best selling guitar in the mid-80s. The Gibson Guitar Company has bought the revered Kramer brand and has reissued many of the historic Kramer guitars and introduced modern design innovations as well. Kramer players include a who's who of rock guitarists with the likes of Eddie Van Halen, Ritchie Sambora, Mick Mars, & Vivian Campbell among them!

Finally a guitar that is versatile. A Strat and a Les Paul all in one and a Floyd Rose as a bonus.This guitar actually played well right out of the box which is rare these days. The quality of the parts and workmanship is quite surprising for this price point. The sound is bright and full and the neck is great. A friend came by as I was setting it up. He played it for a few minutes and went to the phone and called Musician's Friend and ordered one. Enough said. This is a really great guitar for the price.Hopefully Kramer is back to stay.

A new option for players tired of Strats

Any guitar that comes from a factory, unless it is hand crafted needs to be setup. I got this guitar because I've always wanted the features it had, but could only find them in a Strat style guitar. I'm tired of the Stratocaster. If you want to hear the guitars tone, I recorded a song call Waiting 4 Mondays on You Tube with this guitar. The guitar is going straight in to a Boss BR-600 with a little overdrive on it and no editing. It has a great tone with options...some guitars just have one great sound, for one style of player. This guitar is all about options. The built in treble bleed is AMAZING!!! I use my volume pot ALOT for tone control and now I can hear my pickups. One last note: It does not have a push pull tone pot like Musicians friend says it does.

I have had this guitar for about a month. After a little setup and tweaking, I found this axe to be very good. I played Kramers in the 80's, still have two, I also have three Gibson Pauls. This Kramer 211fr is truely interesting. Get it.

Kramer Assault

Overall:
The Kramer Assault is a nice twist on classic Kramer features. It's a LP-shaped guitar, a nod to Kramer's Gibson owners, with a long-scaled fretboard and double-locking tremolo. Sonically the Assault is bright. It's tremolo stays in tune well. The single coils sound great and the humbucker is well-suited to leads and melodic styles. The guitar will need a set-up when first bought. The strings are set kind of high usually. Otherwise it's a great sounding guitar, whether played through a high gain Randall or vintage Marshall like I have done.
