Overview

A high-octane shred machine with custom graphics and blistering tone.

The Kramer Baretta Hot Rod electric guitar sets the stage ablaze with high-octane style and pure shred power. Dressed in a sparkly blue finish with custom flame graphics by Kramer artist Chris Stemmer, this metal machine was inspired by the glittery hot-rodded collectible cars of the swinging '60s. The Baretta backs up its bold looks with some serious firepower. Under the hood, an alder body keeps it resonant yet lightweight, while a fast three-piece maple neck and smooth maple fingerboard ensure your fingers fly across all 22 jumbo frets. Loaded with a roaring Seymour Duncan JB zebra-coil humbucker and a rock-solid Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo with an R2 locking nut, this Baretta is built for wild dive bombs, screaming leads and breakneck riffs. A premium gig bag is included—so you're ready to rip right out of the box.

Classic Alder Body With Iconic Baretta Shape

At the heart of the Baretta Hot Rod is its sleek, lightweight alder body—an essential ingredient in the snappy attack and balanced resonance that metal and hard rock players crave. The Baretta's iconic double-cutaway shape is more than just a nod to its shredding heritage; it gives you uninhibited access to all 22 frets for screaming solos and lightning-fast licks. The dazzling flame finish accentuates the Baretta's classic curves, allowing this guitar to command the spotlight wherever it goes. It's part of the Kramer Custom Graphics Collection, a series celebrating rock's rebellious spirit through bold, unmistakable visuals. If your goal is to stand out sonically and visually, this Baretta has you covered.

Fast 3-Piece Maple Neck With Smooth Maple Fingerboard

Engineered for aggressive riffing and precise shredding, the Baretta Hot Rod sports a slim, fast 3-piece maple neck that feels like an extension of your hand. The sleek, thin neck profile keeps fatigue at bay during marathon sets while providing effortless speed and comfort across the entire 25.5" scale. Topped with a smooth maple fingerboard adorned with crisp black dot inlays, it offers a bright, articulate snap that cuts through dense mixes with ease. With 22 frets perfectly dressed for low action, this neck was built to handle two-handed tapping, furious runs and expressive bends without breaking a sweat.

Seymour Duncan JB Humbucker for High-Output Aggression

Fueling this high-octane machine is a single Seymour Duncan JB zebra-coil humbucker, a staple for countless rock and metal players seeking tight lows, punchy mids and sizzling harmonics. Its versatility means you can dial in searing leads or crunchy rhythms with authority and clarity. The Baretta Hot Rod keeps controls simple and direct—a 500K master volume knob featuring a push/pull series/parallel switch expands your tonal palette, letting you toggle between thick, aggressive series tones and the cleaner snap of a parallel circuit. Plug in, crank up and unleash the fire—this pickup is primed to roar.

Floyd Rose 1000 Series Tremolo for Sonic Acrobatics

True to its shred roots, the Baretta Hot Rod comes armed with a Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo and a matching R2 1000 Series locking nut with a chrome string retaining bar. This setup guarantees rock-solid tuning stability, even under extreme dive bombs, flutters and squeals. Chrome knurled dome knobs, mini die-cast tuners and clean chrome plating complete the premium hardware package, ensuring this Baretta performs as fiercely as it looks. It's a setup built for players who demand precision and reliability during intense performances.
