A head-turning shred machine with bold graphics and searing tone.
The Kramer The 84 "The Illusionist" electric guitar brings jaw-dropping visual flair and classic shred performance together in one wildly expressive axe. Finished in an exclusive 3D Black/White Swirl designed by artist Bo Pittman, this guitar's look was inspired by hot rod motorcycle graphics and turned heads at the 2020 Winter NAMM Show. The original hand-painted version was so popular that Kramer teamed up with Pittman to recreate this optical-illusion masterpiece for players everywhere. More than just a piece of wall art, The Illusionist delivers searing tone and rock-solid playability with its high-output Seymour Duncan JB humbucker and Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo. Pairing high-performance construction with iconic Kramer attitude, this instrument was built to command stages and captivate audiences.
Classic Alder Body With Timeless Kramer Style
At its core, The Illusionist stays true to the blueprint that made Kramer a household name among '80s shredders and modern metal players alike. Its lightweight alder body strikes the ideal balance between resonance and comfort, making marathon jam sessions feel effortless. The double-cutaway shape allows unhindered access to the highest frets, letting your solos fly without restriction. The hypnotic 3D swirl graphic over a sleek gloss finish sets it apart from the crowd, making a statement on any stage. It's a showpiece that feels just as good slung low for classic power chords or perched high for precision tapping runs.
Hard Maple Neck With Walnut Skunk Stripe for Ultrafast Playability
The 84's slim hard maple neck, reinforced with a walnut skunk stripe, is built for unrestrained speed. Its K-Speed SlimTaper C profile nestles comfortably in your hand, giving you a familiar feel that stays quick and playable all the way up the fretboard. The 25.5" scale length delivers that snappy tension players crave for articulate picking and big bends. A hard maple fingerboard with black dot inlays and 22 medium-jumbo frets provides a smooth, consistent playing surface under every riff and shred flurry. From tight rhythm chugs to lightning-fast solos, this neck is engineered for total control.
Seymour Duncan JB Humbucker for Hot, Punchy Tone
Under the hood, The 84 roars with a Seymour Duncan JB humbucker, one of the most revered pickups in rock and metal. Known for its rich harmonics, tight low end and boosted upper mids, the JB delivers everything from creamy leads to crunchy, aggressive riffing. A single 500K master volume knob keeps things streamlined and features a push/pull series/parallel switch for versatile tonal options. Flip between classic series punch or the tighter, brighter snap of a parallel configuration on the fly. Plug in, dial up your gain and watch this pickup roar to life with power and clarity that cuts through the mix.
Floyd Rose 1000 Series Tremolo for Dive-Bomb Mayhem
No shred machine is complete without a rock-solid tremolo, and The 84 delivers with a Floyd Rose 1000 Series system. Paired with a matching R2 1000 Series locking nut and chrome string retaining bar, this bridge stays perfectly in tune through the most extreme whammy dives and pull-ups. Whether you're adding subtle vibrato or going full Eddie Van Halen, the Floyd Rose handles it all with precision and stability. Chrome knurled knobs and premium mini die-cast tuners add durability and a polished look, while the included Kramer premium gig bag ensures your eye-popping swirl stays safe wherever the riffs take you.
A Special-Edition Kramer Built for Modern Shredders
Equal parts showstopper and shredder's dream, the Kramer The 84 "The Illusionist" electric guitar is ready to captivate crowds and handle any high-octane performance you throw at it. With its stunning swirl graphics, iconic Kramer playability and fiery Seymour Duncan JB pickup, this guitar is fast, aggressive and ready to shred. Grab yours and unleash your next-level riffs in style.
