  • Kramer Focus 6000
    « Dr. Feelgood!!! »

    Kramer was known primarily in the 80s for a sleazy style guitar instrument. These guitars are basically super stratocasters in which I mean they have the Stratocaster body that Fender makes but they added a humbucker in the bridge position as well as a Floyd Rose or another tremolo system of some sort. These are the kind guitars that you would've seen 80s metal bands use and overall pretty much any person you play hard rock metal back in the 80s. This is the Japanese version of the Pacer custom guitar from Kramer. It was made over in Japan and for the price it gave the budget musician away of getting a super Stratocaster guitar at a more affordable price. Essentially this is the same guitar as a USA made pacers but it just didn't have that USA stamp on the side. There are every bit as high quality guitars as the US standard guitars. UTILIZATION This is a bolt on neck guitar that features a humbug or pick up in the bridge position a Singapore pick up in the middle' pick up in the neck position. You also get a tremolo system that get you do squealing high gain 80s sounds. It comes with a volume control and a tone control as well as a pick up selector. SOUNDS The tone of this guitar is best when used with a high gain amplifier of some sort. So if you're using it with a high gain Marshall amplifier or a Mesa boogie or anything that puts out a lot of saturation or distortion in his guitars to be a good complement to that amplifier. This guitar is not a sound that great as a clean and guitar for country or pop music. This is a very explosive guitar when you get a lot of tubes saturation. Overall it sounds very good if you like the tone of the super Strat style bodies with these high output pick ups installed. OVERALL OPINION This is a cool guitar if you're into the pointy headstock 80s shred guitars. This is an not for someone who is into indie rock or pop rock or anything like that. This is a for a hard rock or metal playing guitarist. It's a cool guitar into the price if you can find one there not that bad. I recommend this to anyone is looking for a court 80s guitar with a little bit of nostalgia.

  • Kramer Standard Pro
    « S101 Standard »

    Im a musician in a few bands this guitar is not a performance guitar... i wouldnt even use it as backup. But if you want to thrash a stage and need a cheap guitar to do it then this is your guy. The guitar was free. This is the worst stratocastor nock off ever!!!! It would tottally give you the right effect for smashing and destroying a guitar in a live performance... it's quite good at shattering and the noise during smashing is hilarious. Nothing its never in sync its always falling out of tune it rattles BAD. This quite litterally is the worst guitar ive ever played. If your a performer who smashes guitars after peformance like kurt cobain this is your guitar... Mind you Kurt always had cheap guitars and as far as i know never had a nice one. I do like where the plug in is. It's fairly light "fun to smash". Sound, Quality, The neck is very weak, hard to tune, Almost everything on the guitar is mad of the cheapest possible parts. Not neccessarily materials but construction of parts on the guitar... sucks This is the perfect guitar for show period. Not for recording. Not for performance. If you smashing things in your act then i tottally recommend this as the guitar for just that. Shrapnal everywhere beautiful smashing sounds coming from the amp. #1 for smashings acts. It's cheap and expendable. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

  • Kramer Focus VT-111S
    « Kramer Focus 111S »

    i got it off ebay for about £80 it looks nice, i got the red and black version and it looks reaaly cool. It sounds pretty good (especially for the price) and you get a reasonable range of sounds from the pickup selector i bought this a as first guitar, seeing the low price and the good reviews, however, for me, it doesn't work as a begginers guitar becaus of the neck . The frets are spaced quite away apart (at least, compared to some of the other guitars i've tried) which makes learning chords for the first time hard, also, the strings are high off the neck which is hell on the fingers until you get used to it. Another problem I've found is getting it to stay in tune, epecially when using the whammy bar. seems fairly well built a good guitar, but DON'T buy if off the internet, try it out first, especially if you are a beginner. (i personally am thinking about getting a strat) This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

  • Kramer 600 ST
    « Kramer 600ST »

    i paid £150 for this thing, and it pretty much dissapointed me straight away. i was shocked to know gibson could come out with something so awful. it has now left me and a les paul has taken its place thank god. nothin...it has a hell of a lot of distortion but for solos, dont even think about it, it sounds like a gayass 80s movie and chokes instantly when finger tapping, and i onlyhad it for a year, in brilliant cond. too. everything, apart from the distortion u get when playing powerchords. well, the construction is ok, but a lot of scratching will appear under the strings, and is clearly visable. this guitar sucks, if u want an avanced encore, be my guest This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

    « Kramer Focus »

    I told my parents to get me a guitar for christmas. Nothing expensive, just something that made a sound. I looked all around the internet for a cheap guitar and I found Musicyo.com. I typed in "under $100" and it gave me a focus for $85. I had looked at other reviews and it looked like everyone liked it. I love everything about this guitar.If you look at anymore reviews and they say negative things about this guitar don't pay any attention to them because they are totally gay, or they have been playing on $500 guitars their whole life. I got the "Yo Rig" package and it came with a tuner,picks, ect. and the strap it came with was the only thing I didn't like because it scratches my neck. Great construction and it looks awsome. Mine came in candy apple red and there is not one bad thing about it. This is a great guitar for a beginner or person that has been playing for a while.

  • Kramer Baretta
    « Classic superstrat »

    The Kramer Baretta was one of THE guitars to own in the eighties. Due to the endorsement of one Edward Van Halen, Kramer was extremely successful in the early to mid eighties as one of the premier companies making superstrat guitars at the time. The Baretta was basically the company's take on Ed's famous one pickup guitar that graced so many stages throughout that time. It features an alder body, a maple neck with either a maple or rosewood fretboard, 22 frets with dot inlays (some later models had claw inlays) an Original Floyd Rose tremolo, Schaller tuners and a Seymour Duncan JBJ humbucker with a single volume control. The guitar was made in a variety of colours - both solid finishes as well as some cool custom graphics painted by people like Knapp or Kline. They were built in Neptune NJ, though many bodies/necks actually came from ESP in Japan. UTILIZATION The design of the guitar is reasonably ergonomic overall. The shape lends itself very well to fast playing, and the feel of the neck is totally appropriate to some EVH type technical flights of fancy. They were a high end guitar back in the day and the craftsmanship was excellent on these guitars. The body sits quite well on your person and it's well contoured and fairly light to boot. The upper fret access is great too. It's not quite as good as some of the later Ibanez RGs or JEMs but it's pretty awesome considering the time period. Getting a good sound out of this guitar is pretty simple overall. It doesn't have a lot of controls, and it's not the most versatile ax in the world, but when used for technical rock or shred stuff, it has a sound that is the bee's knees, man! SOUNDS I've tried this guitar through various different amps and it's definitely designed with the high octane player in mind. Though it doesn't really have the highest output in the world, it's definitely a rocker's guitar. The JBJ pickup has excellent harmonic content and put through a Marshall or Mesa, it just sings for rock rhythms or really crazy and wild sounding lead work a-la EVH or George Lynch. It's a bit less refined sounding to me than a Charvel San Dimas or an Ibanez but it has a certain raw quality that just works really well for eighties hard rock. OVERALL OPINION All in all I think the Kramer Baretta is a really excellent example of the 80s superstrat. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of some of the later models, but it has that tone that everyone wanted or had back in the time of big hair and flashy guitars. They can be picked up for under $1,000 used which is a killer deal considering the quality and tone that's available. Definitely check one out.
