Kramer The 84 Electric Guitar Eruption Red Satin
Description
Kramer's The 84 electric guitar lets you tap into '80s hard rock tone and style. Built with an alder body and maple neck modeled after Eddie Van Halen's iconic ax, this reissue delivers powerful sound and lightning-fast playability. A Seymour Duncan JB humbucker provides the biting bridge pickup tone that defined an era of shredding, while a Floyd Rose 1000 series tremolo lets you dive bomb and squeal. This guitar is made for the serious rocker looking to unleash face-melting solos.
Iconic '80s Body and Neck
The 84's alder body and maple neck are shaped to Eddie Van Halen's specifications, providing the ideal rock platform. The body's lightweight alder produces a resonant tone with crisp highs and tight lows. The neck's smooth maple construction speeds up your fretting hand for fluid solos and complex riffs. A walnut skunk stripe adds an attractive touch. Together, these materials give you the quintessential hot-rodded rock sound and feel.
High-Output Bridge Pickup
This guitar comes loaded with a Seymour Duncan JB humbucker mounted at the bridge for searing lead tone. The JB is a high-output pickup that delivers aggressive rock crunch and soaring sustain. Its punchy midrange cuts through the mix while still holding onto tight bottom end. Activate the push-pull volume knob to switch from series to parallel wiring for more variations. The JB handles everything from Van Halen-esque solos to chunky power chords with authority.
Dive-Bomb-Ready Tremolo
A Floyd Rose 1000 series double-locking tremolo lets you perform radical pitch bends, dive bombs and squeals. The Floyd Rose features a low-profile design that doesn't impede your picking hand. After tuning the guitar, lock down the nut and bridge to ensure rock-solid intonation no matter how aggressively you use the tremolo arm. This Kramer is built for experimenting with all the extreme techniques that defined '80s rock guitar.
Road-Ready Performance
The 84's construction, including a graphite-reinforced neck, is designed to handle the rigors of touring and frequent stage use. With a lightweight alder body and contoured edges, this guitar provides hours of comfortable playability. It ships in a gig bag for easy transport to rehearsals, studio sessions and shows. For players chasing an iconic '80s rock sound and feel, The 84 delivers in spades.
