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.
