Kramer – fully revived and under the ownership of Gibson – has launched its 2021 Original and Modern collections of guitars.

Based on some of Kramer's most beloved designs, the Original line is comprised of the Baretta Special ($179), Focus VT -211S ($129), the 84 ($799), the Baretta ($699), Jersey Star ($1,149), Pacer ($759), SM-1 ($1,049), NightSwan ($899), and more.

The Modern Collection, meanwhile, takes classic designs and updates them with more modern pickups, electronics, tremolo options, and neck-to-body joints. The line is comprised of the Assault 220 ($379), Assault Plus ($829), Nite-V ($399), and Nite-V Plus ($659).

“We leveled-up with our Kramer re-birth and new focus, giving hard rock and heavy metal shredders what they wanted,” Gibson CMO Cesar Gueikian said. 

“This is just the beginning for Kramer, we have big plans for the brand’s future, starting with these exciting collections and collaborations plus a few more we will be announcing throughout 2021.”
