Kramer Guitars emerged in the 1970s as one of the first successful upstarts to challenge Gibson and Fender as a worldwide leader in manufacturing quality electric guitars and basses. Kramer’s association with guitar virtuoso Eddie Van Halen early in his career gave Kramer a global reputation for creating unique guitars with custom features including the sophisticated Floyd RoseTM tremolo system. Today, Kramer is still the home of cutting edge ideas in guitar design.
