Being a leader in worldwide guitar manufacturing themselves, Gibson knew the brand was something special, and also that they could once again bring the brand back to being a leader in the industry.The following specs were carefully collected and recorded by a skilled technician. The king of guitar brands slowly burnt out almost as quickly as it began. Kramer had risen so quickly to guitar brand dominance only to have the same type of exciting ride which led the brand’s sad demise.
In addition to Van Halen, Kramer players included a who’s who of rock guitarists, including Ritchie Sambora, Mick Mars, Vivian Campbell, and many, many more! 11 Years ago, the Gibson Guitar Company bought the revered Kramer brand, which, by then, was completely defunct. Coincidentally 2009 marks the 25th anniversary of the merger of an artist, a guitar and a tremolo to give birth to the most recognizable guitar in Rock-n-roll history Eddie Van Halen’s 1984 striped Kramer (photo is for historic purposes only). Well, that did happen! Kramer became the world’s best selling guitar in the mid-80s, passing the historic and iconic Gibson and Fender brands. When a meeting between Eddie Van Halen and Kramer execs took place, Eddie was quickly sold on the opportunity and he reportedly quipped that he would help make Kramer the “#1 guitar company in the world.” The story goes like this - Eddie had been interested in finding a tremolo that stayed in tune, which would be more stable and versatile and than existing tremolos. The Kramer roster was obviously led by Eddie Van Halen, who took the Kramer and Floyd Rose combination to heights never even conceived by existing guitarists. Kramer’s artist roster quickly rose to house the biggest, baddest, meanest, loudest, fastest, and best Guitar Stars in the world. The great Floyd Rose equipped Kramer guitars were loaded with additional features like Schaller tuners and Seymour Duncan pickups, and made Kramer the clear favorite of the 80’s metal guitar players. At that time, Kramer became the only brand to introduce the world to the new and revolutionary Floyd Rose Locking Tremolos.
In 1982, Kramer wanted to be more competitive in the emerging “heavy metal” market, and Kramer cemented an exclusive distribution deal with Floyd Rose. The aluminum neck production continued until the first wooden neck guitars developed by Kramer were put into production in 1981. When Kramer Guitars began, they were exclusively producing aluminum neck guitars. The history of Kramer Guitars began in the mid-1970s. The current Kramer line includes electrics, acoustics and gear, made overseas since 1998 and sold though MusicYo. The Kramer company went bankrupt in 1990, was revived in 1995 and acquired by Gibson in 1996. It is best known for electric solidbody guitars (played by Edward Van Halen).
