Kramer Baretta Special Guitar - Candy Blue

Product Information

Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered. Being the Kramer Baretta Special such an affordable guitar, there had to be some cheapened features. And, unfortunately, Karmer saved the money by using sub-par hardware. The single volume control is a bit of an on/off affair, but there is a thoughtful treble bleed circuit built-in as the volume is diminished. I will keep the circuit when I upgrade to a push pot to split the coil as they have on the more expensive Kramers. If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

The simple style of the guitar correlates to the sound, but that’s not to say it’s not good. It’s simply raw, straightforward, exactly what you’d expect out of an EVH-inspired guitar. In addition to this, the Mahoganybody is shaped to fit comfortably against your torso, and gives you easy-access to every note on the fingerboard. No-Nonsense Voice This latest collection is certainly worthy of the brand’s heritage, with wild finishes and no options for fixed bridges. It is, after all, what Kramer were famous for – and they still are, looking how much the American-made originals go for secondhand. That said, it’s still capable of pulling nice clean tones, with natural warmth and resonance thanks to the mahogany. Through a good tubular amplifier, for example, you can crank up the clean channel and see the guitar shine as it gains power. However, the hardware is not very solid, and so the guitar’s performance doesn’t stay on point. HardwareIf you let down the snobery, its a great guitar. Not a great guitar for this price, a great guitar whatever the price. Lastly, you have a master volume knob for control. That’s it, so the Kramer Baretta Special doesn’t boast versatility. It is what it is. USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year. I will try this again. I was wondering how it could stay in tune with the angle of the strings beyond the nut being what it is. Did you do any work to the nut, and did it help?

Fretwork is awesome on my blue one, very very good on the Purple one. The fretwork, is way better than my Brand new EVH 5150, After a few month of owning this, and you know, learning about the instrument I own, I have come to realize that a binding nut was the issue. I took a pencil and applied graphite to each nut slot and I no longer have massive tuning issues. NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. Don’t expect much else from what it can but, for its limited range, it’s the most awesome, face-melting sound you can get on a budget. And it does rival much pricier guitars.With the Kramer Baretta Special, that's exactly what you get: a guitar that's incredibly comfortable to play, whether you're seated or standing. The trem is uselles.Meaning with a set up it holds tune BUT no matter how it is set up its stiff as a fart that wont come out The fretboard has no binding around it, which doesn't actually bother me. Aesthetically, it fits the guitar. But the slots they cut in it to put the frets in are filled kind of poorly. This is very minor and not a playablitiy issue at all, and given some of the QC topics I've seen here on some really expensive Gibson's, I really have nothing to complain about. The fretwork itself seems quite good. Nothing sharp or paper cutty.
