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).
