Kramer Striker Figured HSS FR, Transparent Red Overview
The Kramer Striker HSS is a multi-purpose, fully loaded shredding machine that delivers ferocious tones alongside a glorious playability. Equipped with three alnico pickups, including a humbucker on the bridge - you'll be sure to find a powerful sound which thrives at high outputs and is bursting with a unique tonal character. What's more, the mahogany body adds a warm resonance to the mix which is complemented beautifully by the bright and lively characteristics of the veneer maple top and solid maple neck.
The fingerboard is Indian laurel, guaranteeing a natural, smooth and comfortable playability which will have you gliding between the frets with ease. One of this guitar's many distinguishable features, though, is the Floyd Rose locking tremolo bridge. This innovative bridge is designed specifically to hold your guitar in tune even through the most intensive whammy action, as well as enabling the deepest dives so you can push your creative boundaries on stage, at home or in the studio.

The Kramer Striker HSS is fixed with the innovative Floyd Rose locking tremolo bridge, which will maximise your creative output and help you to elevate your performance to the next level. No matter how deep you dive, this whammy bridge is right there with you. What's more, it works in harmony with the tuning pegs and Floyd Rose R2 nut to ensure a stable tuning as well as a comfortable action of the strings above the neck. This means you can rock on right through the night with minimal strain, without having to worry about re-tuning between every song.
An almighty sound
The Kramer Striker HSS is designed to deliver a sound that is both powerful and natural - which is why Kramer have built this guitar using premium tonewoods alongside Alnico pickups. The mahogany body ensures a glorious resonance, lightweight feel and tonal warmth which combines to offer a wonderful playability as well as a unique sound. It's paired with an all-maple neck and veneer maple top, which balances out the mix with a lively brightness for a rounded tonal palette which can be moulded to suit your sound. The best thing about these kinds of timber builds is that the tonewoods mature as they lose moisture over time - rewarding you with continuous tonal development.
The Alnico pickups are where you can really explore your own unique voice. These powerful, but completely tailorable pickups range from subtle and soft to all-out destruction and will respond no matter how far you push them. On the neck, you'll find more rounded and warm tones that will deliver well at lower outputs with a more delicate, subtle sound - but will also work well with distortion, especially in the lower end. On the bridge, you have the humbucker, which provides a huge sound that will slice through any mix, juxtaposing against the sound of the other two single coils and delivering the ultimate tonal versatility.
Comfort and style
The Kramer Striker HSS is complete with a beautiful aesthetic that is the perfect balance of striking and understated. Both vintage and modern, the instantly recognisable body shape is complemented by a gorgeous gloss red wrap. The neck also features a satin finish, which will help you to race up and down the neck and fingerboard with lightning speed and pinpoint accuracy. What's more, the neck itself is designed with a Kramer K-Speed SlimTaper C profile, accentuating its manoeuvrability for an innovative performance that will push your playing further than ever before.
