Kramer is ready to "melt faces" with the Kramer 84, Assault, Pacer Carrera, Jersey Star, and Nite-V

Kramer has been a guitar brand synonymous with high-octane performance since 1976, and now they’re cranking up the volume with the release of six new models that are set to turn heads and melt faces. These fresh additions to the Kramer Original and Modern Collections—the Kramer 84, Assault, Assault Figured, Pacer Carrera, Jersey Star, and Nite-V—are now available worldwide at authorized dealers and on the official Kramer website.

Kramer 84

Celebrating four decades of dominance, the Kramer 84 remains the no-nonsense, rock-solid beast that has won the hearts of shredders everywhere. This updated version stays true to its 80s roots, with the new rear-mounted stinger headstock finish, a direct-to-body mounted Kramer USA Eruption T humbucker designed by Gibson’s Master Luthier Jim DeCola, and a retro-style knurled volume knob. The classic features are all here too—a lightweight alder body, 84 Banana headstock, and a Floyd Rose® 1000 series tremolo. Available in bold finishes like Intruder Black Satin, Eruption Red Satin, and Angel White Satin, plus exclusive online colours Bumblebee Yellow Satin and Atlas Green Satin, the Kramer 84 is also offered in a left-handed version exclusively through the Kramer website.

Nite-V

If you’re ready to unleash some serious metal mayhem, the Kramer Nite-V is your weapon of choice. Since its debut in 2008, this axe has been embraced by metal heavyweights like Charlie Parra and Prika Amaral. The latest iteration features a sleek mahogany body with string-through construction, a 14-degree angled headstock, locking tuners, and a Graph Tech® nut. With a thermally aged maple neck, bound ebony fretboard adorned with Thorn inlays, and a pair of Kramer USA-made Eruption pickups, the Nite-V is designed for pure, unadulterated shredding. Available in Royal Blue Metallic and Crimson Metallic, this V-shaped monster comes with a premium gig bag, ensuring it’s ready to rule the stage all night long.

Pacer Carrera

The Kramer Pacer Carrera is a blast from the past, resurrected from the Kramer vault where it gained cult status in the 80s. This sleek machine combines the thrill of fast cars and fast guitars, featuring a Seymour Duncan®-equipped tone machine with an ebony fretboard and a satin-finished maple neck. With a choice of Ebony or Defender Red gloss finishes inspired by the world’s fastest cars, this hot-rodded guitar is all about speed and style. The Pacer Carrera’s Seymour Duncan SH-2N neck and JB™ bridge pickups deliver horsepower and tonal variety, while the Floyd Rose® 1000 Series vibrato and R2 Locking Nut ensure that this guitar is ready for anything. A premium gig bag is included, so you can take this tone machine wherever the road leads.

Assault Figured

Kramer’s Assault Figured model is a modern take on the classic Les Paul™ style, tailored for hard rock and metal players who demand a lighter, sleeker single cutaway guitar. This updated version features a new three-piece thermally aged maple neck with a K-Speed SlimTaper™ C profile, 25.5” scale length, and an ebony fretboard with 24 jumbo frets and Kramer Diamond Eye inlays. The mahogany body, topped with a AAA flame maple veneer, is equipped with a pair of Kramer USA Eruption humbucker pickups, ready to deliver full-throttled tone with attitude to spare. Available in Caribbean Blue Perimeter and Magenta Perimeter, the Assault Figured also comes in exclusive colours like Jet Black Metallic, Bumblebee Yellow, and Vice City Pink online. A premium gig bag is included to keep your guitar safe and sound.

Jersey Star

For players who want it all—more pickups, more speed, and more Kramer attitude—the Jersey Star is your go-to guitar. First released in the 80s, this model has been one of Kramer’s longest-running favourites, and the latest version doesn’t disappoint. Featuring gold hardware, a three-piece maple neck with an elliptical C profile, and a 25.5” scale length, the Jersey Star is built for speed and comfort. The maple fretboard boasts 22 jumbo frets and mother-of-pearl star inlays, while the alder body features a trio of Kramer USA Neptune humbuckers designed by Gibson’s Richard Akers, paired with coil-tap mini switches and a Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo. Available in White Pearl and Black Pearl, this guitar comes with a premium gig bag to protect your gear wherever you go.

Whether you’re just starting your musical journey or you’re a seasoned pro, Kramer’s refreshed lineup has something to offer. With instruments that span from their classic Original Collection to the cutting-edge Modern Collection, Kramer continues to deliver top-tier guitars that rock hard, no matter where you are on the globe.
