For all the Kramer fans looking to take a leap into the future, we have the Kramer Volante Quilt HSFR. This strikingly modern piece from one of the biggest names in '80s rock comes together with exciting new features and materials for modern players looking to get in on the Kramer legacy. Shredders take notice: Kramer's so twenty-first century.

Kramer's Volante Quilt HSFR follows in their grand tradition of blisteringly fast and thrilling double-cutaway instruments. Recontextualized for the modern era, the Kramer formula introduces an exciting set of new features. This all begins with an alder body shaped in a speedy, contoured double-cutaway form. Mobile and seamless, this body is joined by a AAAA quilt maple veneer top that gives it a knockout look. These aesthetics are matched with fine playability with a thermally aged three-piece maple neck. Effortlessly smooth from its satin finish and effortlessly playable from its Elliptical C profile, this Volante's neck makes for a great addition to fall in line with Kramer tradition.

To match the neck's playability, this Kramer loads in an ebony fingerboard. Twenty-four Jumbo frets with Mother of Pearl diamond inlays line the ebony for a speedy fretting experience. Fans of the Kramer '80s classics – the shredders and such – are sure to connect with this board for its ability to enable players to rocket from one end of the scale end to another, and this even before talking about its radius. The Volante's compound radius fingerboard measures 10"-14", starting generally rounder near the headstock and flattening out towards the body for seamless playability.

Sonically, this Volante drops in two Kramer USA pickups. These American-made electronics pair up with a Triton Noiseless single-coil in the neck position and a Neptune humbucker in the bridge position. Together, these pickups create a vast and varied sonic palette to either go clean, driven or dirty. These pickups feature master volume and tone controls with a push/pull switch for series/parallel switching of the Neptune humbucker.

The Volante's hardware setup also offers plenty to write home about. Onboard, the Volante features a Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo bridge with a matching R3 Locking nut. These two hardware specs encourage deep vibrato bends in playing during soloing. For travel, this Kramer comes with a premium gig bag included to ensure safety traveling from place to place.

As a strikingly new addition to the Kramer canon, the Volante Quilt HSFR is a great guitar to pick up and create with.
