Kramer Baretta Special, Purple Overview
It doesn't get more rock 'n' roll than this. The Kramer Baretta Special is ludicrously satisfying to play. With a single Alnico V humbucker in the bridge, there's no pretension here - just pure, no-nonsense tone, and plenty of output to boot. There's no array of pointless knobs and pickup selectors which you'll never use anyway - just a single master volume control and tonnes of attitude. And a slim maple neck and fingerboard make for super smooth playing, also adding a touch of brightness to the pounding, punchy tone of this guitar. The Baretta Special has everything the modern guitarist demands from their axe.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionPure pickup power
Who needs two pickups anyway? The Alnico V Zebra coil humbucker is single but not ready to mingle with another pickup – because it does just fine on its own. Offering high output, crunch, bite, articulation, and a distinctive voicing, it'll help bring your rock 'n' roll licks to life. Whether you're playing lead or rhythm, you can be sure that it'll excel in each area. Expect a fat, beefy voicing for chords and a sweet, seductive tone for melodies. And there's a single volume dial for quick, easy control.
Smooth playing
Fretting freedom. The maple neck on this Baretta Special is made to a slim profile for incredible agility and manoeuvrability. You won't have any trouble sliding up and down at speed, letting you play any riff or song easily. There's also a maple fretboard, which adds even more brightness to this guitar's tone, and also facilitates swift, easy movements for your fingers. You'll have no trouble letting your imagination run free on this incredible instrument.
Vibrant vibrato
Everyone loves a bit of vibrato. For those who are truly addicted, the inclusion of a whammy bar and tremolo bridge makes for endless hours of fun. You'll be able to bend notes with precision to make each riff sound extra special. The bridge also helps to support your strings and keep them in tune. Complete with a simple, beautiful finish and an iconic body shape – this is a no nonsense guitar which will inspire you.
