Kramer Volante Quilt HHFR Electric Guitar, Ultramarine Burst w/ Premium Gig Bag

With a guitar like the Kramer Volante Quilt HHFR, the classic '80s name has taken a definitive step into the future. This thoroughly modern piece from one of electric guitar's most prolific names comes together with a suite of thrilling new features and specs for modern players to get in on Kramer's legacy. Headbangers take notice: Kramer's for the future.

Kramer's Volante Quilt HHFR follows in classic Kramer tradition of blisteringly fast and wildly expressive double-cutaway guitars. Reshaped and reformatted for the modern era, the Volante Quilt HHFR introduces an exciting new set of features. This all starts, however, with an alder body shaped in a fast, contoured double-cutaway form. Quick and mobile, the body is matched with a AAAA quilt maple veneer top that gives it a knockout look. This aesthetic is matched with the guitar's fine playability with a thermally aged three-piece laminated maple neck. Smooth from its satin finish and seamlessly playable from its Elliptical C profile, this Volante's neck makes for an excellent addition to fall in line with Kramer's playable tradition.

This neck is paired with a fluid and seamless ebony fingerboard. Twenty-four Jumbo frets with Mother of Pearl diamond inlays the ebony for a speedy fretting experience. Established fans of '80s Kramer classics – the shredders and such – are sure to connect with this ebony for its ability to enable players to shoot from one end of the scale to the other. Building upon this playability, the fingerboard features a compound radius, measuring at 10"-14". Starting rounder near the nut but flattening towards the body, this compound radius builds upon the entire playing experience to inspire fast travels across all frets.

Sonically, this Volante loads in two Kramer USA pickups. These American-made electronics come together as two Kramer Neptune Humbucker pickups in both the bridge and neck positions. A five-way pickup selector switch rolls through a varied spectrum of sounds perfect for going clean, driven, or dirty. These pickups punch up with the distinction of being hum-cancelling in all positions keeping everything airtight no matter the volume.

The Volante's hardware setup also offers plenty to get into. Onboard, the Volante features a Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo bridge with a R3 Locking nut to match. These two hardware specs encourage players to work deep vibrato bends into their playing at any and every opportunity. For traveling from one show to the next, this Kramer comes with a premium gig bag included to ensure safety at every turn.

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