NASHVILLE, TN (August 9, 2022) Kramer, the original Made To Rock Hard guitar brand has been setting trends with premium, performance-focused instruments since 1976. Made for rule-breakers that play fast and loud, Kramer has been embraced by legendary rockers and shredders like Eddie Van Halen, Vivian Campbell, Richie Sambora, Elliot Easton, Mick Mars. With its Original, Modern and Artist Collections, Kramer covers entry-level and intermediate guitars, as well as professional musician offerings, across the entire line. Kramer continues to be the guitar of choice for today's hard rock and metal legends. Today, Kramer has unveiled the new Striker collection, available in three different configurations.

Part of the Kramer Modern Collection, the all-new Striker collection is a gorgeous entry into the high-performance, shred-ready world of Kramer guitars.
