Kramer
Guitars had an absolute influence on the rock industry, rock guitars, and
had very famous endorsees such as Edward Van Halen, Richie Sambora, Mick
Mars, Vivian Campbell and countless other high-profile guitarists in the
1980s.
Kramer embraced the excess of the late 1980s too readily--producing slick
and fluorescent guitars, losing its leadership in the guitar manufacturing
arena, and damaging the image of the brand.
The original Kramer Company effectively came to an end in 1991, mostly due
to financial problems. The Kramer Brand was sold out of bankruptcy to Gibson
Guitar
Corporation.
Kramer's exclusive use of the Floyd Rose tremolo, Schaller tuning keys, and
Seymour Duncan pickups held it to a higher standard, above and beyond other
makers in
the 1980s. The Original Floyd Rose Tremolo is still marketed and sold to
this day by Floyd Rose and a former Kramer executive.
True to their late 1980s slogan, "A Step Ahead," Kramer delivered
innovation. In turn, Kramer found its spot in guitar history-outselling
Fender and Gibson two years in a
row (1985 - 1986).
