For shredders in the early 1980s, the Kramer Baretta represented something of a dream guitar (thanks to a young guitarist with a penchant for Frankensteining homemade guitars). The Baretta encapsulates everything that was bodacious about that coveted double-cutaway classic and catapults it into the 21st century. This high-performance axe features an alder body, so it exhibits a balanced sound with long sustain that blends perfectly in a busy mix of drums, bass, guitars, and even a synth or two. Its ruler-flat 12.6-inch-radius fingerboard ensures lightning-fast playability. Plug into your favorite high-gain stack, and you’ll be greeted by classic hot-rodded humbucker tones, courtesy of a slanted Seymour Duncan JB bridge pickup. No guitar would be shred worthy without a double-locking tremolo, and the Baretta includes the gold standard — a Floyd Rose. The Baretta features head-turning "Danger Zone" body graphics, rock-solid die-cast tuners, and an eye-grabbing reverse banana-style headstock.
Why do some of the used instruments have a “used” stamp on the back of the headstock?
This step is a long-standing agreement we have had with some of our manufacturing partners taken to protect their interests and to prevent the filing of improper warranty claims. For many consumers, the “used” stamp is recognized as a sign of quality, giving confidence that an instrument originating from MIRC has been properly set-up and refurbished by a professional tech.
