Returns Simplified.Kramer has long been known as a brand that makes guitars that meet the needs of highly fluid and technical playersa brand for shredders and virtuosos. For nearly 50 years, Kramer has been the guitar choice for legendary trailblazers, but were not resting on our laurels. Today, were crafting guitars for the next generation of innovators. The new Kramer Volante Quilt HHFR is the proof; its a modern instrument with cutting-edge features built to satisfy the needs of contemporary players who demand a high-performance guitar suitable for a variety of styles, including todays heavier musical genres.
The Italian word Volante translates to flying or light in English and signifies the musical ideas of speed and movement. As a musical direction, it commands playing fast and fluidly. Kramers latest platform, the Volante, embodies that spirit of speed and fluidity. The Volante Quilt HHFR offers cutting-edge features, including a lightweight alder body with a gorgeous AAAA quilt maple veneer top and forearm and body comfort carves. The 3-piece, satin-finished maple neck is bolted to the body with five bolts and ferrules and has a sculpted heel for improved upper fret access. It also features the new Kramer KeyLock system. The KeyLock, developed by Senior Product Development Engineer Richard Akers, provides incredible neck stability. Paired with Kramers five-bolt neck-to-body joint, it prevents movement in the neck pocket, increasing vibrational tone transfer, sustain, and intonation.
The neck is thermally aged and has a fast-playing Kramer Elliptical C profile. It is capped with an ebony fretboard with 24 jumbo frets, mother-of-pearl diamond inlays, and a compound (10-14) fretboard radius. The truss rod uses a spoke wheel style adjustment at the body end of the fretboard, making it quick and easy to access. The 25.5 scale length is great for drop tuning. A Floyd Rose R3 locking nut and 1000 Series tremolo keep the tuning rock-solid no matter how much you use the vibrato bar.
The pickups are a pair of Kramer USA Neptune humbuckers wired to master volume and tone controls and a 5-way blade-style pickup selector switch that is wired for maximum tonal versatility. In position 1, the bridge pickup operates alone as a humbucker wired in series. In position 2, the bridge and neck pickups run together, but each is in single-coil mode, with the slug coil of the bridge pickup running with the screw coil of the neck pickup. Position 3 uses both pickups combined, with each running as a series-wired humbucker. Position 4 uses the neck pickup by itself, running as a parallel-wired humbucker, while position 5 gives you the neck humbucker pickup wired in series. The pickups are hum-canceling in all positions.
While this isnt an 80s design, its a Kramer, so like all of our guitars, it still has plenty of in-your-face, Made to Rock Hard attitude and all of the features that todays virtuoso players demand. A premium gig bag is also included to keep your Volante Quilt HHFR safe when stored or while its in transport to your next gig.
