Maybe it's just me and my computer at work, but Kramer's website sure is junky. I guess they are owned or part of Epiphone?
 
This is the first 2019 thing I've seen that I've been jazzed about...totally want that polka dot Nightswan. The SM-1 in orange looks good too, I hope the quality is decent on these. Awesome seeing a full line-up of Kramers again!!
 
Saw a post about these on FB, supposedly none are American made, total bummer... be nice to have a 'Swan MIA.

Gibson owns Kramer, or did, atleast..

This is cool stuff, IMO. I dig the Barettas.
 
Baretta Vintage looks cool. Too bad they didn't make black a color...
 
They were ugly back in the day and haven’t changed.

No s***, that's what I was going to say! Is it too much to have a black guitar these days?!?

If they are not American, I'm not interested anyway. Whoever owns Kramer these days is really blowing a chance to make some dough in my opinion. Just doing a Sambora and Mick Mars signature guitar would probably bring some interest.

Seems like just yesterday Charvel was trying to get back into the fold and now there are a few DeMartini's, a Jake E. Lee, etc.

I have wanted a NightSwan something fierce! Stoked for this.

Yeah, too bad they didn't have more finish options!
 
These do not interest me more than the vintage white SM-1 I recently got.

Maybe if they'd release a Baretta with natural (unpainted) beak headstock...maybe...
 
If they really made them look like the original ones, I might be interested. Those headstocks are fugly and nothing like the original shape.

I thought it said they were made in Tennessee.

if not this is nothing new, foreign-made Kramers have been available for a couple of years
 
To be honest it all looks like junk. I think mostly it looks like a website using HTML 1.0 in 1996!

Kramer was a great brand in the 1980's. I think there is still a good demand for that style of guitar. I think they are offering a few too many models to choose from though. I feel this way about most manufacturers.

I had a cream colored Baretta in the late 80s. I don't miss it.
 
This guitar slays. Will never sell it.

didn't Kramer make some USA built guitars 7 or 8 years ago?

The Pacer reissues were built by a company in Tennessee. I was able to get a raw body from that run and built my Pacer with it.I used all the good stuff like original.

Sweet!!, Anyone at NAMM have anymore info? price?, are there more finishes coming? I'd luv to have backup. My original, 1st ever guitar, I bought it in Tacoma, when I was stationed at Ft Lewis back in 87-88. Somehow it never got ripped off or lost
