Name: Kramer STRIKER FIGURED HSS Series Electric Guitar (Transparent Purple)
SKU: 605862

Kramer's lauded sound and build quality are made more accessible than ever with the Striker Figured HSS electric guitar. Though priced for beginners, the Striker's high-octane performance and tone are anything but, with top-notch tonewoods and optimized electronics throughout. Kramer selected mahogany for the body to lay a warm and balanced foundation, topped with a stunning figured maple veneer for an extra visual pop on stage. Wrap your hand around the Striker's Indian laurel-capped maple neck, and you'll experience absolute comfort in any position courtesy of Kramer's K-Speed Slim Taper "C" neck profile, thin and agile enough to meet the needs of furious fretters of all stripes. To give the Striker the widest tonal palette possible, its bridge humbucker is coupled with a pair of sweet-sounding single-coils, ensuring that gut-punching grind, jazz cleans, sparkling chime, and so much more is easily achieved from the same instrument. Throw in a Graph Tech NuBone nut and TOM-style stopbar for incredible stability, and Kramer's Striker HSS electric guitar offers the complete package at a phenomenal price point.

HSS configuration delivers wide-ranging tones

It's no surprise that Kramer's instruments dish out plenty of heat for rock, metal, and any aggressive play style you seek. That said, the Striker's trio of in-house-designed pickups offer the kind of versatility found in workhouse guitars fit for any occasion, solidifying this 6-string as much more than your standard shredder axe. A roaring Alnico 5HB-1 humbucker resides in the bridge, delivering plenty of grit and bite with excellent depth and crystal clarity. Flip over to the Alnico 5SC-1 single-coil pickups in the middle and neck positions to channel that coveted spank and twang as well as smooth, glassy cleans. Though a fire-breather at heart, this pickup configuration equips the Striker for sonic battle in any situation.
