Stylish, Elegant, and Ready to Melt Faces

The Kramer Assault started life as the Kramer Custom when it was first released in 2000. A modern take on the Les Paul™, it has since become a popular model for hard rock and metal players who want a lighter and sleeker single cutaway guitar. This newly updated version features a new three-piece thermally-aged maple neck with a satin-finished back, K-Speed SlimTaper™ C profile, and 25.5” scale length, while the ebony fretboard is equipped with 24 jumbo frets and decked out with classic Kramer Diamond Eye inlays. The mahogany body is capped with a AAA flame maple veneer and is packing a pair of Kramer USA Eruption humbucker™ pickups for full-throttled tone and plenty of attitude. They’re wired to individual volume controls and a master tone control, all of which use CTS® potentiometers. Of course, we also included a Floyd Rose® 1000 series tremolo and R2 locking nut so you can dive-bomb any audience into submission at will and a premium gig bag to help keep it safe when you’re headed out to blow everyone away at your next gig.
