Can one of the O.G. shred brands "transcend nostalgia" with its new $1,000 high-performance SuperStrat?

- AMIT SHARMA

GIVEN ITS CONNECTION to Eddie Van Halen in the Eighties, Kramer is a brand steeped in history for high-gain players hoping to dazzle audiences with technical proficiency. The brand-new Volante series follows that trend, with the Gibson-owned brand hoping to "transcend nostalgia" and position itself as the "progressive choice for high-performance guitarists." There are twin humbucker models with a Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo and classic super-S-style options with a single-coil in the neck and a vintage-style two-point tremolo system, like this Volante HSGT in Triburst.
