Like a hot-rodded '80s original, the Kramer SM-1 Figured packs a ton of appeal for heavy metal guitarists. For starters, this solidbody electric guitar's familiar double-cut body and classic beak-style headstock were plucked straight out of the decade of decadence. What's more, its mahogany body gives it a warm sound with long sustain and acoustic resonance by the truckload. Its AAA figured maple veneer top ensures an attention-grabbing look that's impossible to ignore. Its K-Speed SlimTaper "C" neck and ruler-flat 14-inch-radius fingerboard ensures lightning-fast playability. And with a pair of Seymour Duncan Cool Rails humbuckers combined with a JB humbucker at the bridge, the SM-1 Figured delivers a world of vivacious tones to explore, from plucky cleans to rich, punchy rhythms and leads. Treble-bleed controls and a coil-tap toggle round out to this guitar's premium features. And since no guitar would be shred-worthy without a double-locking tremolo, the SM-1 Figured comes armed with the gold standard: a Floyd Rose. If you're dead set on a vintage-style shredder, then pick up a Kramer SM-1 Figured.
