The new Kramer Baretta Special has a pedigree like few instruments out there. Styled in the image of the original Kramer Barettas of the early to mid 1980s, one of which was the choice of the legendary Edward Van Halen, the Baretta Special has the distinctive offset double-cutaway body and droopy “hockey” headstock that set the rock world alight nearly 30 years ago, while providing the power and playability required to do justice to its namesake.
