Kramer is celebrating five decades of shaping rock history, and they’re taking it all the way to 11! To honor this milestone, Kramer have introduced a limited-edition lineup of some of our most beloved models, each dressed in a striking metallic Anniversary Gold finish. These instruments helped define an era and continue to inspire players worldwide. Available only during this anniversary year, they’re destined to become prized pieces for collectors and musicians alike. The name “Volante” comes from the Italian word for “flying” or “light,” evoking speed and motion. In music, it signals a directive to play with agility and fluidity—qualities that define Kramer’s newest creation.
The 50th Anniversary Volante HHFR delivers that spirit with advanced features, starting with a lightweight alder body sculpted for comfort. Its three-piece, thermally-aged maple neck sports a satin finish and bolts to the body with five ferrules, complemented by a contoured heel for effortless upper-fret access. The neck also incorporates Kramer’s innovative KeyLock system, engineered by Senior Product Development Engineer Richard Akers, which enhances stability and sustain by eliminating neck pocket movement and improving tone transfer.
The ebony fretboard features a 10–14″ compound radius, mother-of-pearl small diamond inlays, and 24 jumbo frets for smooth bends and expressive vibrato. A spoke-wheel truss rod adjustment at the body end ensures quick, convenient tweaks. The classic Kramer “beak” headstock is finished in Anniversary Gold and equipped with a rear-mounted Floyd Rose® R3 locking nut, black mini die-cast tuners, a string retainer bar, and a rear wrench holder for on-the-go adjustments. A Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo rounds out the hardware, delivering rock-solid tuning stability no matter how aggressively you use the vibrato arm.
A pair of Kramer USA Neptune humbuckers™ provides a wide tonal palette via a master volume, master tone, and a five-way blade switch. In position 1, the bridge pickup operates alone as a humbucker wired in series. In position 2, the bridge and neck pickups run together, but each is in single-coil mode, with the slug coil of the bridge pickup running with the screw coil of the neck pickup. Position 3 uses both pickups combined, with each running as a series-wired humbucker. Position 4 uses the neck pickup by itself, running as a parallel-wired humbucker, while position 5 gives you the neck humbucker pickup wired in series.
From full-throttle humbucker punch to nuanced single-coil textures, every position is hum-canceling and voiced for versatility. Each 50th Anniversary Volante HHFR ships in a premium Kramer gig bag, ready for the stage or studio. More than just an instrument, it’s a collector’s piece and a tribute to Kramer’s legacy—available only during this landmark year. Don’t miss your chance to own a legend reborn.
