Kramer's 84 is a reissue of the pointy-era model, complete with the banana headstock.
Watch
Why it matters
Kramer made its name in the 1980s with a small number of shapes, and the 84 is the one that carried the banana headstock. The current reissue keeps the outline while using modern hardware, listing at $899, with an HH version that adds a second pickup. It is a niche shape with a loyal following rather than a general-purpose instrument.
Note
Reissue of the pointy-era classic; banana headstock revival.
Specifications
- Scale length: 647.7 mm (25.5 in)

Before you buy
- The Floyd Rose option changes both the feel and the setup routine
- Pointy shapes and banana headstocks are not to every player's taste ergonomically
- Check whether the version being sold is the standard 84 or the HH
