Los Angeles, California (May 27 2025)- Kramer introduces the new Volante series—a line of guitars that draws on the brand’s legacy of innovation and propels it into the future. Designed to meet the highest standards of today’s guitarists, the Volante series embodies speed, performance, and excellence. The Italian word Volante, meaning “flying” or “light,” perfectly captures the spirit of these guitars—crafted for fluid, fast, and technically driven players. With a sleek modern aesthetic and cutting-edge engineering, Volante is set to become the premium choice for contemporary virtuosos.
Available now through authorized Kramer dealers and at www.KramerGuitars.com, the Volante lineup features instruments built with meticulous attention to detail. From lightweight alder bodies to thermally aged three-piece maple necks, every component is engineered for comfort, sustain, and tonal transfer. The new Kramer KeyLock system, developed by senior product engineer Richard Akers, enhances neck stability and, combined with Kramer’s five-bolt neck joint, ensures tonal clarity and durability.
The Volante Quilt HSFR stands out with its stunning AAAA quilted maple top and premium electronics: a Kramer USA Neptune humbucker in the bridge position and a Triton Noiseless single-coil in the neck. With a Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo system and a Floyd Rose R3 nut, tuning stability is rock-solid—even under heavy vibrato use. Its fast-playing Elliptical C neck profile and ebony fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets and a 10–14” compound radius make it a shredder’s dream.
For players seeking a different tremolo feel, the Volante HSGT delivers with a two-point system and a Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut. It features a maple fingerboard with black dot inlays, maintaining a classic look without compromising speed or precision. Outfitted with the same Kramer USA Neptune and Triton Noiseless pickups as the HSFR, this model delivers incredible tonal flexibility for high-performance players.
The Volante HHFR ups the intensity with dual Kramer USA Neptune humbuckers and a five-way blade selector wired for maximum versatility. Whether you need tight rhythm tones, screaming leads, or expressive dynamics, this model delivers across genres with aggressive attitude. The ergonomically sculpted body, ultra-stable KeyLock system, and fast neck make it a powerhouse for modern heavy styles.
Topping the series, the Volante Quilt HHFR merges beauty and brawn. With its AAAA quilted maple top, ebony fingerboard adorned with diamond inlays, and versatile humbucker wiring, it offers a wide tonal palette with noise-free operation. The five-position blade selector lets you explore everything from searing lead tones to subtle textures, while the Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo ensures absolute tuning reliability.
Kramer proves it’s not resting on nostalgia. With the Volante series, the brand reasserts its dedication to the needs of today’s progressive guitarists. “The Volante shows we’re not resting on our laurels,” says Lewis McKinney, Brand Manager for Epiphone and Kramer. “Inspired by past successes, but built for new frontiers, Volante is made for musicians who demand speed, performance, and excellence.” Whether you’re unleashing lightning-fast solos or navigating genre-bending soundscapes, Volante is ready for liftoff.
