With the Kramer SM-1 EMG Black, the legendary guitar forge once again proves that it knows how to build unadulterated shredding axes.

Two active EMG SA single coils and a split EMG 81TW humbucker provide the appropriate, extremely hot rock sound. Last but not least, Kramer's SM-1 electric guitar features a Floyd Rose FRT-1000 tremolo for uninhibited whammy bar action.

In addition, active EMG SA pickups in the neck and middle positions deliver extremely transparent sounds with bell-like sound development.
As an unadulterated shredder guitar, the Kramer guitar also features the proven Floyd Rose FRT-1000 tremolo, which, thanks to its
