1985 Vintage Kramer Baretta Aged White Neptune NJ USA 1980s Floyd Rose

Up for sale is a vintage 1985 Kramer USA Baretta in a stunning aged Olympic White (or possibly Vintage White ) finish, built in Neptune, New Jersey . This legendary shredder is a perfect example of Kramer's golden era — a sleek, no-nonsense rock machine with iconic 1980s flair. With its pointy headstock , Floyd Rose trem , and single bridge humbucker , this Baretta screams classic tone and style.

This one carries serial E3558 , placing it in the 1985-1986 range — part of the post-1984 transition when Kramer was dialing in the now-classic formula for high-performance guitars. While most Barettas came with a single volume knob, this one has two knobs and a mini toggle switch , suggesting either a rare sub-variant or a modification . Whatever the case, it works and rips.
