Take a journey to the dark side with this killer Assault 220 Plus from Kramer. The equipped pair of EMG 81 and 85 active pickups offers face-melting tones.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
EMG 81 and 85 active pickups Aggressive, full tone; great sustain and dynamics
Mahogany body Rich, warm, focused sound; added sustain
Mahogany neck Great sustain, strength, and warm tone
Tune-o-matic string-through bridge Recessed ferrules in body to seat strings in place

Offering an alternative take on the hard-rocking tones and shred-certified performance, Kramer's Assault series takes carved-top single cut styling boldly into territory normally dominated by the offset-double-cutaway crowd. Now Kramer brings the Assault 220 Plus EMG to the range, a guitar loaded with highly desirable features plus a set of upgraded active humbucker pickups for optimum tonal versatility. The Assault 220 Plus EMG is designed with the classic Mahogany tonewood and single cutaway styling but updated with a sharper body horn, a slimmer, more comfortable body with a belly scarf and a glued-in mahogany neck. The Assault 220 Plus comes with the option of a Tune-O-Matic is finished in Gloss Black. Match that to Kramer's new back-angled, 3-3 "Assault" headstock shape and you've got a guitar that cuts a figure like no other axe out there.

- Solid Mahogany body
- Mahogany neck
- Pair of USA EMG 85 and EMG 81 Active humbucker pickups in the neck and bridge
- 24 Frets
- 25.5" scale
- Nashville style string-through Tune-O-Matic bridge
- Locking premium die cast tuners with 14:1 tuning ratio

When I ordered the guitar over the phone they gave me a discount so the price wasn't all that bad. The EMG tax can be a little heavy, but I plan on putting in an EMG 57/66 set for better dynamics so all I have to do is unplug the pickups and plug in the new one :). This guitar is a little heavier than what I normally play, but it's not nearly as heavy as a Les Paul Standard. I love that it's a single cut away, has a set neck and the neck is one of the smoothest necks I've ever played on. It came with 10 through 46 gauge string and I normally play 9 through 42 gauge so I had to adjust the action and sadly the string wrap job on strings was horrible, but zZounds is a very reasonable company and sent me a set strings to replace the ones that broke off. This is a very well rounded guitar, but in my opinion it would suit rock, hard rock, metal and shred guitarists best. I guess you could play it for blues or jazz, but I wouldn't recommend this guitar for country at all. I plan on getting another one of these, but the next one will be a Seymour Duncan model.

Musical Background:

34 years of playing and barely all that decent lol.

Musical Style:

Metal, Hard Rock, Blues and Shred.
