Just in time for National Hot Dog Day, Kramer is cooking up something special. The legendary guitar brand has announced the release of the Kramer The 84 Hot Dogger electric guitar, an exclusive model available only at Sweetwater. This vibrant, high-performance solidbody guitar is decked out in a mouth-watering Ketchup Red finish, complete with Dijon-grade yellow bobbins, bringing a controversial yet undeniably bold style to the shred guitar market.
A Shred Machine with All the Fixings
The Kramer The 84 Hot Dogger is a tribute to the classic shred machines of the 1980s. Its core is a lightweight alder body, shaped in the iconic Pacer style, known for its balanced, resonant tone.
The hard maple neck features an easy-to-play K-Speed SlimTaper C profile, and the 12.6-inch-radius fingerboard is built for lightning-fast runs and intricate fretwork. Whether you’re tapping, sweeping, or performing legato runs, this guitar’s design provides a fast and comfortable playing experience.
Sizzling-Hot Tone from the Eruption Pro Humbucker
At the heart of the Hot Dogger’s scorching sound is the Kramer Eruption Pro humbucker. Designed by Gibson USA Luthier Jim DeCola, this pickup delivers searing, high-octane output while maintaining clarity and articulation.
It’s built for aggressive, high-gain performance, offering a rich, brown-sound-inspired character that’s perfect for hard rock and metal. The pickup’s yellow bobbins and a single MXR-style volume knob complete the stripped-down, hot-rodded aesthetic, letting players focus on their performance with a straightforward control layout.
Dive-Bomb with Confidence
No high-performance rock guitar would be complete without a reliable tremolo system.
The Hot Dogger is equipped with a Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo, which allows for extreme pitch pyrotechnics—from subtle vibrato to full-blown dive-bombs and flutters—all without the tuning instability that plagues lesser systems.
This ensures that even the most aggressive playing styles won’t knock the guitar out of tune.
Exclusive Features and Pricing
Priced at $999 MSRP, the Kramer The 84 Hot Dogger includes premium features like an easy-access truss rod for quick adjustments, rock-solid mini die-cast tuners, and an eye-catching banana-style headstock with a mustard-style Kramer logo.
This unique and powerful guitar is a perfect addition for players who want to stand out both visually and sonically. As an exclusive offering, it’s a must-have for collectors and shred enthusiasts alike.
