Compared with the history of world music development, the history of the Kramer guitar brand is short, but it is an entrepreneurial history full of fun and turmoil. Looking back at the history of the Kramer guitar brand, we have to go back to 1970, when Dennis. When Bellory became interested in the new "aluminum neck electric guitar technology", Dennis subsequently founded the Travis Bean Guitar Company.

At that time, Gary. As a representative of the Travis Bean Guitar Company sales company, Crema learned about and accepted Dennis. Bellory's suggestion to continuously improve and develop new aluminum electric guitar neck processes. Dennis. Bellory has always wanted to integrate his craft ideas into the production process of electric guitars. However, due to his lack of process knowledge, he can only provide developers with ideas that remain on the desktop and the production process of traditional electric guitars. In October 1975, Crema resigned from Travis Bean, and he and Dennis. Belori began to cooperate and jointly built their dream of starting a guitar brand.

In the early days of 1976, Peter. Ravka joined Dennis and Crema's R&D team. Ravka's parents worked for the Gibson guitar manufacturing company in their early years. Since then, with the best and perfect R&D team composed of three people, and with the support of many friends, Kramer Guitar Company officially entered the world guitar manufacturing industry in June 1976. In the same year, Kramer Guitar established a complete and smooth production line.

However, the successful cooperation between Dennis, Krima and Ravka only lasted a short time. Because the founders of the company could not agree on the ideas of operation and management, Krima left again. company. Dennis and Ravka finally decided to stick to their original entrepreneurial ideals. Although Krema left the company, Dennis and Ravka did not change the name of the company. The name of Krema Guitar Company has remained since then.

The early Kramer guitars stood out from many brand guitars, mostly due to the advanced manufacturing technology incorporated into Kramer guitars. These unique Kramer guitars combine traditional and modern guitar making techniques. The body itself is made of many unique wood materials, such as walnut, maple, and acacia with knots removed. The processing techniques of these materials are in line with the typical ones of the time. Maple wood raw material processing technology is in sharp contrast. Moreover, tropical woods such as African red bean trees have become raw materials for guitar making. Unlike Travis Bean guitars, Kramer guitars used a manufacturing process with wood embedded in the back of the neck. Both in terms of the weight of the body and the feel of the guitar, it met the requirements of guitar players at the time to the greatest extent.

In the years after Dennis and Ravka began working together, the development of Kramer guitars was very slow. However, in the late 1970s, Kramer improved the guitar's pickup technology, eliminating the three single-coil pickups and replacing them with humbuckers. The tone of these craft-improved Kramer guitars met the tone requirements of rock and heavy metal guitarists at the time. This new metal guitar sound attracted the world-famous rock musician Eddie. Van Halen ears. From 1981 to 1982, Dennis and Ravka worked with Van Halen to develop innovative guitar manufacturing processes, with the goal of producing and developing the master-style Kramer brand of guitars for Van Halen. During their collaboration, Van Halen played an active role in the improvement and development of Kramer guitar craftsmanship. At that time, the guitars used by Van Halen were made from parts selected from various major guitar brands and then reassembled. But after the Kramer Master Memorial piano left the factory, Van Halen said goodbye to the original assembled piano, because the new Kramer Master piano was completely developed and produced in accordance with the standards proposed by Van Halen. This incident directly led to the emergence of the Van Halen master's signature series of Kramer guitars. Kramer - a famous and convincing "Van Halen sound" among players, began to become popular in the 1980s.

In the late 1980s, Kramer gradually abandoned the aluminum neck structure electric guitar it originally developed and began to produce pure wood neck guitar production lines. Such an anti-traditional approach has caused some guitars with low craftsmanship to flow to overseas markets. In the early 1990s, the company's development reached a low point. The Kramer brand, a must-have for guitar musicians, has been stuck in the hands of instrument sellers.

However, in the spring of 1995, Kramer Guitar Company regained its youthful vitality and once again brought high-level traditional production craftsmanship back to the company. In 1996, Kramer Guitar Company was successfully acquired by Gibson Company, which has a history of more than 100 years. Although Krame Company was transferred to Gibson Company, the company has maintained independent production and operation rights, and the Kramer brand name has therefore been retained.
