Kramer first released wooden-necked guitars in late 1981,
following Charvel's lead on producing instruments
that essentially copied the Stratocaster headstock shape from Fender,
in violation of Fender's US trademark and design patent.
After only a thousand or so instruments were built, in May 1981,
Kramer received a cease and desist order from Fender to halt the production of Strat-head guitars.
[citation needed] Instead, Kramer opted for a "beak" headstock reminiscent of 1960s Kent guitar headstocks.
The earliest beak guitars were in fact Strat-heads with a lobbed off headstock;
these can be identified by prominent sanding marks on the curve of the headstock.
Later, and most common beak guitars, were manufactured with a beak headstock from the factory.
Wooden-necked instruments represented Kramer's first foray
into offshoring the production of guitar components to Eastern Asia.
Tuning keys and vintage fulcrum tremolos were made by Gotoh in Japan,
while the necks were made by Japan's ESP Guitars and shipped to New Jersey for fretting and finishing.
Kramer executives saw that the guitar techniques of the early 1980s
demanded a high-performance tremolo system.
Kramer partnered with a German inventor named Helmut Rockinger,
and installed his bulky tremolos, precursors to Floyd Rose systems, on its instruments.
A chance encounter between Dennis Berardi and Eddie Van Halen's managers
on an airplane flight set the foundation for Kramer's meteoric rise in the 1980s.
Eddie was interested in a tremolo that stayed in tune, which the Rockinger system offered.
A meeting between Eddie Van Halen and Kramer execs took place, and Eddie was sold.
At the meeting, he reportedly quipped that he would help make Kramer the "#1 guitar company in the world."
By 1983 the Rockinger tremolo (sometimes dubbed "The Eddie Van Halen tremolo")
had been widely replaced by the Floyd Rose system.
In addition, Kramer once again offered Schaller tuners on their guitars,
tapping Schaller to produce Floyd Rose tremolos as well.
Kramer was the only guitar company offering Original Floyd Rose tremolos stock on their production guitars,
a competitive advantage of Kramer over other guitar manufacturers of the period.
In late 1983 Kramer switched from the "beak" headstock design
to the Gibson Explorer-like "banana" headstock design.
This distinctive look also helped rank Kramer highly with guitar enthusiasts.
One notable Kramer guitar was the Baretta model,
which was a single-humbucker instrument similar to guitars Eddie Van Halen used on stage.
The Kramer Baretta was the flagship of the Kramer line
and helped popularize the single-pickup 1980s superstrat guitar design.
