Was with my youngest son trying out guitars, he bought his first and it was a Kramer Baretta. Was really surprised how good this thing played and sounded at that price, having owned a Stryker in the 90's I was not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. Thin neck with the typical basswood body used in recent times and single humbucker in the bridge being the only pickup it leaves a lot of options for mods and upgrades, the tuners were better than expected and stays relatively in tune after dive bombing the trem. Even though it does not come with a gig bag which would have shite anyways I don't think you could get a better deal for less than $300. Wish I had this option when I was learning in the 60's 😅🤘
