The Kramer Assault
Maximum Shred
As mean as the Pariah gets when it's locked and loaded, the formula begins with classic ingredients that are capable of producing sweet, resonant tones right from the ground up. The guitar's solid alder body exudes the firm lows, balanced mids, and silky highs that this legendary tonewood is known for, while a bolt-on maple neck and rosewood fingerboard combine for a sharp attack with enhanced warmth and richness. Slam it all together to the Pariah's longer 25-1/2" scale length too, and you're talking maximum ring and resonance from a guitar that's ready for action right out of the box.
Through-body stringing and a hard-tail bridge with fully adjustable independent saddles just seals the deal, providing outstanding strings-to-body coupling and unparalleled sustain. But what happens when you ram all that sweet, rich resonance through a pair of genuine Alnico V humbucking pickups? You've got it: a scorching, singing rock monster like few other guitars out there. From crystalline jangle and chime through a clean amp, to gut-wrenching thump through a crunch setting, to eviscerating lead through a high-gain channel or distortion pedal, the Pariah does all the tricks you need to set the stage on fire. And it looks good while doing them, too, thanks to its two unique hand-sprayed, hand-buffed finishes: Candy Red finish with black flames or Pewter finish with gray flames.
Check out the Pariah now at your authorized Kramer dealer, and watch the faint of heart head for the hills.
Body and Finish
The body of the Pariah is made from solid alder, a tonewood known for its firm lows, balanced midrange, and sweet highs. It is designed in deep double-cutaway with "axe-blade" horns and beveled edges, and comes in your choice of hand-buffed Candy Red finish with black flames or Pewter finish with gray flames.

Neck, Headstock and Fingerboard
The Pariah has a bolt-on maple neck with 24-fret fingerboard made from select rosewood, with thorn inlays. It is made to the 25-1/2" scale length that many shredders prefer, with 1.68" nut width and 12" fingerboard radius, and carries Kramer's stylish new 3-3 headstock which is back-angled for superior resonance and sustain.

Pickups and Electronics
The Pariah carries two humbucking pickups with genuine Alnico V magnets. These are routed through a master Volume control and master Tone control with a three-way selector switch. The Volume pot hides a "treble-bleed" mod to retain highs as you wind down the control, and the Tone control has a push/pull switch to split the humbuckers' coils for single-coil sounds.

Hardware
The Pariah is equipped with high-quality enclosed tuners and non-slip strap buttons, gnurled control knobs, and a hard-tail bridge with through-body stringing. The bridge features six independent saddles for full intonation and height adjustment, making it easy to achieve a perfect set-up. All hardware is plated in black nickel.
