The Baretta featured a Floyd Rose locking tremolo system and one Reverse Zebra Schaller Golden 50 humbucking pick-up. The Baretta was discontinued in 1990 when the company went bankrupt until Gibson bought them in the late 90s. The most notable player of the Kramer Baretta is Van Halen guitarist Eddie Van Halen. the model was originally styled to be Van Halen's signature model, although he never endorsed it on stage. The banana headstock was copied from his "custom shark" Ibanez Destroyer. The single diagonal pickup was taken from his "frankenstrat" guitar and was set diagonal to calibrate for the wider string spacing of the tremolo bridge compared with the narrower pole spacing on the humbucker pickup. A reissue of the Baretta is currently available.

ESP Tom Araya (bass) ESP Tom Araya is an electric bass model distributed by ESP. Araya originally discovered ESP, when his fellow musicians from Slayer, Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King used ESP guitars (Hanneman has his own signature model). He was approached by ESP, who wanted to make him a signature model. Araya said that this was fine as long as the bass he plays is the same a fan would point out at a music store and buy. He also wanted to have the lower end models be just as good as the high end models, because he said that "not all the fans can afford a bass that costs an arm and a leg" He wanted the bass to have a thin neck, like a guitar so it would be easier to play for him rather than having a really fat neck that would require more effort to reach with fingers.
