“Inspired by past success, but built for new frontiers, the Volante is made for players who demand speed, performance, and excellence—and we’re stoked to be part of your journey,” said Lewis McKinney, Brand Manager, Epiphone and Kramer.
Each model features a heat-treated, 3-piece maple neck with a satin finish, compound radius fingerboard, and a five-bolt neck joint for enhanced comfort and stability. All four guitars are equipped with Kramer USA Neptune pickups, while the HSFR and HSGT models add the all-new Triton Noiseless single-coil — handcrafted in the USA by the Gibson Pickup Shop — for expanded tonal clarity and range.
With lightweight alder bodies, fast Elliptical C neck profiles, and a KeyLock system for tuning stability and enhanced sustain, every Volante model is designed for precision performance. A convenient truss rod access and locking hardware ensure reliability, even under heavy playing conditions.
Volante Quilt HSFR
It stands out with an AAAA quilt maple veneer top, Neptune humbucker at the bridge, and Triton Noiseless at the neck. With a volume knob, push/pull tone control for series/parallel switching, and a 3-way selector, this model offers the perfect balance between premium looks and tonal flexibility.
Volante HSGT
This model shares the same pickup setup but adds a smooth 2-point tremolo, Graph Tech® TUSQ® XL nut, and Kramer Locking Die Cast tuners, along with a maple fingerboard and black dot inlays — ideal for players who prefer a lighter, more precise tremolo feel.
Volante HHFR
Tailored for shredders who need tonal variety, this model uses dual Neptune humbuckers with a 5-way switch for seamless transitions between series, parallel, coil-split, and single-coil modes — all with full noise cancellation. A maple fingerboard, Floyd Rose® R3 locking nut, and 1000 Series tremolo keep tuning rock-solid even under aggressive use.
Volante Quilt HHFR
This is a premium version of the HHFR, featuring the same powerful electronics with a stunning AAAA quilt maple top, ebony fingerboard with diamond inlays, and a design refined for both expressive light styles and heavy modern tones. A true standout for players who demand both show-stopping visuals and uncompromising sound.
Four distinct models, each with its own strengths — yet the Kramer Volante always guarantees a uniquely extraordinary playing experience like no other. For local enquiries, keep reading at Australis Music.
