“We leveled-up with our Kramer re-birth and new focus, giving hard rock and heavy metal shredders what they wanted,” Gibson CMO Cesar Gueikian said.
“This is just the beginning for Kramer, we have big plans for the brand’s future, starting with these exciting collections and collaborations plus a few more we will be announcing throughout 2021.”
