The Kramer NiteV Plus-Charlie Parra honors Peruvian heavy metal hero and rising star Charlie Parra. Parra first got the world’s attention with his sensational You Tube performance of the Peru National Anthem in 2010, which led to multiple You Tube Awards for views and subscribers. His smash solo debut, Procrastinación/Procrastination, also led to stints with Kobra and the Lotus. And he continues to record critically acclaimed albums and EPs with his first trio, Difonía, which has earned Charlie appearances at the world’s biggest heavy metal and hard rock festivals. Now, Kramer’s NiteV-Plus Charlie Parra, designed exclusively with Charlie and Kramer luthiers, offers Kramer fans the same guitar and pro features Charlie uses on stage, including EMG pickups and a Satin Maple Neck with Ebony Fingerboard. The NiteV Plus has a solid Mahogany body with the classic Kramer profile. The Satin Maple neck has a 12” radius, an ultra-smooth Ebony fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets, and the classic Kramer 25.5” scale. On Charlie’s request, the Ebony fingerboard includes Day of the Dead Owl inlays as well as a pro quality bone nut. Tuning the NiteV Plus is smooth and easy thanks to reliable GotohTM tuners. The NiteV Plus comes in a beautiful Candy Red color finish. The NiteV Plus ships with Dunlop 10-46 gauge strings. Kramer’s NiteV Plus Charlie Parra is powered by the legendary combo of EMG “57” and “66” active humbuckers with Alnico V magnets. The EMG 57 bridge pickup is designed with steel pole pieces for that elusive late 50s humbucker tone. And since EMG pickups are active, solos have extra headroom and punch. The EMG 66 neck pickup also features Alnico V magnets but with ceramic pole pieces for better clarity in the upper registers. Both the “57” and “66” have steel caps—an EMG exclusive. The NiteV Plus-Charlie Parra features a recessed Tune-o-matic bridge for tight and reliable intonation and cutting tone. Controls include a classic 3-way toggle and single Volume and Tone pots that control both pickups. Finish: Candy Apple Red.
