上个世纪七十年代,一位名叫Dennis Berardi才华横溢的乐器零售商兼鼓手,经营着自己的乐器店。根据自己销售Travis Bean吉他的经验,偶然产生用铝来做吉他材料的念头。此时,Gary Kramer在Travis Bean吉他公司做销售代表。几经讨论,Travis Bean吉他采取了许多Berardi的概念。Dennis开始说服Gary离开Travis Bean吉他,自己制造更精致的产品。这些吉他开始有着很多Travis Bean吉他的特点,特别是它的铝制琴颈。铝颈的初衷是想在保留其传统风格的前提下,生产出更有价格优势的吉他。
1975年10月,Gary正式离开Travis Bean吉他公司,和Dennis一起开始自己的事业。1976年初,Peter Laplaca加入了Kramer吉他,Laplaca曾是Norlin的副总裁。(Norlin公司当时是Gibson吉他工厂的总公司)。由于有了这两大投资者,加上Henry Vacarro Sr. 这个大商户, Kramer终于成了一家吉他生产厂。它的总公司是在新泽西的BKL国际销售公司。公司于1976年6月正式成立, 第一批吉他于1976年11月面世。
据说Eddie Van Halen是在1981年末或是在1982年初加入Kramer的。正在Rockinger tremolos (摇滚颤音演奏法) 开始风行的时候。 在1982年6月的目录里曾说过,摇滚颤音演奏法就是“Edward Van Halen Tremolo”。为此演奏法设计的特殊结构,是Kramer的首创。Paul Dean (1987年首次面世), Bon Jovi乐队的Richie Sambora,和Vivian Campbell的 “夜天鹅” ,这些E.E.系列型号是由摇滚乐队”The Cars” 的吉他手Elliot Easton 设计的一组吉他。
1996年,GIBSON乐器公司兼并了Kramer并使其魅力重现。重新推出诸如Baretta, Pacer, Striker和Focus这些一流的款式。2002年, Kramer又重新推出了著名的“Kramer 1984” - Eddie Van Halen曾经使用过的Kramer的复制品。
