An Electro-Acoustic Designed for Amplified Playing Without Sacrificing Aesthetics
With its meticulous finishes (white ABS binding, mother-of-pearl inlays, Abalone rosette) and comprehensive built-in electronics, this Crafter fits the spirit of modern guitars designed to easily switch between acoustic playing and amplified use through an amp or PA system. The overall emphasis is on versatility and practicality, while maintaining a strong visual identity thanks to the "Vintage sunburst" and flamed maple top.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
This electro-acoustic guitar is particularly suited for beginner to intermediate guitarists who want a simple solution for playing at home, rehearsals, or on stage without adding an external microphone. It is well suited for pop, folk, chordal accompaniment, as well as arpeggiated parts where definition and clarity are sought. The preamp with tuner facilitates quick setting changes and tuning on stage.
Sound
The combination of a flamed maple top and laminated maple back and sides generally highlights a clear response, with sharp attacks and good note separation, ideal for precise rhythms and rich chords. The African mahogany neck provides a pleasant balance and stable playing feel, while the rosewood fingerboard and bridge add warmth and smoothness in the upper spectrum. When plugged in, the Crafter electronics with 3-band equalizer allow quick adjustment of bass/mid/treble balance depending on the venue, and the phase control helps reduce feedback risks in amplified environments.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve the original feel and balance, prioritize a set of Elixir acoustic strings in .012 - .053 gauge (the same gauge as installed). This is the safest choice to maintain the tension, comfort, and tonal response intended by the setup.
