A Crafter Electro-Acoustic Designed for Modern Playing

This guitar embodies the Crafter spirit: meticulous craftsmanship, carefully selected woods, and a clearly versatile approach. The combination of a solid top and comprehensive electronics allows easy transition from pure acoustic playing to amplified situations, with a natural aesthetic and high-quality finishes.

Who Is It For, and Which Styles?

Thanks to its comfortable nut width and balanced response, it is well suited for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a reliable electro-acoustic for home, studio, or stage. It excels in pop, folk, variety, vocal accompaniment, yet remains comfortable for arpeggios and fingerstyle playing when exploiting the finesse of Engelmann spruce.

Sound Characteristics

The solid Engelmann spruce top delivers a softer, nuanced attack with excellent sensitivity to touch variations, ideal for expressive and detailed passages. The rosewood back and sides enrich the spectrum: broader lows, slightly scooped mids, and bright highs, giving a sense of width and depth with generous sustain.

When plugged in, the combination of the soundhole microphone and under-saddle pickup allows blending definition and presence: the pickup emphasizes precision and clarity, while the microphone adds air and a more "acoustic" feel. The tuner integrated into the soundhole enhances practicality both daily and on stage.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original feel and balance, choose a set of Phosphor Bronze acoustic strings, gauge .012 - .053, such as the Elixir Nanoweb Phosphor Bronze .012 - .053 factory-installed strings. A microfiber cloth is also recommended to preserve the glossy finish after each session.
