Crafter VL 27 Jumbo

A Crafter Electro-Acoustic Designed for Fineness and Versatility

With its solid Engelmann spruce top and Indian rosewood, this Crafter clearly adopts a "lutherie" approach: noble woods, refined aesthetics (soundhole and wood inlays), and a focus on dynamic response. The Vintage Voicing System treatment aims to bring a more mature character, with a more natural attack and a "played-in" feel, ideal for guitarists seeking nuance with both pick and fingerstyle.

Who Is It For, and In Which Styles?

This guitar is especially suited for intermediate to advanced guitarists looking for an instrument capable of covering stage, home, and studio use. Its sound balance and dual-source electronics are well suited for fingerstyle, pop, folk, vocal accompaniment, and more airy textures in open tunings. The rosewood armrest enhances comfort during long sessions, a real plus for seated playing and multiple takes.

Sound

The solid Engelmann spruce is prized for its sensitivity: it reacts quickly to light attacks, provides beautiful clarity in the highs, and maintains musical softness when playing with dynamics. Paired with Indian rosewood on the back and sides, it delivers a deeper low end, rich harmonics, and generous sustain, particularly flattering on arpeggios and open chords. The compensated nut contributes to more consistent intonation across the neck. When plugged in, the DS-2 electronics combine the clarity and attack of the under-saddle pickup with the more organic character of the soundhole pickup, allowing for body and realism without losing the definition needed in the mix.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

This guitar comes with Elixir strings in .012 - .053 gauge: to maintain the original feel and sound balance, choose the same .012 - .053 gauge when replacing (acoustic set). The beige MG Line gig bag is included.
