My Crafter Moon Light
This acoustic was a gift from my girlfriend for my last birthday. It's by far the best gift I've ever received. I'm not sure if anyone has heard of, or knows much about Crafter, but let me say, they make one FINE instrument.
This one is the Moon Light Rose, and was made as a special model for the 30th Anniversary of Crafter. As you can see in the pictures, this is an absolute beauty of a guitar. And I must say, it sounds just as nice as it looks! I actually played this guitar a while before I received it (I guess I talked about it way too much...) in a local music shop, and was blown away. That same visit I played some high-end Takamines and Martins. I would say the craftsmanship and sound of this Crafter is on par with both of them brands who are known for their great acoustics. It has that beautiful warm sound to it that only a good solid-top acoustic has. The most amazing thing about the Crafters is their price. This model sells for around $600, but I would say it EASILY compares with Martin guitars costing over $1500. Most of the time I play this guitar unplugged, but plugged in it is equally as impressive. The L.R. Baggs pickup is PHENOMINAL. I never thought an acoustic could sound so good plugged in, and I've only ever tried it through the Boutique Clean channel of my Vox. I could only imagine the sound plugged into a good acoustic amp...

That sure has a lot of fancy detailwork on it
LR Baggs does make really nice pickups for acoustics.
i know i've played a crafter, funky soundholes on that modell i remember...but i can't for my life remember how it was. gonna have to keep my eyes open for another one to give it a whirl.....not that i'm in the search for a new acoustic but you never know when GAS hits lol
Custom Deluxe
Very good looking guitar Leonidas. L.R. Baggs pickups really sound good. Definately not the average nasal piezo sound.
I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009
