Crafter SA-ARW 2010s - Gloss

Crafter SA-ARW in excellent condition. Made in South Korea, Crafter guitars are exceptionally fine instruments. They are mainly retailed in Asia and Europe but not in the USA. This model was designed to compete with the Taylor T-5 and the T-5z. It features high end electronics. The neck pickup is Kent Armstrong lipstick single coil. The bridge is outfitted with an LR Baggs Element piezo pickup. The onboard preamp is also LR Baggs and permits you to isolate each pickup or blend them as you wish. The bound Andean Rosewood top is beautuful and rare. The Mother of Pearl inlays are impressive. The bound fretboard and bound soundholes are smartly done, and they speak to the quality of the build. The neck is straight and the string action is very low making it an easy and pleasureable player. There is no fret wear. The guitar stays in tune longer than most. This tuning stability also speaks to the build quality. The scale is 25.5"

There is some faint pick swirl just below the treble Estring. There is a single B-B size ding in the backside center of the headstock finish. If you look closely, you may find another very light scratch here or there. I believe all light scratches will buff right out. This guitar super nice.

I'm a Guitar Tech and performing guitarist. I have setup just about every brand of guitar. I love fine guitars, especially the ones that are affordable. Unfortunately, I can't keep them all. A nice Fender gigbag is included.
