The guitar sounds great! Crystal clear sound with very good mids when played without an amp. The neck comes fairly good adjusted out of the factory, without any rattling strings.

The L.R.Braggs preamp faithfully reproduces the guitar's electro-acoustic tone. I only played it with an Orange Rockerverb stack, not with a real acoustic amp... but I liked it! The sound with the Orange amp was pretty good.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it for nearly one year. I bought it to replace a Takamine in the same price range... but there's simply no comparison!! In my opinion, Takamine guitars are only worth it if you buy a top-of-the-range model. You can forget Fender or Takamine guitars in this price range, Crafter guitars offer a much better value for money.

I believe this brand is very hip in the U.K.!

If my budget had been a bit more generous, I would have bought a Taylor. But this guitar is a really sound choice. You can buy it with you eyes closed! You won't regret it.
