Fully Setup Ready To Play - Comprehensive Luthier Report - Fast Delivery

Here for sale we have a Crafter CTS-150-12/N 12 String Electro-Acoustic guitar in Satin Natural finish. Made in Korea in 2001, this guitar features a bolt-on construction comprising a Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides, Mahogany neck and 21 fret Rosewood fingerboard with matching bridge. An undersaddle piezo pickup is installed, and is wired to a Crafter Timber Plus on-board preamp with controls for volume, 3-band EQ, presence & a mute button. 

 

The Mahogany neck plays very well, with a moderately-sized profile that might be described as a shallow 'D' shape. Certainly, the profile will feel familiar to traditional 12 string players with its rather wide 1.907" nut width. The shallowness of the profile makes the neck feel much easier to play when compared with the usually much thicker profile we find on traditional 12 string instruments. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers and provides a smooth and durable playing surface. The slimline body with single cutaway is nice and comfortable in the arms, perfect for playing in either seated or standing positions. 

 

The acoustic voice of the Crafter CTS-150-12/N is soft and clear owing to its low-profile body design. This adds an authentic acoustic sound to the amplified sound whilst keeping unwanted feedback at bay. When plugging into an amp, the undersaddle piezo pickup delivers an open and clear tone that is well suited to live performance, as well as for use in the studio. The on-board controls allow the player to dial in the perfect sound in both live and recording situations, making this a highly versatile instrument.  

 

Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.
