I had a T5 and sold it. This guitar is much better sounding. I dropped in a SM Duncan pickup and the tone is greatly improved. It has a full, fat tone but still warm. The acoustic tone is still very nice. This is an excellent gig guitar and it doesn’t cost very much.

Thanks for the excellent review. Nice to know it’s described in the same breath as the Taylor T5.

p.s. Thomann says the back and sides are pine.

I own this model and found this review fair and accurate. Played a Taylor T5 and preferred the Crafter SA because it’s a fraction of the price and because the electronics, in my opinion are better plus the side location and layout is more user friendly.
These guitars are good investments and well suited for amateur and professional.

Thanks for the review.

I got my 12 year old a very nice Crafter and he had less than one year of lessons under his belt.It cost me a great deal of money but… it was so worth it. What nice guitars this company has to offer! Definate thumbs up!

They are really cool and this model is especially nice looking, but in terms of volume control, it really is all in the hands. To a degree you can really create just about any tone or presence with the way you play. This was very informative and I thank you kindly for this.
