Sweetest sounding guitar that I picked up. Tried 8-10 in the same price range and this little beauty won by the length of the straight! (Ibanez AW10 was a distant second)

Like a glove - absolutely perfect straight out of the box. Satin finish is just SEXY! and the headstock looks a million bucks. All class. Looks like it is worth a lot more than it is.

No Opinion
The finish, feel and built are absolute quality. Had this less than 2 weeks (haven't put it down!) so I can't comment on reliabilty/durability.

Haven't had to deal with Crafter directly, but the guys at Drum Power Music Factory, in Bayswater where awesome!

I've picked up the guitar after 10 years of doing nothing so to say I'm a bit rusty is an under-statement! Have been really impressed by the range of guitars that are available at the AUS $300 - $350 mark. I compared the Crafter D6/N with guitars from Washburn, Ibanez, Yamaha, Tanglewood and bottom end Takamine's... I even picked up a Maton ($750) for a laugh and the D6 was a stand out on ever level. If lost or stolen, once I stopped crying, I would buy another one!

Rich big sound, the pick-up is very very detailed and silky sounding, has a good eq and is very nice full, rich sounding guitar.
Very nice tones, i tried it against Takemine, freshman, LAG and yamaha guitars all within the same price range and the CRAFTER was the best value for money and in my opinion had the richest sound.
You on board eq is nice for changing the brightness and the bass of the guitar.

Satin finish, Great quality, nicely set up, excellent wood, No flaws at all.
The guitar was set-up in the shop in Denmark street London.
Perfect.

The build quality is perfect for a workhorse guitar and will take a few knocks, i am going to use it for home studio only and as a song writing guitar.
The satin wood may mark easily and is not as durable as a gloss finish, but this is made up for the ease and playability the satin finish creates with the smooth neck!

Absolutel love this guitar for the price, awesome full rich sound and nice looking. Not as sexy as the cut-away guitars you get for the same price but the tone and sound is a cut-above the rest in the same field.
Awesome value and will sure to be one of the favourites of the future!
