Crafter RX-700 Cruiser

Bought in 2003 I think, 22 frets, laminated top, volume, tone and 3 way selector for H/H pickup configuration, crafters own passive stock pickups, BC Rich style body, tune-o-matic style bridge, jumbo frets on rosewood fretboard. It included a free, shaped to fit gig bag. Quite a bit for the money.

Good for anything really, stock pickups aren't fantastic, not too bassy or trebbley though. They don't make any unwanted noises or anything which is a plus. A little hard to get proper pinches.

Finish was a nice sparkly black, looks fairly cool, better than in blue or white, pickups were in the right positions, not too high. The initial action was far too high but it just took a screwdriver to fix that. Neck is perfectly straight, no frett buzz etc. Sustain leaves a little to be desired.

Perfectly reliable for gigging, I just prefer a floyd, have dropped the guitar many a time including a big drop onto my friends concrete garage floor, it took out some of the corners but it still plays all the same, strap buttons seem solid enough.

Never dealt with them.

Been playing about two to two and a half years now, i dont really ever play the thing any more, its a good guitar for the money, i just prefer my Ibanez S-370, made quite a few modifications to that and it plays like a dream now. The main problem with the Cruiser is the body shape, it digs into the ribs after a while and really starts to piss you off. My ibanez is just generally better. I wouldn't buy another if lost or stolen, id save the money for another guitar. Hope this helps.

6-string. Tone and Volume Knob. 22 Frets. Came with a soft case, few picks, , a bad strap (which i soon replaced) and a marshall amp for #200 from eBay (user called Guitar peddler). This was my first guitar so sorry for not having loads of info. Fixed bridge, no locking nuts (which i prefer as i'm always changing the tuning for different songs).

It sounds really nice considering the price. With it set to clean it gives a bright tone without being too harsh. I rarely use it through the marshall amp as its tiny, in stead i use my home hifi (marantz amp and jamo speakers). Sounds much better with the effects pedel i'm using (Boss GT-8). For the price i think its amazing, easy to get harmonics out of it too. I generally play, Korn, SOAD, Metallica, and some lighter stuff like RHCP.

It arrived perfectly tuned. Everything was fine apart from the socket where you plug in the lead kept loosening its self which was really annoying, but now thats fixed.

Dropped it many times and it only has small nicks in the finish. Even though its a budget guitar i will certainly be keeping it when i get my new Ibanez, 7-string rg prestige :)

never had any problems buying it.

Great guitar for the price range. Not sure if i like the shape of it as much as i did when i first bought it though. If i've missed anything let me know.
