Has everything I need and nothing I don't. H/H, nice finish, sweet, warm pickups. Es-335 style as has already been stated. Fixed bridge, stays in tune. 22 frets. A great

Full sound, great for jazz, blues, and bluesy rock. SOLID, thick and rich. People after the tele sparkle probably look elsewhere...this tone is thick and beautiful. Varied, sounds good clean or overdriven, but maintains the full tone throughout.

Yea its solid. Have played many jazz gigs without backup (of course with spare strings) but its tough as. Never had a problem. Feel confident flying it in its factory hardcase without worrying about it or buying a flightcase. Big, heavy, chunky guitar.

I would say this guitar is better than any Epiphone es-335 copies I have played, probably due to the fact that it is handcrafted and built to more exacting standards. For the price there is little better.

common es 335 model, not the gibson log on the neck but stunning build quality! Neck is a wee bit longer which makes somehow for a more robust sound.
Good paintjob, looks better than most gibbies.

Great for Jazz, with a heavier amp good for blues, but can do virtually anything. When I can take only one guitar with me I take this one

Bought it second hand but is was OK.
Setting it up is something I can do myself. The hardware is of very high quality.

Built like a tank. I could club someone to death with it, without worries over the quitar.

Have been a pro for over fifteen years. Owned several Gibsons, a comparable Ibanez, but this was the one I kept. Sounds good, reliable, plays nicely.
Owned lots of amps as well. Main amp now is a Mesa Boogie mark III

Straight of the bat this guitar looks awesome the neck (inlays) the flame top looks far superior to it competitors in the price range. The two humbuckers are fine for rock/blues/and jazz need however lack oomph when it comes to heavier distortion and harmonics, dont let that put you off Ifitted mine with an alround EMG and it made all the difference, but cause it didnt come wit hthe guitar I can only give it eight

Both neck and bridge are very good on clean and overdrive, no noise from switches and the volume and tone controls have a strong effect on your output sound, now with the EMG I cant fault it hear

this guitar looks the part when I purchased it it was well set up action intonation ect however the jack input was loose and needed tightening and I lowered the neck pick up for a better tone (my opinion) other then that it was fine

Ive played 4 gigs with this guitar and it has held up very well through a thrashing, however the 3rd fret has become slightly loose and the high E can get stuck underneath if you bend the string too far on the 3rd or 4th fret. Body and neck wise this thing feels secure.

I asked them for wiring diagrams for adding new pick-ups they were supportful and replied the same day very good service.

This is my main guitar with a new pick up you will never need another one it can cover all types of music. I played a epiphone dot and a dot studio before I bought the crafter, it neck felt more 'playable' and the flame top sold it for me! Give it a try Highly recommended

It's am ES 335. Two Humbuckers, two volume knobs, two tone knobs, six grover tuners, Tune-O-Matic bridge.
Mine is bright red, nerve of the wood shining through though. Set neck.
Construction feels quite solid.

Does either rock of jazz. Usually use the neck pick up, is my favorite sound. Gave up my strat for it, matter of taste. Sold my Gibson ES 125 as well as I stopped playing it when I bought this Crafter.
When played really loud through my Polytone Minibrute IV the sound is incredibly warm and powerfull, makes people listen, even at the notes i play ;)
Can't compare the sound with a Gibson ES 335, never played one, but it certainbly outdid epiphones dot and sheraton I tried in stores.

Bought it second hand from a guy who had it from a pawnshop.
Intonation and some other things were really fucked up (Like one pick up was upside down). Easy enough to fix however.
Plays like a dream now

Sometimes i knock people or things over with it, accidentally, as the guitar is quite large. Does no harm to the guitar.
It feels solid enough and looks like brandnew.

Havent got the foggiest idea.
I found their website, they seem nice people. If i went to korea i'd visit them. Know no dealers of the brand. Don't think I'll ever need them though.

Play the saxophone, classical guitar and electric guitars. Buy and sell gear from time to time, making profits along the way.
Guitarwise my current setup is Crafter SEG 300 into a Hughes and Kettner Tubefactor (The old one with four "Channels" and one button) into my minibrute.
