Re: Thoughts on this crafter
Is that active electronics? I have Washburn red rocker which is similar concept.
I found a massive difference in output between the under saddle pickup (loud) and the humbucker.
Also if you plan to make any changes you’ll need to keep a battery to earth to, as a wooden bridge doesn’t ground to the strings like a metal one does.

They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

Yep active, 9 volt batt. Doesn't seem to be a lot of info around. Played one today, liked it. Thought 8d do a bit of research first, go back try the double hook up to a valve and solid state simultaneously, and see how that rolls.

Re: Thoughts on this crafter
I want to hate Crafter; so much bling, so little money. But the few I've played weren't half bad for what they were.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: Thoughts on this crafter
Yes it’s the Hagar one. Actually a very cool guitar. My needs some attention as I took out the electronics a few years ago and never replaced them. It was my main guitar for a few years, but I found i never used the acoustic pickup. I’ll have to get it sorted as I often play it without plugging in.foal30 wrote:Is it a Sammy Hagar signature?Delayman wrote:Is that active electronics?

Same here. But their acoustic bass (in my avatar) is the nicest I've ever played, to the extent that I don't have GAS for pricier basses, just curiosity.Slowy wrote:I want to hate Crafter; so much bling, so little money. But the few I've played weren't half bad for what they were.

Plenty of non-bling models available, and the all-solid stuff above $1k is fantastic (just ignore the Dragon inlay).Slowy wrote:I want to hate Crafter; so much bling, so little money. But the few I've played weren't half bad for what they were.

Urgh... yes, those tacky dragon inlays. I don't like their more ornate rosettes, either.robnobcorncob wrote: Plenty of non-bling models available, and the all-solid stuff above $1k is fantastic (just ignore the Dragon inlay).
I wish they'd take a hint from Martin and accept that bling isn't everything. The rest of their concept is great though.

Re: Thoughts on this crafter
I've long wanted something like this, or a Taylor T5 or something. Would be great for my covers band.

Re: Thoughts on this crafter
Actually looking at that it’s probably covering very different ground than something like my washburn. Arch top and neck pickup probably means more jazz than rock?

Re: Thoughts on this crafter
Possibly buying it tomorrow, test driving the stereo set up between amps in the morning
