I really hate liquidations lol.

The local shop by me is either moving or closing. And I managed to score a couple Crafter Guitars at a really low price
The Crafter HD-24/NT is solid spruce with a type of African Mahogany for tue back and sides. Almost looks like rosewood
The Lite CD-N is a classical with solid Cedar top and Mahogany back and sides. Its got more of a silk/ natural feel rather than lacquered. And both of these sound better than any guitar I've owned. Really happy with these. The playability is outstanding.

I think they run retail for about $750-$800 for the both. After tax I got them for $444.

As soon as I get a chance I'll upload some audio. I don't have a pc for video until tue end of the month.

Been watching your thread. Looking forward to the demo, cool!

'Bout time we had some Crafter fans here. I have an extra 12 string, Crafter, looks and sounds great, built beautifully.

I talk to the dealer every once in awhile and they like me to spread the word, well I just did. :wink: Congrats on yours! :D

So far I'm a huge fan! LOL. After having only a few days with these things, I can't get enough!

And on a HUGE bright note, my laptop is coming tomorrow, so I can get videos of these things up in the next day or so!! I've already got the video for the acoustic recorded, just have to get the classical!

i love crafter guitars joe - the first guitar i ever bought (not counting the one i was practically given by my brother in law) was a crafter electro acoustic. i ended up having to part exchange it for another electric i needed at the time, but i still miss it!

looking forward to the video

My first guitar was a Crafter. I keep adding to my collection but always go back to it. It just has such a great sound.
