This is my Crafter SA Bubinga - Slim Arch semi-hollow guitar. These guitars are similar to the Taylor T5 but about 1/3 of the cost. This particular guitar is one of the premium models as shown by the beautiful Bubinga-wood top. And the're selling new for well over five hundred pounds. It is in a fabulous condition all-round but somewhere along the line I managed to catch the edge of the body (on the lower bout) and chip the lacquer. It works perfectly and sounds as it should but I have included pictures of the blemish and a much smaller ding near the control panel. It has two high quality pickups: a Kent Armstrong lipstick pickup at the neck and an LR Baggs under-saddle piezo pickup. You can get some pretty decent acoustic sounds from the piezo in the semi-hollow guitar and some nice smooth jazzier tones (if you wish) from the lipstick neck pickup. The coolest thing is that you can blend the two pickups in whatever proportions you like for a whole range of tones. Controls are: volume; bass; middle;treble; pickup blender; out of phase and mute buttons. Here's a link to a couple of reviews which will give you a good idea of the range of tones available from the Crafter SA. /watch?v=3Tx_c2E9U9M /watch?v=3APymtLID-0 Here's some info from one of the shops: Crafter SA-BUB The Crafter SA-Bubinga is an archtop semi-acoustic guitar with read more
