Crafter MINDT-16ePro VTG Orchestra Acoustic - Vintage Burst
If you’re after rich acoustic tone with a vintage soul and modern performance under the hood, the Crafter MIND-T16e Pro VTG hits the sweet spot. With its orchestra-sized body, solid spruce top, and DS-2 Pro electronics, this guitar is a serious all-rounder — equally at home in the hands of a fingerstylist, singer-songwriter, or live performer needing both clarity and character.
Up top, you’ve got a solid Engelmann spruce soundboard — full of warmth, sensitivity, and shimmer. It reacts beautifully to lighter touches and still holds up when strummed with intent. The layered mahogany back and sides support that top-end sparkle with a round, woody low-end and a focused midrange that never gets muddy. This tonewood combo is a classic for good reason — balanced, versatile, and always musical.
The orchestra body shape is compact enough for comfort but still offers surprising projection and depth. It’s a dream for dynamic players who want nuance and volume without dragging around a dreadnought.
Plugged in, the Crafter DS-2 Pro system shines. You get an under-saddle piezo and an internal microphone, with blend control and EQ shaping — giving you the tools to sculpt a natural acoustic sound for stage or studio. Whether you're DI'ing into a desk or pushing through an acoustic amp, it handles the job with warmth and presence.
Looks-wise, it’s dripping in vintage style. The satin-finished Vintage Burst top gives it that old-soul vibe, framed by herringbone soundhole inlay, simple binding, and Grover-style vintage tuners. The whole aesthetic feels classic without looking stuck in time — just a guitar that means business, and looks like it’s been gigging for decades.
Here at Musicmaker, we’re big fans of Crafter’s ability to offer high-end feel and tonal maturity at prices that don’t leave your wallet in tears. The MIND-T16e Pro is exactly that — a player’s guitar, built for real use.
