Crafter VLD-28CE Pro Dreadnought with Venetian Cutaway

The Crafter VLD‑28CE Pro is a refined, high-performance dreadnought built for the serious guitarist. With a bold voice, stage-ready electronics, and elegant design touches, this instrument offers everything a professional or ambitious player could ask for—on stage, in the studio, or at home.

At the heart of this guitar is a solid Sitka spruce top, known for its dynamic projection and crisp articulation. It’s matched with Indian rosewood back and sides, providing warm lows, detailed highs, and a rich midrange that gives the guitar a full, nuanced voice. Whether you're strumming with power or fingerpicking delicate melodies, this tonewood pairing delivers consistently across styles.

The mahogany neck is shaped with a comfortable modern C-profile, topped with a rosewood fingerboard that provides excellent feel and sustain. Thanks to its Venetian cutaway, the VLD‑28CE Pro offers unhindered access to the upper frets, making it ideal for soloing and melodic phrasing in any register. With 24 extra-jumbo frets, there's plenty of room to explore complex chords or expressive bends.

Amplification is handled by an LR Baggs 3T system—an industry-trusted preamp and pickup combo that delivers a natural, balanced tone through any PA or studio interface. With a built-in tuner, three-band EQ, phase control, and a bypass switch, players have precise control over their live or recorded sound.

Visually, the VLD‑28CE Pro is all class. Its gloss-finished top deepens beautifully over time, while the satin back and sides keep things understated and comfortable. Cream binding adds definition to the body shape, and gold die-cast tuners round out the hardware with a subtle touch of polish.

This is a guitar that means business: bold in tone, balanced in design, and ready for the demands of a working musician.

At Musicmaker, we recognise the VLD‑28CE Pro as a full-featured performance instrument, perfect for stage, studio, and crafting your sound with clarity and character.
