Crafter GAE 7/N Grand Auditorium Cutaway Acoustic - Natural

The Crafter GAE-7/N Grand Auditorium Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar is a stunning instrument designed for players who demand both rich tonal character and effortless playability. Whether you're an experienced performer or an aspiring guitarist, this beautifully crafted instrument delivers warmth, clarity, and dynamic response in equal measure.

At the core of its sonic excellence is a solid cedar top, a wood prized for its warm, resonant, and mature tonal characteristics. Cedar is known for its responsiveness to even the softest touch, making this guitar a fantastic choice for fingerstyle players while still holding up beautifully under a strong strumming attack. The back and sides are made of mahogany, a tonewood that provides excellent midrange warmth and depth, ensuring a balanced sound with plenty of sustain. Together, these tonewoods create a rich, full-bodied voice that will only improve with age, becoming even more expressive over time.

The Grand Auditorium body shape is a perfect all-rounder, offering a balanced tonal spectrum with well-defined lows, smooth mids, and clear, articulate highs. Whether you're playing intricate fingerpicking patterns, strumming open chords, or blending both styles, the Crafter GAE-7/N responds beautifully. The cutaway design is more than just a sleek aesthetic feature—it allows easy access to the higher frets, perfect for lead work and adventurous chord voicings.

The playability of this guitar is exceptional. A mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard provides a smooth, comfortable feel, allowing your fingers to move effortlessly along the fretboard. The deluxe chrome tuners with an 18:1 gear ratio offer superior tuning stability, ensuring that your guitar stays perfectly in tune whether you're performing on stage or recording in the studio.

For those who need to amplify their sound, the LR-T NX preamp system paired with the renowned L.R. Baggs Element pickup delivers a truly natural, studio-quality tone when plugged in. The onboard LCD tuner is a convenient addition, ensuring you can quickly tune up even in low-light performance settings. Whether you're playing through an amp, PA system, or recording interface, the Crafter GAE-7/N translates its natural acoustic warmth beautifully into an amplified setting.

Finished in a natural gloss, this guitar is as visually striking as it is sonically impressive. The abalone dot inlays and subtle white shell soundhole rosette add a touch of elegance, while the carefully applied gloss finish enhances the natural beauty of the wood while protecting it from wear and tear.

With its impeccable craftsmanship, stunning tone, and reliable electronics, the Crafter GAE-7/N is a true performer’s instrument—perfect for live gigs, studio sessions, or simply enjoying the richness of its sound in the comfort of your home.
