How did that one get out....?
Lads. Lasses. The sonic cavalry has arrived at Musicmaker in the form of a brand-new herd of Crafter acoustic guitars — and by all accounts, they are absolutely buckin’ brilliant.
We’re talking about acoustic instruments that don’t just sit on a stand looking pretty (though they’re real head-turners, let’s be honest). These Crafter axes are built to be played, loved, gigged, and occasionally wept over when you hit the perfect chord under a fading stage light.
So, why are we shouting from the rooftops about Crafter? And what makes this new batch so special? Pull up a stool, pour yourself a metaphorical pint, and let us lay it out for you.
Crafter Guitars: Built Proper
At Musicmaker, we’ve spent decades watching guitar trends rise, fall, and boomerang back again. Through it all, Crafter has quietly, confidently, and consistently delivered some of the most trustworthy, best-playing acoustics on the market.
These aren’t gimmick guitars. There’s no fluff. No fancy marketing smoke. Just solid tonewoods, reliable builds, comfortable necks, and — crucially — prices that don’t make your wallet burst into song and flee the premises.
In a world of overhyped, overpriced guitars with more gloss than guts, Crafter stays true to what matters: tone, playability, and that hard-to-describe feeling when an acoustic just fits you like your favourite old jacket.
Meet the Crafter Three: New Arrivals at Musicmaker
Let’s get our grubby mitts on the new gear and meet the latest members of the Crafter family now residing (loudly) at Musicmaker.
Crafter HT-200/FS.N Auditorium Acoustic – Natural
Small body, big vibes.
This absolute beauty brings everything we love about the auditorium body: comfort, balance, and a tone as sweet as a sunrise session in a Connemara field. The solid spruce top adds clarity and sparkle, while the mahogany back and sides ground it with warmth and resonance.
It’s the kind of guitar you pick up to noodle for five minutes and find yourself still playing two hours later, humming along, ignoring the calls from your mates asking where you are.
Ideal for fingerpickers, folkies, and songwriters who want a guitar that listens just as much as it sings.
Crafter HT-200CE/FS.VS Electro-Acoustic Dreadnought – Sunburst
The big lad. The stage beast. The sonic brute with a tender side.
This dreadnought cutaway doesn’t mess about. With its vintage sunburst finish, it’s dressed for the spotlight — but it’s the PLT-NV preamp system inside that makes it a serious contender for any gigging guitarist.
Plugged in, the tone is lush, dynamic, and crystal-clear, whether you’re playing delicate folk ballads or bashing out road-tested rock anthems. Unplugged, it growls with that big, bold dreadnought bark we all know and love.
And the cutaway? That's not just for looks. It begs you to hit those high frets and take your solos where the air is thinner.
Crafter NOBLE VTG Electro-Acoustic Cutaway – Flame Maple
If Liberace played folk gigs, this would be his guitar.
The NOBLE VTG is a showstopper. With a flame maple top that shimmers like a firework display, it’s impossible to ignore. But this isn’t all sizzle and no steak — oh no. That flamey top gives a tight, focused tone that cuts through a mix like a blade through butter.
Add the LR-T DX preamp system and you’ve got yourself a high-performance, gig-ready monster that looks like a glam rocker but plays like a precision tool.
Perfect for the performer who wants their sound — and their guitar — to turn heads and take names.
Why Crafter Guitars Belong in Your Hands
Look, there are plenty of acoustic guitars out there. Some cost the same as a used van. Others play like they're made of MDF. Crafter strikes the perfect balance — stunning craftsmanship, rock-solid reliability, and sound that punches well above its price tag.
And because these guitars are coming into Musicmaker, you know they’ve been hand-picked with care, vetted by folks who actually play, and backed by the kind of old-school service that you just don’t get from faceless online mega-stores.
You want a guitar that’ll keep up with your songwriting bursts, survive late-night jams, and shine onstage? Crafter’s got you.
Come In, Plug In, Fall In Love
