A New Era of Tone
There’s something electric in the air at Musicmaker Dublin — and it’s not just from the amps. A brand-new delivery of Crafter acoustic guitars has just arrived, and these beauties are ready to make hearts flutter, fingers tingle, and songs come alive.
For decades, Crafter have been quietly crafting (pun fully intended) some of the most player-friendly, tone-rich guitars on the planet. Their builds balance modern playability with traditional tonewood charm, and their finishes are always just the right side of stunning.
We’ve unpacked a whole shipment — a proper wall of spruce, mahogany, and gloss — but three models in particular have stolen the spotlight. Let’s meet them.
1. Crafter HT-200/FS.VS Auditorium — Vintage Sunburst Magic
The HT-200 is one of those guitars that instantly feels right. The Auditorium body shape gives it perfect balance — compact and comfortable, but still loud enough to fill a room. Its vintage sunburst finish catches the light like old whisky, and the tone is just as warm.
The solid spruce top brings brightness and clarity, while mahogany back and sides add that earthy sweetness every songwriter loves. The neck is slim, the action is smooth, and every open chord sounds like it’s already lived a little life.
Why you’ll love it:
- Classic Auditorium shape — comfort meets projection.
- Solid spruce top + mahogany body = warmth and balance.
- Stunning Vintage Sunburst finish.
- Perfect for strummers, pickers, and home players alike.
This is the guitar that sits by your chair, always in tune, always ready to turn a moment into a song.
Beautiful and affordable - the Crafter HT-200 Auditorium.
2. Crafter HG-200CE/FS.N Grand Auditorium Cutaway — Natural Power
If the HT-200 is a soulful strummer, the HG-200CE is the stage-ready performer. This Grand Auditorium cutaway model offers everything you need to move from the living room to the spotlight.
With a solid Engelmann spruce top for shimmering clarity and rosewood back and sides for depth, it’s a guitar that sings with precision. Plug it in, and the onboard Crafter FS preamp system keeps your tone pure and powerful whether you’re in the pub or the studio.
Why you’ll love it:
- Grand Auditorium Cutaway — power, comfort, and upper-fret access.
- Solid Engelmann spruce top for brilliant tone and sustain.
- Crafter FS Preamp = natural, balanced sound when amplified.
- Sleek Natural finish that shows off the grain beautifully.
If you’re chasing an acoustic that can handle every gig, session, and jam night, the HG-200CE is your reliable partner — beautifully built, easy to play, and full of voice.

Here it is — the don, the one to make even the seasoned players stop mid-strum. The Crafter MINDT-16ePro VTG Orchestra is a masterpiece that blends boutique looks with powerhouse tone.
Its Orchestra body shape offers rich mids and balance across the spectrum — ideal for fingerstyle and expressive playing. The vintage burst finish oozes class, and the detailing throughout is pure luxury.
Under the hood, you’ve got a solid spruce top paired with rosewood back and sides, delivering a lush, articulate tone. Add in the Crafter DS-2 Pro — under-saddle pickup + internal mic with blend control, and you’ve got stage sound that’s crystal-clear and full of warmth.
Why you’ll love it:
- Orchestra body for articulate, balanced sound.
- Solid spruce top + rosewood body for rich tone and projection.
