Good Points: Beautiful looking and has excellent sound for its price point - i's not as good as my Taylor 814CE, but then it didn't cost $2000 either! This guitar is very, very nice, and is way nicer than most of the "big names" in the same price point - makes me wonder why Crafter is not making this model any longer. MUCH more than I would have expected from a Korean made guitar.

Bad Points: I may have erred in stringing it with .10's - had to have the nut raised because the low E string was buzzing horribly. I think .11's would be better.

General comments: I actually bought this guitar used with the idea of selling it at a small profit to make a little money, but it is a great value for the dollar so unless things get really tight financially I am going to keep it. I am really enjoying having a second acoustic and this is a great mid-price guitar...one that even an experienced player wouldn't "outgrow" - e real looker too...beautiful woods and very good sound. Sounds great plugged in through my Marshall acoustic amp as well, although I am getting some low level feedback from the A string...I may try damping the sound hole for amplified playing.
