Crafter 50th G-CE VVS – High-End Electro-Acoustic, Torrefied Spruce/Rosewood, LR Baggs Anthem (27130)

A high-end electro-acoustic built to celebrate Crafter’s heritage. This 50th Anniversary Grand Auditorium cutaway pairs a solid torrefied VVS spruce top with solid rosewood back and sides (three-piece rosewood & bubinga back) for rich overtones, fast response, and a wide dynamic range. Plug in and go with the LR Baggs Anthem—controls are neatly set into the rosette for volume, phase, and mic/piezo blend, giving a natural, mic-like sound on stage or in the studio. Vintage-style details include a traditional headstock, open-gear tuners, maple dot inlays, and a hand-written “1972” motif honouring founder Mr Park Sr. Finished with Tusq nut & saddle, ABS vintage-ivory binding, and a gloss body / satin neck feel.
