Many both professionals and amateurs know the brand of guitars, which was called Crafter.
One of the leading companies that manufactures various types of musical instruments is Sung-Eum Music Co Ltd. It is she who owns Crafter. The main company was established in 1972. Its founder was Hyun Won Pak. Before the company got to its feet, it was located in the basement of the entrepreneur.

Information about the company "Crafter"
In April 1972, the founded company, which assembled its first models in the basement, made classic guitars. They were not aimed at a foreign buyer, and therefore were supplied only to the domestic market. After Hen-won decided to expand the company, its main office and conveyor moved to a factory in Seoul, and a little later moved to Yangju (a city in Kenggido), where Crafter guitars began to be assembled.
A little later, having adjusted the affairs of the company, the manufacturer begins to manufacture electro-acoustic and acoustic guitars. But this time they go to international points of sale. At first, the company with great difficulty withstood the rivalry with other larger manufacturers.
In 1986, Hyun Won's son, Jay Park, becomes a manager who oversees where, how, and how Crafter's guitars are made properly, while his father tackled other important issues. Then the international line of the instrument was called "Crafter". According to his son, this name is quite memorable and easier to pronounce. Now this series includes acoustic, electro and semi-acoustic models.

Material
Crafter acoustic guitar , like any other model of this company, is created using several types of wood. As a rule, high-quality but common types are used. But in some models you can see the use of exotic options.
The upper deck is made mainly of spruce. In production, only two variants of this tree are used: North American (Sith) and Colombian spruce (Engelman). Why exactly them? This is easily explained by good sound, high strength and lightness.
The lower deck is made of mahogany (mahogany) and rosewood. As a rule, the latter material is put on more expensive and professional models. This is due to the fact that the rosewood conveys the most sophisticated sound. It is known that the obeychaka of guitars is made of the same material as the lower deck, the instruments of this company are no exception. In the manufacture of the neck, mahogany is used , the lining for it and the bridge are made from rosewood. The Crafter electro-acoustic guitar of the FSG line has reinforced plastic as the dominant material.
