0Crafter Pro Series 2003-2004

... play a Crafter today! The brand name Crafter and the

company's own manufacturing site which is one of the most modern

factories in Asia, are symbols for the successful match of high-tech

production and the traditional craft of guitar-making. Even in 1972,

when HyunKwon Park and his four employees began their conquest of

the Korean market with classical guitars, top quality and excellent value

were two concepts closely connected with his brand name Sungeum.

HyunKwon's son InJae Park, who has been running the company since

1986, has established Crafter as a world-famous brand which matches

these virtues like no other’s. Although today’s guitars are produced using

state-of-the-art industrial engineering, a great amount of craftwork still

goes into the making of each guitar. And while more than 60,000

instruments leave the factory each year, every single one of them has its

own personality.

0Crafter Pro Series 2003-2004

What’s new? In our new production sites, high tech and a

previously unmatched precision have entered the

manufacturing process. We are also setting standards for the

quality of craftsmanship involved in guitar-making in general.

Decades of experience, ideas and suggestions from guitarists

and guitar-makers from all over the world are an integral part

in the development and making of Crafter guitars. Numerous

international patents under-score the innovation and forward-

thinking creativity of our team.

Our ongoing efforts to satisfy the needs of guitar players can

be seen in the creation of new instruments such as the travel

guitar, the integration of countless innovations and refinements

to our current series, and our continuous efforts to optimize

feel, play-ability and string action.

Shaping & Innovation Guitars bearing the Crafter logo have

always been distinguished instruments with their own unique

personality – not only in terms of sound.

Beautiful woods and the great care taken in the production of each

individual instrument ensure that they also look great! Innovations

like the novel bridge design, the newer, finer varnish as well as new

measurements, sizes and shapes not only create a unique look, they

are also a major factor in giving each instrument it’s individual

character.

They are stepping stones in the creation of new instruments – new,

self-confident characters in the family of Crafter guitars.

Craftsmanship & Character Advanced high-tech

machinery is used where top-precision and detailed work is

required or where manual work would be too time-consuming.

But it takes more than machinery to make a guitar.

The virtues of traditional craftsmanship still play a major role in

the making of a Crafter guitar. The large amount of manual

craftsmanship that goes into its making turns every single

Crafter guitar into a truly unique instrument.

Woods & Sound The woods used in the making of an

instrument are not only the basis for its sound and look, they

also provide its soul.

And because the quality of a Crafter guitar is not a matter of

chance, no compromises are made in the choice and treatment

of the instrument’s basic material. From selection to

storage and then to production the greatest care is taken to

ensure that the wood is in perfect condition as it becomes part

of a quality instrument.

At the heart of a great sounding acoustic guitar is carefully

selected wood for the top and for this Crafter use Engelmann

spruce, Sitka spruce, German Alpine spruce or Canadian cedar

to ensure the best possible tone.

Another Crafter innovation is our new bridge pin whichincorporates a raised collar just below the head of thebridge pin. As the pins are inserted they are stopped atthe bridge by the collar so that exactly the same amountof each pin is left exposed. A very "neat" solution and,equally important, a practical one too. The collar stopsthe pin from being forced in to the point where it binds,and just the right amount of pin is left exposed making iteasy to grip. So removing the pin is quick and hassle free. Feel the difference our new CRAFTER pins make.

Using the best woods hasalways been essential tobuilding a great instrument.Woods are crucial to the sound,tonal development, stabilityand, last but not least, the lookof an instrument. That is whythe choice of woods is a toppriority at Crafter. In manyyears of doing business with thebest wood suppliers in theworld, we have made sure toalways have excellent, wellseasoned woods for our guitars.

While analyzing historic steel-

string acoustic guitars, we fell

in love with the slotted peghead

design often used in historic guitars.

Influenced by the design of the

classical guitar, the first steel-string

acoustics were also built with a slotted

peghead. Our TA and TR models represent

the look, design and vintage feel of those guitars.

The T-series instruments are also outstanding

instruments in terms of sound; custom-made for the

ambitious guitarist.

Crafter guitars are as individual and unique as their players. All over the world, every day

guitar players are starting to recognize their individuality - and then the search for their very own guitar

and their individual sound begins. Crafter guitars are the result of that search.

The basis for progress and success in guitar-making lies in listening, learning and understanding. That is

why guitar player's wishes and needs are the starting point for every idea and development that goes into

the making of a Crafter guitar. Hence instruments with the Crafter logo will continue to stand out in the

crowd because of their character, personality and innovative spirit.
