... 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.

Diversity & Versatility Their great variety of shapes,
versatility in sound and high quality of craftsmanship make
Crafter guitars internationally renowned instruments.
Live or in the studio, acoustic or amplified, folk, country,
blue grass, jazz or blues-Crafter offers a guitar for all to
cover any style.
A Crafter guitar is often the realization of a long held dream.
Play your dream – Play a Crafter!

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.
