Check out the Crafter MIND G17E FGY N here - emdmusic.com/site/catalog/?id=27161
In this video, Iโm putting the Crafter Mind Series G-17e to the test. Usually, at this price point, you expect major compromises, but what I found was 100% unexpected. This guitar is packed with high-end features that usually cost twice as much: a solid American red cedar top, a built-in armrest for playing comfort, and an incredible "stealth" electronics system that requires zero extra holes cut into the body.
Recorded with a Lewitt LCT 540 S with some added reverb for ambiance and light compression for bringing up to YouTube listening standards... The pickup was processed the same way.
