CRAFTER® GUITARS GAE-18CD/N combines two of the best timbers available for acoustic guitars, combining a select cedar top with rosewood back and sides, the guitar delivers a warm bass sound with a clear mids and treble wonderfully enhanced by the way the rosewood is selected and bought together. Like all CRAFTER® guiars, the construction is just absolutely superb with the best LR Baggs® pickup and pre-amp system, equipped with an on-board tuner. It even has both XLR® and regular 6.5mm (¼ Inch) phono jacks making it ideal for studio or live work.
CRAFTER® Grand Auditorium guitars are crafted with both comfort and sound in mind. The sloped shoulder allows for easy finger picking, and full size body delivers the projection you would expect from a dreadnought. Acoustic / Electric Grand Auditoriums have a cutaway body, allowing better access for 12th fret playing and beyond.
Cedar is softer and less dense than spruce, which gives cedar top guitars a warmer sound than other guitars. Cedar is perfect for fingerpicking or playing at quieter volumes.
Rosewood has often been one of the most popular woods for acoustic guitar backs and sides. Responsive lows and crisp highs make rosewood a versatile choice for body wood on acoustic guitars.

The Crafter® Guitar Story
At Crafter® we have been developing our technology since 1972 to advance our manufacturing skill and quality.
Thank you for interest in Crafter® Guitars. My father, HyunKwon Park, founded our company in April 1972. The first guitars were built in the basement of his home where he had just 20 square meters of space and a staff of 4. He soon chose Sungeum as the name for the guitars. In Korean it means 'accomplishing the sound' and is a name which, in the Korean language, captured the spirit, passion and ethos of the company and its products. My father's company enjoyed early success building classical guitars which soon acquired a reputation for excellence among local musicians. By 1978 the Sungeum Guitar Company had outgrown their basement space and moved to bigger premises in Yangju-gun, just outside Seoul, in order to fulfil growing demand for the guitars.
I joined my father in 1986 and the decision was made to take our guitars to the world market. I chose the name Crafter® to represent the brand globally. To me, the name Crafter® has connotations of high quality and also pays tribute to the craftsmen who create the guitars. The Crafter® brand is now registered in more than 40 countries throughout the world.
In 2009, we expanded again and built a bigger, state-of-the art guitar factory, in order to keep pace with demand. The move was the result of 5 years of planning and construction, and features modern facilities including leisure rooms, a spacious restaurant, gym, and a chapel for all the staff. Building in the same area as the previous workshop meant that Crafter® could retain all of their loyal and highly trained staff.
Although today's guitars are produced using all the fantastic benefits of modern technology, a great amount hand craftwork still goes into the making of each instrument. More than 60,000 instruments leave our factory each year, and every single one of them has its own personality, just like the people who build them.
Since the very start in 1972 we have pursued a program of continuous review and development and we are proud that our innovations, quality and value have resulted in the instrument that you have chosen ahead of so many others. Thank you again for choosing Crafter® and we hope that your guitar will give you many years of good service and playing pleasure.
Core Values
We strive to build the guitar of your dreams using the skill and experience we have gained over the past 45 years.
Craftsmanship
I see guitars as the instrument that allows musicians to express their creative ideas and bring great satisfaction and pleasure. This motivates me to build my guitars with the skill and the craftsmanship that we have acquired over the 45 years that we have been making guitars. If I succeed in making the good guitars that our customers enjoy then I consider my task to have been well done.
Timbers
The types of wood and their quality are key to the tone and look of a guitar. Characteristics such as grain and color are basic to the “look” whereas the kind of woods, their grain and their density, are fundamental to tone and volume. There is no "best" wood for your guitar. Choose the combination that produces the tone and look that appeals to your taste. The natural woods that we use have to be conditioned to contain the right amount of moisture and resins. We stack our wood in custom built drying rooms which are both temperature and humidity controlled and the process takes between 2 and 3 years. Once completed, and the tops and backs are book matched, the wood is moved to climate controlled store rooms where the moisture and resin content are kept stable. Good preparation of tone woods takes time and requires sophisticated facilities but if it is not done properly the instrument is at risk of twisting and distorting. When we use solid tops or backs we take care to “book match” the left and right halves. Not only does the symmetry look really good but the left and right halves have the same resonance and this is an important contributor to balanced tone.
Design & Sound
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. Core Values We strive to build the guitar of your dreams using the skill and experience we have gained over the past 45 years.
