Crafter DE7 Satin Natural 2001 Electro-Acoustic  



Here for sale we have a Crafter DE7 Electro-Acoustic guitar in Satin Natural finish. Made in Korea in 2001 this guitar features a Cedar top, Mahogany back and sides, Mahogany set-neck and 20 fret Rosewood fingerboard, as well as a Rosewood bridge. This guitar is fitted with a set of Crafter sealed tuning machines and a CR-T TV preamp.


The Mahogany neck sits very comfortably in the hand, with a profile that feels rather slim and provides a nicely flattened area to the centre for the thumb to rest whilst the Satin finish to the rear offers smooth and precise navigation of the entire register of the instrument. The Rosewood fingerboard feels very luxurious to the touch, and with the 16" radius feeling as flat and consistent as ever, fretting is a breezy and sumptuous affair in any register. The single cutaway body design feels great in both seated and standing positions, and provides unobstructed access to the higher register. 


The voice of this instrument is rich and defined, with a bright and saturated low end, focussed midrange and melodic high frequencies. The Solid Cedar top and Mahogany back and sides provide a wide dynamic range that feels sensitive to the player's touch. Playing gently will give you the warm mellow tones needed for those quiet moments, whereas putting some snap and power behind your right hand rewards you with the powerful booming tones this guitar is capable of. The CR-T TV preamp captures the natural voice of the instrument, whilst providing the user to sculpt their desired sound all from the instrument. Overall an excellent guitar, great for all sorts of genres but particularly excelling in singer-songwriter rhythm styles

Luthier Report


Our ID: 10101247610

Weight: 5.25lbs

Serial Number: 01094590


Aesthetic Condition:

Headstock: Overall very good condition, the top edge demonstrates light indentation and paint transfer. Any other markings to the headstock are difficult to discern against the natural finish. 

Neck: Overall excellent condition, any markings to the neck and fingerboard are difficult to distinguish against the natural grain.

Body: Overall very good condition, the front face demonstrates moderate indentation in multiple places. This cracks the finish but will not worsen through regular use. The most notable markings are to the centre of the lower bout and the bass side waist. There is some scratching consistent with the use of a plectrum surrounding the soundhole. 


Condition of Frets:

The frets demonstrate light signs of use, not affecting playability. There is considerable material remaining for any future work the new owner may wish to perform. 


Current Set Up:

Truss Rod: Fully functional. Truss rod adjustment tool (3/16" hex) not included.

Hardware: Fully functional with light signs of wear.

Structural: No concerns or issues to note.
