Crafter GAE15/N Electro-Acoustic Steel-String Guitar (natural)
Product no: V-GAE15/N Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The GAE15 by Crafter is a steel-string acoustic guitar with a built-in pickup and can be used unplugged or amplified. Do away with separate microphones and simply hook it up to your PC for home recordings or bring it to the stage or studio. The GAE15 has a solid cedar top for a delightfully deep and warm sound with modest highs. There's a cutaway in the body for easy access to the highest frets.

Crafter GAE15: Solid Top Construction

The top of this steel-string guitar is made of solid cedar. Solid means it's made of a single piece of wood, which is beneficial for optimal sound transfer from the strings and bridge, and gives the guitar more volume and a richer sound. The GAE 15N's resonance box is a Grand Auditorium size and has a smaller waist compared to Dreadnought models. This gives the guitar a tighter tone with a sharp touch that blends beautifully with the dark, cedar sound.

High Quality Piëzo Pickup by L.R. Baggs

A high quality L.R. Baggs Piëzo pickup has been fitted in the bridge so you can connect the guitar to an amp or directly to a mixer. The LR-T PRO preamp has a 3-band EQ and a Scoop to filter the mid-range frequencies down to -6dB. The phase control can be used to prevent feedback on stage but also comes in handy when you're using a microphone at the same time as the guitar. Lastly, the Crafter GAE15 N features a built-in tuner and an easily accessible battery compartment.
