Members Bad Robot Posted December 16, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 16, 2012 Thanks, already checked that out. What I just discovered is the xlr input on the bottom. Makes it look kinda like a Borg guitar. Hmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Terry Allan Hall Posted December 16, 2012 Members Share Posted December 16, 2012 Never played one, but have read quite a few VERY positive reviews. Have you seen this? http://www.acguitar.com/video/playvi.../Crafter_AG192 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bad Robot Posted December 16, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 16, 2012 Thanks for your replies. I think this is pretty much a stage guitar, with accoutrements that I don't want.This kinda turns me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an electro-acoustic with the bonus of a XLR output option in addition to the traditional jacksocket. It also has the bonuses of L R Baggs electronics, solid englemann spruce top, 45mm neck and a great looking slotted headstock. And all for a hard-to-beat price.But I suppose you could always buy a Zager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kwakatak Posted December 17, 2012 Members Share Posted December 17, 2012 Save the sales pitch. He doesn't like the barn door. Many of us don't and it's a deal-breaker because acoustic electrics are often overbuilt and as such don't resonate as much as straight-acoustics often do. Do they have a straight-acoustic version with solid back & sides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am generally not one to pay for something I don't need. But, if I do buy a Pac-Rim acoustic, Crafter and Blueridge are at the top of my list. Better I just tuck that dinerii aside for the custom (non-Pac-Rim) 12'er I am expecting in the spring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I defy anyone to discern a difference between the acoustic and electro-acoustic version of the same guitar model. And how do you mean by "overbuilt"?If the OP doesn't want an electro-acoustic he could try the TM-035 instead of the TMC-035http://www.crafterguitars.com/galler...c/tm_035_n.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not worth arguing about.

Too bad he doesn't have access to it. He really should form his own opinion by trying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you know, I don't have an acoustic-electric, but I probably wouldn't have minded had the input been a little more discrete. I would've thought it just part of the package, and the guitar is reasonably priced, but that just looks 'wrong' to me. If the jack were just in through the strap pin, I would've been able to live with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you want something discrete you might be better buying a straight acoustic and fitting a PU yourself - something like the K & K (or similar) is an easy fix and works OK.

That will likely be what I'll do. It is simply a question of need. Should I start gigging again, and I am looking for local musicians as of today, then I'll have one installed in one of my guitars.
