AndyTravis Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 @Maude going to rub one out over that…jeez…that’s so cool. Kimbara? Worth breaking the abstinence! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbara, 70s Matsumoku copy, but a very close copy apart from the lack of through body stringing. The scratchplate is a replacement as the original tort one was gassing off and crumbling, which is a shame. It's still lovely none the less.

oldslapper Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 So, I ordered and paid for a 6 string bass on New Year’s Eve and received it yesterday. So is that just “making it” before the deadline, or epic early fail? If the former, then I’m in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also being a guitarist, the seller hung it on his wall for the last 40 years, occasionally having a plonk on it. Apart from a couple of dings that it had when he got it, it's in amazing condition. A couple of little issues, but age will do that to you. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I've always thought Crafter to be similar to Yamaha, in that at any given price point you seem to get more than your money's worth. I've got an old Crafter bowl back acoustic that I've had four years, it's a great little guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got an old Crafter bowl back acoustic that I've had four years, it's a great little guitar. I've been known to enjoy a Crafter or two... 9 of the 12 Anniversary Edition acoustics. They absolutely punch well above their weight. I have a non-export Korean Dragon (the one with the pick guard below) and it is phenomenal. A far stretch better than a USA Martin Dreadnought I had a while back. Edited January 8, 2022 by binky_bass 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
