Crafter Guitars introduced two Twin Bird guitars for this year. Both new solid top cutaway-style acoustic electric guitars offer Crafter's patent-pending T-Brace System. Each guitar features handcrafted wooden bird designs inlaid around the soundhole and fingerboard.
The TB-BUBINGA model features a solid Engelmann Spruce top, Bubinga hardwood back and sides, deluxe chrome tuners with mushroom buttons, a wider than average neck and a satin finish. This guitar has the new LR-S Plus Preamp with LR Baggs 'Element' Pickup. MSRP: $819.
The TB-ROSE model features a solid Engelmann Spruce top, Rosewood back and sides, deluxe chrome tuners with mushroom buttons, a wider than average neck and a gloss finish. This guitar also offers the new LR-S Plus Preamp with LR Baggs 'Element' Pickup. MSRP: $929.
Crafter's patent-pending T-Brace System reduces the overall weight of the guitar, as wood is removed from both sides of the brace. The lighter T-Brace makes the resulting sound louder and better-balanced, while still allowing necessary rigidity to maintain the shape of the top, according to the company. The T-Brace is installed at a right angle to the top for strength, but offers more resonance than the traditional A-brace.
