This is a Crafter SA-ARW, part of Crafter's "Slim Arch" series of hybrid acoustic-electric guitars.
The "ARW" designates the top wood, which is Andes Rosewood. This gives the guitar those striking, highly contrasting vertical stripes in the grain. It is a fantastic, versatile instrument specifically designed to bridge the gap between an electric and an acoustic guitar, very similar in concept to a Taylor T5.
The Body: It features a slim, semi-hollow body design with a solid Andes Rosewood arched top and what Crafter calls "Devil Tree" (an Asian hardwood) for the back and sides.
Soundholes: Instead of a traditional round soundhole or violin f-holes, it uses Crafter's distinctive split "S" soundholes on the upper bout.
The Neck: A mahogany set-neck with a rosewood fingerboard and 21 frets. It has a 25.5-inch scale length and feels much closer to a fast, comfortable electric guitar neck than a traditional acoustic one.
The true magic of this guitar is its dual-pickup system, which allows you to seamlessly mix two completely different tones:
The Electric Pickup: That silver metal tube at the base of the neck is a Kent Armstrong "lipstick" pickup, which provides a warm, clean, and classic electric guitar tone.
The Acoustic Pickup: Hidden underneath the wooden bridge saddle is an L.R. Baggs Element piezo pickup designed to capture the natural acoustic resonance of the hollow body.
The Preamp: The control panel on the top edge features an LR-F Hybrid Preamp. Along with standard EQ sliders, it has a Blend fader that lets you pan anywhere from 100% electric to 100% acoustic, or mix them simultaneously for a massive, layered live sound.
Because these guitars offer high-end, name-brand electronics at a mid-tier price point, they are highly regarded by gigging musicians.
While they originally retailed for around $1,200 with a hard case, they have become somewhat rare to find in the wild. On the used market today, they typically hold a value of $600 to $800 depending on the condition of the electronics.
