Nashville based EMD Music, Inc. has been appointed the exclusive distributor in the USA for Crafter Guitars. Crafter, based in Korea has been a manufacturer of Acoustic Guitars since 1972, and has an excellent reputation worldwide for producing a quality product at competitive price points.
EMD National Sales Manager Tony Graham “We have been looking for a high quality acoustic guitar line for a while that will complement our current portfolio of brands. With price points in the sweet spot $200-$700 range, we now have a mainstream guitar line that fills that void. All of the EMD team are excited to add Crafter to our product line”
Crafter Team Leader, John Park “We have not been active in the US market in the last few years while focusing on other markets, and are very pleased to be partnering with the EMD Team. Together with them, we will bring Crafter back to the US by reintroducing instruments that contain Korean quality, 50 years know-how, and understanding of acoustic structure.”
EMD expects to be shipping Crafter orders by the end of Q2
