We have a lovely new arrival in the guitar department in the shape of a new Crafter Guitars UK model, the Lite Cast. Smaller than a full size guitar yet not quite in the travel or 3/4 category, the 23" scale pulls off a rare trick of being ideal for small hands yet not cramped or uncomfortable for adults , so it's a great guitar for teenagers who find full size guitars a bit of a handful but don't want to waste money on something that they will grow out of - and we're expecting plenty of adults to be won over by it.The body is styled on a 000 size but smaller with an arched back to aid projection and volume, and it comes in a choice of Spruce and Mahogany tops (both solid), both of which we've tried and liked, although there's surprisingly little difference between the two. Tonally it's a real surprise, very full and lively, and easily the equal of guitars significantly more expensive irrespective of its small size. It's a really fun little thing to pick up, and even with a wall full of high end acoustics right next to us we've found ourselves picking up the Crafter for behind the counter strumming.We've always loved the Crafter brand for their consistantly high build quality and good value for money but this is a particular diamond. We have the Spruce and Mahogany versions in stock now - please do come in and try them.http://www.forsyths.co.uk/guitars/acoustic-guitars/crafter-guitars/122878-crafter-lite-tcd-acoustic-guitar-.html
