Anyone use a Crafter?

I bought a new electro accoustic one a couple of years ago, very cheap and although not in the league of Takemine or the likes, in a band mix (live) it really is a good sounding guitar. Just wondered if any of you guys use one.

I've got a Crafter mandolin. It sounds pretty good. It's got a pickup built in as well. Everyone I've played with has enjoyed hearing it.

I've been thinking of getting a mandolin, never thought about the Crafter types.....until now ! Crafter have been getting rave reviews this side of the pond and rightly so. In a land where prices are sky high for instruments, it is refreshing to get quality at a great price. Which model mandolin do you have?

I don't know what model it is - I've only ever seen this one style. It's a bad picture, the color is actually a nice blue burst.
