General

While the Crafter MINO MAHO electro-acoustic guitar bears the same deluxe features and detailing as the BIG MINO MAHO, this more compact edition boasts a tighter 23.25 inch scale length, reducing the distance between the nut and bridge and lowering string tension for a lighter playing feel. The body and neck have been crafted from mahogany, striking a stunning contrast with the light colouring of the solid spruce soundboard and completing a highly resonant instrument with a powerful sound framed by plenty of depth and bright projection. The sides and back have been given an open pore finish while the top has been given a coat of satin-gloss, allowing the wood grain to shine through across the entire body, while more aesthetic details are taken care of by the open slotted headstock, soundhole rosette, and a forearm contour along the top of the lower bout.

Two-Part Preamp System

To ensure natural and accurate stage-sound, the Crafter MINO MAHO has been fitted with a smart two-part preamp system where a piezo pickup has been discreetly installed beneath the saddle to register string vibration and a microphone has been mounted just inside the soundhole to capture the resonance of the body. The preamp controls provides a blend pot for balancing both signals, a volume pot for setting the total output level, and by pushing in the Clarity button, the mid-frequencies are dampened to push the higher and lower frequencies into the foreground and leave a full and broad sound with enough body to support strummed playing styles.
