Crafter Charlotte SM DB Day Blue

The Crafter Charlotte in Day Blue lets you discover more than one familiar sound

Your first electric guitar doesn't have to confine you to a single musical style. The Crafter Charlotte SM DB in Day Blue combines a recognizable S-style shape with a versatile HSS pickup configuration and a maple fretboard. The blue finish, mint green pickguard, and ivory-colored knobs give this Charlotte a fresh look. Beneath that exterior, you'll find practical choices such as stainless steel frets and a Wilkinson tremolo. This makes it appealing to players who want to start out gently but are looking for the freedom to further develop their own sound.

The Alnico V single-coils at the neck and middle offer clear tones for chords, rhythm parts, and melodies. For a fuller sound, switch to the humbucker at the bridge, for example when playing a heavy riff or solo with overdrive. With the separate mini-switch, you can split the humbucker for a thinner alternative. The five-way selector helps you explore the different pickup combinations. This allows you to go from sparkling cleans to a heavier rock sound with the same guitar, without complicated controls or extra equipment.

The maple neck has a modern C profile and a maple fretboard with 22 medium-jumbo stainless steel frets. The radius is 14 inches, making the playing surface relatively flat. The 25.5-inch scale length is combined with a 42 mm wide leg-style headstock. The Wilkinson two-point tremolo has alloy saddles and allows room for subtle movement in your notes and chords. With one volume and one tone control, the controls remain straightforward. The polyester finish protects the Day Blue color, and a gig bag is included.

From your first practice session at home to playing with others: this Charlotte offers plenty of possibilities to keep experimenting. Be sure to try how one other pickup position can give your favorite part a new character.
