Crafter Crema S - A Strat Copy That Outplays Fender

What happens when a $500 Crafter guitar tries to take on the big F? Turns out - quite a lot. In this review of the Crafter Crema S, I unbox it, play it, tear it apart (gently), and figure out whether it’s one of the best modern S-types under 600 quid. Spoiler: I might be in love.
