The Company that is now Crafter was founded by HyunKwon Park in April 1972 in the basement of his home, four people working in a 20 square metre area. In that early period, the company produced classical guitars for the Korean domestic market and these quickly earned a good reputation, mainly for their high quality of sound.
The company soon had to move to new, bigger premises in order to build enough guitars to fulfill the demand and, in 1978, it moved again, this time from Seoul to the new area of Yangju-gun.
At that time, the guitars were branded ‘Sungeum’ which means ‘accomplishing the sound’ and this is still a well known brand in the Korean market, today. HyunKwon’s ambition was always to supply instruments to guitar players throughout the world, however, so he then started to make acoustic and electro-acoustic guitars which had more international appeal.

It is both new and modern, enabling them to produce the cleanest instruments whilst keeping to traditional production methods that allow the craftsmen to care for the instruments that they produce. The 140 strong Crafter workforce produced 60,000 instruments in 2001, with a capacity to build far more than that number ...
