History

Founded by Hyun Kwon Park in April 1972, the first "factory" of Sung-Eum music Co Ltd. was in Hyun's own basement. During this so called "early period," they produced classical guitars for the Korean market. As the company grew, they moved from the basement to a factory in Seoul, eventually moving to their present headquarters in Yangju-gun. To appeal to a more international market, Hyun started to produce acoustic and electro-acoustic guitars. However, the company struggled against the more established Western and Japanese names in this market.

In 1986, In Jae Park, Hyun's eldest son, joined the company and took direct control of the guitar manufacturing while Hyun stayed on as chairman. Jae changed the international name to "Crafter," as he felt this was a more memorable name which conveyed a certain sense of craftsmanship. They now produce acoustic, electro-acoustic, and electric guitars.
