Very Good Shape
Crews is one of my favorite Japanese brands. Their guitars are very consistent and built to Custom Shop specifications with superb attention to detail.
This limited edition single cut guitar was made for Musicland Key, a large music retailer in Japan. The specs include:
- Body - I piece African Mahogany
- Top - Hard Rock Solid Flame Maple
- Neck - African Mahogany
- Fretboard - Madagascar Rosewood
- Pickups - K&T Weeps
- Finish - Cherry Sunburst Cloudy Lacquer
K&T is a high end handwound pickup in Japan started by Jun Takano, the gentleman who designed the famed DryZ pickup for Maxon used in the most expensive Grecos of the day. Weeps are their flagship pickup and is a low output, PAF style with a "tele-on-steroids" snappy tone. A new set of these pickups is priced at $1,000.
The finish is all lacquer with a satin look and feel.
The neck is chunky and comfortable with a '59 C shape. Measurements are:
- Width - 1.70" at the nut, 2.07" at the 12th fret
- Depth - 0.91" at the 1st fret, 1.00" at the 12th fret
Weight is 8.6 Pounds
Condition is very good. I can find no visible marks except for some light pick wear on the pickguard. Frets show no visible wear.
Includes a Crews branded heavy duty soft shell case with backpack style straps.
