Very RARE 2016 Crews LS-02 '54 HB/GT in barely used MINT condition
The Crews LS-02 ’54 model is very RARE. According to the Crews web site these were made in P-90, and in humbucker configurations. The P-90 version is listed as being made in BLK (Black) and GT (Gold Top). The humbucker version is listed as being made in OXB (Ox Blood) and GT (Gold Top).
Of these versions of the LS-02 ’54 listed by Crews, I have seen only five total examples since they were released in 2016, and I have scoured pretty much every known source to search for this model over a four year period.
I would certainly consider any version of the LS-02 ’54 to qualify as a proverbial ‘rare bird.’
CONDITION: I rated this example as MINT as I cannot locate a single ding anywhere on the entire guitar. The plastic protective films are fully intact on the truss rod cover, the 3 way switch rear route cover, the control route cover, and on the pick guard. Fret wear is undetectable, and any superficial scratch, or abrasion is nearly impossible to locate.
ORIGINALITY: This example is 100% original
OWNERSHIP: I purchased this example NEW from Music Land Key nearly four years ago, thus I am the original retail purchaser of this example. I have rarely played this example, and have treated it with kid gloves. The MINT condition rating for this example is no doubt well deserved.
