Here's an excellent collector's guitar, a 2016 Crimson Custom Guitars PAF in Crimson Red. One of their very early One Series "production guitars", this instrument was built by a small team entirely in England. No idea why it's called the "PAF", as it has P90s. Details Below:

  • Two Piece Ash Body
  • 18/1 Ratio Chrome Tuners
  • Gotoh Tune-O-Matic & Stop Tail
  • UK-Made, Crimson Designed P90s
  • Vol. / Tone / 3-Way Pickup Switching
  • Chrome Knurled Control Knobs
  • Open Pore Finish
  • Sapele Control Covers
  • One Piece Set-Construction Sapele Neck with Ovankol Fretboard
  • 25.5" Scale Length  
  • 12" Fretboard Radius
  • 22 Medium / Jumbo Nickel Silver Frets
  • Corian Nut
  • 43mm Mut Width
  • 6mm Plastic Dot Fret Markers
  • Tubular Aluminum Side Markers
  • 8.2 lbs.
  • Ritter Gig Bag

Condition is mint and unplayed. Being a UK-built guitar, it had sharp fret ends after being stored in Arizona for a few years. This was corrected this year with a full fret level and dress by Steadfast Guitar Repair in Phoenix. New NYXL 9s and full set-up with the fret work. Aside from this, the instrument was only stored in a smoke-free, climate-controlled home.

This was made at a time when the factory was first attempting production on any sort of scale beyond full custom, so we should talk about the craftsmanship of this guitar. The finish at the neck joint shows a bit of finish flaw here, as more care could've been taken with masking, sanding,  and touch-up. This is shown in the photos. There's a filled-in (and finished) 3mm spot on the tip of the headstock.The butt-end of the fingerboard is slightly rough. The front and rear headstock logos have evidence of sanding and some color has bled into the finish. There's a slight dent in the wood, under the finish, at the truss-rod access hole and another on the face of the headstock. The tuners still have the protective plastic. All of this is shown in the photos.

This was previously listed, then sold and shipped to a scammer (I was lucky enough to get FedEx to bring it back, then have the fret work done). My previous listing included a full demo of this instrument by Toby James. The video has seemingly been removed at Crimson Guitars' YouTube account.
