Crimson Custom Descendant Ambrosia Sycamore

Description

We’re very excited to bring you a brand new Crimson Custom Collection – a range of Crimson Descendant guitars that have been personally customised by Ben Crowe to create some beautiful and unique instruments. Ben has used a range of techniques – special carves, stains, finishes and hardware – to create these one-off guitars, representing a great opportunity to own an instrument created by one of the UK’s best respected luthiers at an accessible price.

In this example, Ben has carved this striking new shape and finished it with Crimson’s lightweight poly flash coating. In true Crimson style, the design let’s the beauty of the natural Ambrosia Sycamore top and Spalted Beech body shine out. The comfortable C-shape neck (with twin carbon dual-action trussrod)  and backplates are from Rosewood.  Top grade materials and components are used throughout – selected with the care and attention you’d expect from the Crimson folks. Gotoh 510 bridge , Bourns pots, handwound Crimson Classic Hooker pickups, Alpha switches, Switchcraft jack socket and string ferrules, Jescar medium jumbo frets, carbon fibre nut and Gotoh locking tuners. Comes with a Crimson Hiscox hardcase.
