    What does the custom switching do..? I presume it’s humbucker to single coil ..?

    What a stunning looking thing. Looks like it might weigh more than Monserrat Caballe though?

    I too was wondering about the weight.  And the neck profile?

    By coincidence, I spent the best part of an afternoon watching Crimson's YouTube channel over the Easter weekend.

    Ah, well, you'd be wrong to think that. Crimson don't build heavy Guitars. This is my third, and they've all been lovely and light.
    Even with all that beautiful Walnut, It weighs only 7.5lb

    Okay, I've bought yet another guitar from the forum today, so I need to screw the nut a bit.

    I'm putting this back up for sale, to sell.

    Forum only price of £795 for a quick sale to recoupe some funds.

    This is a stupidly cheap price, so form an orderly queue please.
