FS: Crafter Cruiser £50

roundthebend

This was picked up cheap for my son when he was interested in learning guitar. It's ugly in my opinion, but I wanted him to love whatever guitar he had. It actually plays quite nicely. One noticeable ding on the top corner. Comes with fitted carry case.

£50 (yes, fifty)
Collection from Peterborough.
Courier considered at cost.

How about this.....I reckon this guitar could be an interesting project - change the finish, maybe alter the shape, add some crazy electronics (4 pickups), etc.

If you want it for £25, pitch your design ideas below and I'll pick the best one and let it go super cheap.

I would actually sand it down to a natural finish and maybe use a somewhat dark woodstain on it, and change the pickups to chrome covered humbuckers - possibly the Irongear Blues Engines or some Wilkinson ones - with the cream-coloured pickup surrounds on. I'd also install cream strat-style knobs.  I might consider changing the neck for a Tele style maple neck too, just to make people really nauseous.

Is that an offer to buy it for £25 + P&P?

I have a Crafter Cruiser strat I bought for next to nothing. Despite the fact it had various levels of rust on the hardware (think it was left somewhere damp for several years) it's still a nice guitar to play and it's got a lovely neck. I've used to try and learn a bit of modding and repair and been very happy with the results, great axe to take apart and experiment with.

I'd rather you waited for other entries to come in before choosing me
