WTD: CRINSON or DANOCASTER Blackguard

Zoolooter

A long shot as they rarely come up for sale, but let me know if your moving yours on! There's a Crinson on Gumtree but it has a slim neck (i like em chunky), and it also has some blingy abalone dots which look rather out of place on a 50's blackguard.

My local guit shop has a crinson. Almost nocaster money. Are they that good?

Abalone dots are fairly easily replaced if the fingerboard isn't maple.

You drill them out, glue in new ones and scrape them down.

Which guitar shop is that?

Are they that good, personal taste I guess. Thing with the crinson, danocaster and possibly revelator is that your getting something that has truly had a lot of effort and time spent on it and getting it right. I like the fact that one person has worked on it to the best of their ability. Plus, the relicing actually looks authentic, which I like. Don't think I've seen one CS fender blackguard that looks correctly aged, most just look wrong, and the name on the headstock no longer worries me.

There is/was a Crinson at Amp Guitars in Macclesfield a while ago, I tried it out. The neck was BIG, I think it was an Allparts TMO Fat that Nigel had finished, don't think he built it from scratch. I passed on it as the neck was too big for me. Very authentic looking guitar though.
