Crews Maniac Sound Guitars Thread

Avert your eyes if you're only into LPs but this Suhr-style SSH from Crews stopped me dead in my tracks. I only post it here in the hope that someone buys it and puts me out of my misery.

ok after a good bit of time with these 2 i have to say that I am very impressed.. the ktr NFS weep pickups are the best set of new pickups i have come across, they are beaten only by dryz in my opinion, and even then I am not absolutely certain, having said that at 67000 yen for a set they should sound bloody good, the guitars themselves are just amazing superbly light and resonant, I was not convinced about the tapered neck at first but now i actually prefer it to the fat navigator necks, its a joy to play.. these are right up there with the best navigators, the navs edge them on specs, with honduran backs, and fret binding, but the first 36 or the fm59 edge the navs with a braz board, the nfs weep absolutely kill any set of duncans found in the navs... so we have a new boy on the high end modern top podium....

And how is number 11???? ;D haha

Doood! That thing is gorgeous. It's also very grabbable for me, being in Tokyo, but I am kitted out with enough guitars for the foreseeable and, being a builder, find it hard to justify buying one these days.

Any flamed top Crews with rather 59 neck for sale in EU?
(I know the 2 from villager
Thanks!

What about rest of the world? Anyone ?

Can someone enlighten me about the difference beetween a KTR LTD and a KTR STD?
Seems that they are the same but the ltd has another fretboard (asian rosewood 30 years old) and other pups.
The std seems to have a 40k yen higher retail price though, also it has no fretboard from 30 years old wood..
Or am I getting something wrong?

Crews are strangely opaque with their models and why some are priced certain ways, etc. I have one of each and both play equally great. My LTD is a 5D limited run, so I have no idea how that compares to the “regular” LTDs.

What is the neck size of a KTR-STD?
59, 58..?

Big 58. Mine had more shoulder than my LS80.

 

[free713]

+1 it's huge

Man, my KTR-STD has a 59 neck - who wants to trade me one with a 58 neck?

You have both a KTR-STD and KTR-LTD? I was under the impression that the STD had more of a '58 neck while the LTD was '59 ish that coincided with the LS-01 and the LS-02 made during those same periods

The 2010 KTR-LTD has NFS Weeps as does the KTR-STD. I have not owned nor played the STD but from what people in the know say -Harold- the STD was the second run of 144 following the LTD's initial production run of 144.

Thanks for answers, guys,
I am more after a 59 or even a bit slimmer profile. So I think I wont take the risk....

GiddyH has my old LTD (KTR Limited) and it is a slimmer '59-'60 as he says. I would look in that direction to be safe.

Ha, I just have the LTD. My mistake. I literally could have scrolled up to see the build sheet too.

 

[free713]

I had both and they were both big with the STD being biggest

 

[GiddyHitch]

If this KTR LS-02 Jr had a a P90 instead of a bucker I would have snatched it up before sharing it with you filthy heathens. Mick from TPS has convinced me that I need one of those.

Was the KTR select series weight relieved?
