Well, nine long months in the 'development' I'm pleased, chuffed, delight-filled and generally quite happy to introduce you to The Crowley One, and a reet beauty the girl is.
From the top she has..
A Slab Mahogany Body
A Mahogany Neck
A Rosewood Fretboard
Wilkinson ABR, ToM and Tuners
A matched pair of Gibson 'Platinum' pickups (A Classic '57 and another Alnico one I can't remember the number of, but should really find out. Oh, just found my notes, it is a 490T.)
All topped off with a variegated gold finish, that has been crickled and crackled using aged varnish and funny craqueler chemical bobbins.
The scratchplate has a real platinum leaf finish with a sparky electric design (if you look from the right angle).
Sounds-wise we're into Classic Rock, with the neck having a bit more oomph if needed.
For those of you viewing in black and white, the red button is a killswitch for all those RATM/Tom Morello moments, with a standard three-way-switch, single volume and single tone covering the more usual fine-tuning.
All in all, it is a beautiful guitar to play and hopefully will be well loved...

It looks amazing!!!
Cheers FoM - I know I always say this (until the next shiny thing comes along) but it sounds great. I'm really chuffed with the finish too - almost looks like weathered sandstone up close...
