SOLD : Stanford (Maybach ) Crossroads Thinline 35 vbfm. NOW ONLY £600
What's Hot
SOLD
For sale is my very pleasant and very playable Stanford Crossroads 35. Made under Maybach's supervision, who now own the Stanford name apparently, in China and their input shows, really well put together and plays great, very similar to a Chinese Eastman 335 I had a while back and gives my MIJ Tokai a bloody good run for its money.
I have not had it long at all and is only available now as something I have been lusting after for a long while has become available so something has to go.

Lovely hard case included.
Don't be put off by the country of origin, some fine guitars are being made in China lately.

Comments
Their official website blurb is a tad optimistic though:
"Larry Carlton, B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Alvin Lee, to name just a few famous names, loved and play this icon even today in their concerts."
I don't remember seeing any of those guys playing a Stanford, but maybe I just wasn't paying attention!
GLWTS!
I've only seen the worn versions which are darker and less glossy.
At best I recon its got a thin blow over of some sort of nitro, regardless of finish it is fine resonant guitar.
cheers
will update when I get home and check it .
