"Establish the possible and move gradually towards the impossible"

Robert Fripp

Crimson Guitars and Robert are currently working closely on several projects, these range from designing and building a Robert Fripp Custom model incorporating all of his standard mods and introducing a few more.  This guitar was unveiled, alongside some of his early Les Pauls, at this years London Guitar Show.  As well as this there is an ongoing project to standardise all of the guitars that Robert regularly plays, some of these have been around since the earliest King Crimson days and technology has advanced somewhat since then. 

Robert regularly runs 'Guitar Craft' seminars and Crimson Guitars offers a 10% discount to any 'crafties' that come to us holding the ubiquitous R F plectrum as proof of their craftieness.

Here are a few photo's of the first prototypes of Roberts Custom Slimline model, the Hollow model and a Gold Slimline which was built without MIDI.

and here are some photo's of the Hollow model prototype in progress from my diary...

There is more information on the specs of this guitar on the instruments page.  Unlike almost every other guitar we build there is no limit as to the numbers we can build of this model, Robert wants it to be available to anyone who is interested.
