I am testing the waters to see if there is any interest in this fine JCH, branded Crawford Park steel guitar that is in near mint shape.
I bought it from Rusty Park, and he said it remained in it's case for most of the time, and was only played outside the home a handful of times, as he had another that he used for jobs.
$5500 picked up, shipping $200 CONUS, west coast add $50
I must admit that I wasn't previously aware of the 'CP' period in their history until Scott Murray told me. This is the first one I've seen - it's a great colour and 10+10????
I wish someone else would buy it so the itch will go away.

Roger what is the CP Period? Pardon my ignorance, Dan
Crawford/Park - apparently, at some point in the '90s, the ownership was changed. There's a suggestion that John Hughey no longer wanted to be involved? Disclaimer: I don't know this for certain, so take this info for what it's worth.
Anyway, they did change the name back to JCH later. To all intents and purposes, these are JCH guitars.
At one time, there was a different logo badge, and a different fretboard design on the Crawford Parks guitars. I’m assuming that this guitar, might’ve been built, prior to those changes. Russ Hicks had an SD10 CP guitar, that had the different badge and fretboard. I will say, looking at the underneath of this guitar, I don’t really see anything different, it still looks like the same guitar when it was a JCH. Could just be the same, but under the new partnership. Jimmie did make a few changes when he took full ownership, and it became JCH once again. It’s too bad that there wasn’t more of these guitars produced.
