The Cribs frontman, Ryan Jarman, played this guitar whilst on world tour in 2011. He used it almost every night, usually for the set-closing song.

The guitar is a Lake Placid Blue model. It has a white pickguard, maple neck, and dark rosewood fretboard.

It was damaged and mended many times before finally being deemed ‘beyond-repair’ in Hong Kong in 2013.
