In the crowded world of electric guitars, earning recognition from one of the UK’s most respected guitar publications is no small feat. So when Guitarist magazine selected the our Crossfire Standard as one of its 'Gear of the Year' winners in the 'Mainstream Electric' category, it marked a milestone moment not just for the guitar itself, but for the brand behind it.

This selection comes after the Crossfire Standard was given 10/10 in their review of the guitar earlier in the year!

Every year Guitarist magazine curates a list of standout instruments across a range of categories, from boutique customs to accessible workhorses. Being included in 'Gear of the Year', especially in the Mainstream Electric class, means a guitar isn’t just well-made — it’s considered one of the most compelling choices for players at that level.
