Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonC... and Ben's home workshop. In this 4th and final episode, Ben adds some silver detail to the weight relief holes, and buffs the guitar to a gorgeous glossy shine. With a fret-level crown and polish, a custom scratchplate fitted with refreshed electronics, custom control knobs, and new strings, this is a one-of-a-kind guitar and went from 10lb 4oz to 7lb 8 oz. Jasmine is going to LOVE this guitar now!
