Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 and Ben's home workshop. In this short series, Ben rescues this Hofner Galaxies neck and goes from a scratched-up mess that needed a shim, to a stunning new look. With a vintage colour and a matte finish, this is a neck to be proud of and will show off the amazing shiny frets from the previous episode.
