Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 and Ben's home workshop. In this video Ben is applying finish without a spray booth, or using rattle cans and it's a surprisingly quick process! He also cuts a bone nut to size and get it ready for strings. The headstock logo also gets some Glow-in-the-dark powder like the side dots and fret markers.
