Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 and Ben's home workshop. In this video/episode Ben is looking at a beautiful 1992 Patrick Eggle Berlin Plus Guitar, it has some paying wear and dinks and dings but is a stunning little guitar. The frets have just been leveled and are polished to a level far beyond the average. https://www.eggle.co.uk/
