Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 and the most exciting and valuable wood delivery to Crimson HQ EVER!
This wood is New Zealand swamp Kauri - very rare and very, very old. Carbon dating puts it at 41,840 years old (+/- 878 years...). This wood belongs to an exclusive client and Ben will be building at least one custom guitar. It took 4 years to prepare these pieces of timber and to send them all the way to the UK. I for one, can't wait to see what Ben and the luthiers at Crimson create.
