Welcome to Crimson Guitars HQ https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 and another Luthier Teardown. This is a 1960's Höfner Galaxie needed a lot of care and attention. Last episode, Ben fixed a large crack in the finish on the back. This time Sofia is repairing an inlay on the fretboard, doing a level, crown and polish. She also repairs the nut and recuts the slots. Josh restores the original mute bar and gives us a demo.
