Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 and welcome to Crimson Guitars http://www.crimsonguitars.com and an in-depth tutorial series from Luthier Ben Crowe.
This seven-part series will follow the re-fret and repair of Stereophonics' Kelly Jones' favourite Gibson SG. Being a fan, Ben was excited to not only carry out this work but also to share it with you.
In this episode, Ben cleans and levels the fretboard and prepares the fret slots for new frets.
