Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 and welcome to the penultimate episode in The Silky Oak Build Series.
It's always bittersweet when a build comes to an end. On the one hand, the series we've put so much time, love, and effort into has come to a close, whilst on the other hand; there is yet another gorgeous guitar to look at (and fight the urge to play) here at Crimson - and this one is no exception!
As well as all the fun and antics that April and Matt brought to our brand new teaching facilities, April also introduced Ben to the wonders of ISOtunes hearing protection, Bluetooth earbuds. Gone are the days when Ben would struggle to listen to his favourite podcast of the month through the tinny speakers of his phone. Now, not only is he protecting his hearing, but he will also never miss another word or refrain because of machine noise. Bonus - he is no longer annoying this editor who spends way too much time fixing the audio as it is...
