Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 and Ben's home workshop. This is the new midweek series where Ben builds a unique fanned fret / multiscale kit guitar. This is the brand new Uncut, Fanned Fret Kit Guitar from Crimson that Ben has been looking forward to launching for a long time - https://www.crimsonguitars.com/products/kit-guitar-uncut-fanned-fret
In this episode, Ben has been experimenting with Crimson's new Wipe on Varnish and decides to bring a bit more bling and shine to the dark areas of stain from last week.
