Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 and the Super Edit of The Silky Oak Guitar Build!
When April Wilkerson & Matt Cremona came to visit Crimson Guitars earlier this year, in Ben's possession there lay slabs of untouched Holm Oak and Torrified Sycamore. Fast forward to today, where we are proud to announce that they've come together to form a beautiful, exotic creation known as The Silky Oak build!
Following on from our 6-part series, we present to you the super edit - the entire build in 10 minutes! To watch a more in-depth video series, you can watch it in all its glory right here:

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...
Thank you to ISOtunes for partnering with us for this project.
