Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 and Ben’s home workshop where he is making custom Guitar Picks using some unusual materials.
This episode is a mini-project where Ben is making a custom guitar pick by hand in a very hard-wearing and cool-looking acrylic compound called Kirinite.
You can do this too.
Get comfortable, make sure you have your coffee, sit back, and enjoy.
