BoB1 - a quick Fret Level, Crown & Polish

Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 and Ben's home workshop. In this video, Ben is getting Bob1 ready for the Guitar Show in Birmingham, which happened on the weekend of May 7/8th. This is a unique guitar and favourite for visitors to Crimson HQ to take off the guitar wall for a closer look. So while not very dusty, it needed a fret level, crown, and polish to be show-ready.
