Welcome to Crimson Guitars /user/CrimsonCustomGuitars and Ben's home workshop. In this video Ben is repairing a guitar that he built in 2018 for the CBeebies children's show 'Junk Rescue'. When they were done with filming, the guitar was apparently stored, without a guitar case, in a damp warehouse and sustained some unusual damage. Here's how Ben brings this 'beastie' back to life.
