Welcome to Crimson Guitars [ Ссылка ] and welcome to Episode 59 of the Clarity series of videos. This guitar is based on a Robert Fripp design.
In this episode, Ben explains in-depth the fret crowning process using some of the first versions of Crimson's own traditional fret crowning and fret end bevelling files. When it comes to the polishing of the frets Ben shows a variety of techniques.
When this episode was filmed Ben had just moved the Crimson Guitars workshop into the new premises. You will recognise the familiar tool rack backdrop. The first of many, many iterations and that initial space has grown and grown around us.

This Video series with Ben Crowe at Crimson Guitars in the UK
([ Ссылка ]) became the backbone of the Crimson Guitars online tutorials for a few years.
Please note that this series was filmed in 2013. This means that some of Ben's techniques and opinions have since changed, however, much of the content is still relevant so we hope that you will benefit from this series and the updated links.
Thank you for watching.
