Welcome to Crimson Guitars [ Ссылка ]
We often get really interesting guitars in for repairs at [ Ссылка ] and this one just had to be filmed.
It is a beautiful old Gibson Tennessean Orange Chet Atkins Signature. These were made between 1958 and 1980 and it is really a rather lovely guitar. The problem is one of really poor maintenance/repair/setup over the years and it is in the workshop to be made playable.
This is the 2nd of 3 episodes following the whole process in depth. In the last tutorial, Ben filled the gaping nut slot holes using the dust and glue method.
In this episode, Ben goes through each process involved in leveling, crowning, and polishing the well-worn frets of this lovely old guitar. You can do this at home with only a few specialist luthiers tools that are available from [ Ссылка ] our own luthiers' supply store in the UK.
