I really enjoy when Sophia does these videos. Hopefully they let her do more videos.
We are hoping to do so.
Always nice to see an acoustic guitar on the channel, and Sofia's relaxed energy makes for great videos.
Thank you very much!
yay another sofia repair! the precision, attention to the tiniest of detail & genuine love of the instruments & processes- absoutely fabulous. excellent! more please!!
We hope to have more in the pipeline.
Great job as always Sofia happy to have you as part of the A-Team at Crimson
Thank you! 😄
Nice to see our lass back here makin great vids!
A grabd job you done there :)
Thank you
Of all the guitar repair/restore artists I watch, Sophia would 100% have my guitars to work on. I really appreciate the care that is shown. So many others are just slap slap slap!
We like to think that all our luthiers take the same amount of care.
I played a friends one time and that was 30 years ago and I still think about this guitar all the time. Now that my kids are grown and I've almost recovered from divorce I'll get one if my own.
That's a beautiful and gentle touch to a real vintage classic. It's so lovely to see a sensitive approach to such a gorgeous instrument.
Thank you so much!
Amazing results you got from that polish.
love the use of those hand saws !!
That was completely delightful :)
Sofia is getting really good at this and I didn’t know she could play that well!
Thank you.
I like the player’s perspective Sofia brings here and the lightning speed with which she checks tuning by ear with harmonics-a lost art in this soul-sucking era of digital tuning.
- Paul
thank you.
Nice job Sofia! And we got to see Harvey too! :D
Dearest Crimsons,
As always a super nice video on a beautiful guitar, well lead by awesome Sofia.
However, i'm wondering when the video stops being a video about guitars with legit product placements and switches to downright advertizing.
I believe a good old "all products linked in the description" will be enough for the intérested costumer while leaving a smoother viewer experience for all others.
Cheers from a guitar loving fan
Most excellent. Well done.
Many thanks!
More from Sofia, please. Always informative, interesting, and entertaining.
Thank you
Love this!
Nice to see some proper, no fuss luthiery, more please!
Thanks, will do!
That is a gorgeous instrument
It certainly is.
A very handy guitar to have around!
Good video
Nice work Sofia.
Thank you!
Sofia you need to do more great videos !
Bravissimo!!!
Great video! 😁
Glad you liked it!
Great vid cool guitar.
Thanks for the visit
Well done Sofia. I have a family friend whos father played a 1959 acoustic. The brand was never mentioned in quick texts back and forth. But It had some internal damage and his son removed the back before realizing he was in over his abilities in woodworking. anyways I was suggested to them to see what can be done to get it back together again so I will more than likely be contacting you for advice if that is O.K. once I know more.
Please email customshop@crimsonguitars.com and we will be very plelased to help.
What strings are on this beauty?
Very nice But in my opinion you should have used unbleached bone for the nut it would last forever & match the beauty of that guitar..👍👍🎸🎼🎹👨🏻🦯
Hi Sophia. Great video 😊. What tool is being used at 11:50? I need a small spanner to tighten up jack-socket/strap-button inside an acoustic guitar. Cheers, Paul
It is the 5 in 1 Guitar Nut Cube. www.crimsonguitars.com/products/5-in-1-guitar-nut-cube
@@CrimsonCustomGuitars Thank you 😊
Gorgeous guitar, amazing job, done with care, attention and appreciation. Never expected Sophia's last name, does she speaks Spanish?
thank you, and yes.
@@CrimsonCustomGuitars Ace, Super.
Just saying hello to that AC30 👋
What's up with the Snowflake at 7:31 ? 😀
Looks similar to the Gibson Peter dohe4tys manager lent him ..
Мне не понятно одно, почему вы не выточили и не установили, костяной задний порожек? Это одна из важных задач в реставрации гитары. Т.е. не сделали работу до конца так как надо? Это же не так сложно, или вы не знали что там должна быть такая деталь? Я не поверю этому. Почему же всё таки так произошло? Какие для этого нужны причины? Я вне доумении от этого , ведь самое главное это музыкальная часть восстановления инструмента.
I'm surprised Andy Taylor gave Crimson another of his guitars to fettle after the job Ben did on his Les Paul.
i am very curios as to why no one checks the lay of the land on the board before even starting a fret job? i guess it is to promote the useless fret rockers, a good luthier sites the board first! its has been done like that for decades............incorrect size screw driver??with all the edits we actually viewed zilch of any works under taken. now all we no is you can color match plastics ...it looks like the neck reset it need is to much work...
