Welcome to CRIMSON GUITARS HQ www.crimsonguitars.com/
In this video, Ben is backstage at Avril Lavigne's Cardiff Castle Concert. What an amazing location to do a fret level, crown and polish.
Ben had the pleasure to meet and work on David Immerman's Taylor backstage (or side stage) while the band did sound checks before the show.
