Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 and Ben's home workshop. In this video, Ben is taking a great risk by using a Scalpel blade to age the Nitro finish on a 2016 US Gibson Les Paul. Ben is trying to recreate the aged and crack nitro finish of a genuine 1960s Burns Sonic model Bass.

This is a controversial topic and some people may take offense, but please remember to be kind in the comments.
