Crimson Guitars Anmeldelser 

Well made tools, good price, well packed, kept up-to-date with delivery time.

First class quality and fast delivery with notifications all the way 👍

Top tier quality products, definitely worth the price as always. Tools made by luthiers for luthiers, though it also works for woodworkers.
Packaging really protects its content and customer support is great.

Not my first order and this won't be the last. Everyone at CG has been great and really gone out of their way to help me with all my buys so far. I would like to thank Rikki Miller especially for the whole experience with him helping me out as to no end.

Fantastic experience from start to receiving the loot. Great quality and value with exceptional support and guidance. Postage is super fast, more than reasonable cost and perfect tracking; and I live in Australia. Crimson have always exceeded expectation.

I attended the 2-week guitar building course and learned a lot from it. I went through the full process of building my own carved-top guitar, used a wide range of manual and electric woodworking tools, and learned not only from James and Dom, but also from seeing other students go through the same build process. The fact that I came away with a guitar that works is a big positive.

That said, the experience should have been better, especially given the price and the complexity of a 2-week build.

The main issue was course management. During our 2-week course, there were also 1-day and 1-week students being taught at the same time. We were six people on the 2-week course, plus additional students on shorter courses, which made the environment feel chaotic at times. I would not have minded this on its own, but it seemed to contribute to inconsistent guidance and quality-control issues.

James and Dom generally follow the same structure, but they also have different subjective ways of approaching tasks. As a result, it was possible to receive different instructions for the same stage of the build. For example, I was not initially told to draw a center line on the fretboard before cutting the fret slots, which later meant spending extra time trying to add it accurately.
The bigger concern was that some quality-control steps existed, but were not always followed or enforced properly. After receiving guidance on where to position the pickup routes and getting approval before cutting them, I only discovered during final assembly that there was a large visible gap between the neck pickup and the fretboard, which had to be creatively patched. This should have been caught much earlier.

The most serious issue was the neck angle. We did a dry clamp before gluing the neck and checked the angle, but after applying glue and clamping properly, the neck angle was not checked again. Possibly due to glue buildup, the final angle ended up steeper than intended. This was only discovered near the end of the course, once strings were fitted. By then, I had already been given the OK to also carve the back of the body-neck joint, and the guitar was essentially finished but not playable as intended.
To Dom’s credit, he spent a couple of hours ungluing and resetting the neck, which I genuinely appreciated. However, this also visibly affected the finish and beauty of the guitar, and the problem should have been caught much earlier in the process.

Overall, I learned a lot and I’m glad I built the guitar, but this could have been a 5-star experience. For me, it ended up as a 3-star course because of overcrowding, inconsistent guidance, and preventable process failures during critical build stages.

I went to Crimson Guitars for the 1 day setup course and really enjoyed it. James and Matt were really helpful and I have come away from it feeling far more confident in messing around with the components of any electric guitar.

I will 100% be back as I loved it but also because my health band said my stress levels fell by 63% whilst I was there haha!
