A great piece of equipment
The order was completed great, arrived quickly with the quality and function brilliant. It could have been 5 stars if the electronic gauge had been supplied with the battery to operate it… A minor point.
I will definitely buy from you again, I have bought a number of items and would recommend to all to use you.

All down to Ricky
All down to Ricky! I wanted to pick up some tools at the Guitar Show in Birmingham as I was travelling from abroad, and he went above and beyond to bring them with him to the show and have them ready to go. And loads of chat and banter too at the stand.
Top bloke, top company. Will happily buy from them again!

Crimson Guitars makes incredible luthier tools for incredibly great prices. Love watching your work grow n YouTube too. It would be a dream to do one of your builder classes, but being in the US, it is not a cheap venture. Keep up the great work.

Very happy!
Very, very good tools, and well-packaged. Shipping overseas can take a while but it’s well worth the wait; Crimson Guitars carries a number of specialty luthiery tools you would have a very hard time finding elsewhere at the same price range and quality.

Top tier quality products
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.
