Nice ordering and delivery experience each time. Although the tools ordered seemed a bit expensive (especially the protractor) for what my needs are, they are nicely made and evidently do the job w... See more

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... See more

Great stain
Great product - the stain was fantastic, a really good colour and took well to maple, and the water absed lacquer is equally easy to apply. Crimson were prompt and helpful answering my query about lacquer over stain.

No problems at all placing the order
No problems at all placing the order, quick response, nothing negative to say about the process. The really amazing thing is though the quality of the tools Crimson Guitars makes: just touching them gives you pleasure, you feel confident while using them because they are designed and made to make guitars. Great, great value!

Crimson guitars is the only source
Crimson guitars is the only source for solid pieces of exotic veneers to be found on this side of the Atlantic. If you are looking to finish the top of a guitar you need look no further.

Products are fantastic! Shipping not so much
The products were great! i got a bunch of colored stains which i tried out on spare wood before applying to the guitar and they all looked great, colors really popped. Also got the clear coat finish which i wish was a little bigger. Unfortunately im in the US and the package was held up in customs for a while which required me to fill out forms in order to receive it. i also then got a $30 bill from Fedex because of it. So while i love the products and would like more, i probably wont order again.
