Welcome to Crimson Guitars and a Luthier's Teardown in Ben's home workshop. https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonC...
This is a new series where Ben takes a pre-loved guitar and takes a much closer look. This guitar is a 1987 Washburn G-5V with an amazing 2001 Wanderbar Bridge. Ben is going to take a much closer look at this interesting, possibly overengineered, tremolo system and share his thoughts.
Overall, this guitar needs some TLC, new strings, and a much-needed fret level, crown & polish.
