Reviving a BATTERED Black Beauty | From Grime to Glory!

Welcome to CRIMSON GUITARS HQ https://www.crimsonguitars.com/
This Epiphone Black Beauty has certainly seen some things… but today, it gets the full Crimson Custom Guitars treatment before it heads out to one lucky winner through Daily Guitar Draw.

Join us as we restore this legendary axe—from stripping it down to bare wood, tackling deep dents in its thick poly finish, and scrubbing off a decade’s worth of DNA (yes, really), all the way to a mirror-gloss polish and full fretwork. Watch as we breathe new life into a well-loved workhorse and turn it into a stage-ready stunner once more.

Chapters:

00:55 – Stripping the hardware
02:09 – Cleaning off years of grime
02:36 – Repairing dents on the headstock
03:37 – Sanding the top to perfection
04:01 – Polishing to a mirror shine
04:34 – Level, crown, and polish the frets
05:25 – Restoring the fretboard
05:44 – Reassembly
07:16 – A little something different…
