Ep 19 Taking a Cheap Kit Guitar and Making it GREAT - Action and intonation

Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonC...

The 19th video in a new series from http://www.crimsonguitars.com following an untried apprentice as he, with master Luthier Ben Crowe's supervision, turns an £80 kit telecaster into something worthy of the cover of one of the world's biggest guitar magazines - Premier Guitar.

In this episode, Howard is adjusting the action and fine-tuning the intonation.
