Great montage, but watching this instead of the original series doesn't convey how much of a rollercoaster this build was. I remember thinking "man, he ruined it" every time you added some detail only to be completely amazed at how stunning it turned out (and I'm one of those who suggested a green finish too). Great job Ben!

@wombat6 2 жыл бұрын

I like this kind of video. Quick "my 2 cents" : the build series are great, you explain the thought process for designing the guitar in detail, you explain the build details, the problems you run into, etc, and that's awesome. But *since you DO explain all the things* , it drags the actual building out a lot, so, a "recap" video with all of the discussion/rambling/chicken cameos cut out is really good to have. Not instead of, on top of the actual build series. Like now. So yeah keep it up :)

@CrimsonCustomGuitars 2 жыл бұрын

Every time you glue a neck, I wonder how you know its lined up perfectly over the pickup cavities. As a current amateur craftsman, and aspiring luthier I cant seem to get that part perfect yet. You make it look very easy which is encouraging. Amazing craftsmanship and artistry. I appreciate your styles. People ask me when I start a project, "what will it look like when youre done?". I say, "I'm not entirely sure yet. It will tell me as I go along." I enjoy seeing other artists listen to their creation as well. Thank you for another great video.

For this particular build, this was a kit from Crimson, so a CNC machine cut the neck pocket and matching neck. I'm always astounded watching Ben make a neck from a piece of square stock in a half-hour. THAT seems like real magic to me :)
