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!

@CrimsonCustomGuitars 2 года назад

Thank you Federico, this guitar was actually very very mentally draining.. the first time I've actually considered just calling it a day on for years! I do love it though when all is said and done.. thank you for watching :)

I watched each episode of the Shred series as soon as it came out. For some reason I thought this particular build was uniquely fascinating, and I couldn't wait to see the next episode. Lovely to see this complete build video.

@CrimsonCustomGuitars 2 года назад

Thank you Spaggy Marbles, this was a hard build and one that changed a LOT during the process but I love it now. the angled sides in particular are something that need to be on another build soon, so comfortable and cool looking imo

@blessedheavyelements8544 2 года назад

@tonisiret5557 2 года назад

Ben's hardware design's are become my favourite parts of his builds. There's such a vacuum of blandness with modern guitar hardware, that I think Crimson should put their own into production! One of my favourite builds 👌

@mickwtaylor438 2 года назад

@davidsen1805 2 года назад

I watched the whole series, but this was a great refresher on how AWESOME this guitar is. The scratches on the sides and back are so special, as well as the color and copper leaf on the front of course.

@CrimsonCustomGuitars 2 года назад

How did I miss this beauty? I've been sick for the last year or so. Spent more time in the hospital than at home. This guitar is so beautiful. I hope I can find all the videos as you went along and watch each part of the build.

@jamesdereybekill755 2 года назад

the videos on this channel have given me a renewed appreciation for so many things: woodworking, the craftsmanship that goes into instruments and even (as silly as it sounds) just lines. And that guitar right there is a piece of artwork in more ways than one.

Ok, so… I’ve been watching a long list of builds online… This quite frankly might be the first one I’ve seen that dropped my jaw. Phenomenally brilliant idea’s & attention to detail.

@wombat6 2 года назад

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 года назад

Thank you MJ, this is exactly how I think about it.. 2 separate 'products' from the same build. we're working on the technique/process of making the super-edits but there will be a LOT more of them going forward. Thanks for watching :)

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.

@VAXHeadroom 2 года назад

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 :)

What a gorgeous build! I love your creativity in both the form and the finish of this absolute work of art. I'm curious though, do you ever run into delamination issues with long grain glue ups on species of wood that expand with humidity at different rates? That maple layer looks a bit thick to act like a veneer.
