Take the warning seriously, folks. Several people have died trying this technique.

@warrenbroom7126 Год назад

Rubbish

@Atherax Год назад

There was a fad awhile back when it first started going viral, I don't know anyone who died, but I'm sure some did, I do know ppl that are trained electricians and armature woodworkers who thought they could do it easily, then ended up in hospital

@Forest_Fifer Год назад

According to the American Association of Woodturners, at least 33 people have died doing it since 2016.

@alexcorona Год назад

More people have died from welding

@MrErViLi Год назад

Much more people die driving to work but no one gets bent out of shape over that.

@borgonianevolution Год назад

I loved this one before the stain. Like every other mad scientist thing Ben does I was dreading watching the stain go on. I have over time learned to bite my lip and watch the process as most times it comes around to change my thinking. I would like to see this under final finish and all cleaned up. That carve on the back though.. sublime how the flow of that makes the entire back side even after all the other incredible woods make it look so pleasing to the eye

@alexdarknation9703 Год назад

This figured top ! This neck! What a beauty ! And Explorers are one of the most beautiful guitar shapes ever

@CarloRegadasGuitar Год назад

I'm not going to lie, I wasn't really feeling it, I was a bit underwhelmed with the stain but once that lacquer went on, there it was. Absolutely stunning work Bun! Carlo 🎸👍🏼

@vincentvandervaart8019 Год назад

As soon as the clear lacquer went on ....stunning

@Forest_Fifer Год назад

My word, when you turned that over and we saw the beautiful through neck...i almost had a crisis.... WANT ONE NOW.

@wombat6 Год назад

ESP EX shape, nice. I love the concave neckjoint, all neckjoints should be carved out like that.

@GeezerNerdRox Год назад

I purchased a Telecaster body that the Lichtenburg process applied to it. Top, back and sides, then it had rose gold paint applied to the burn patterns. I made a painfully cool Esquire of it and it gets rave reviews from folks who have seen and played it….glad I have it !!!

@nuerha85 Год назад

OMG thats sooo beautiful. Hope that you guys will show us the effect when the build is finished!

@RikJSmith Год назад

Your Skills are Amazing !!! I love watching you work . I could never afford one of your Pieces , but I definitely enjoy looking at them . Hope you're doing well and staying safe . 🎸

@ianthomson9363 Год назад

I've seen other guitars given the Lichtenburg treatment, but none so well done as this one. And the black stain with orange resin looks great, even though we've not seen the final result. I hope you enjoyed Glastonbury, can't wait to see what got built there! And a very wise decision not to use tools when tired.

@martintaylor1758 Год назад

Welcome back. Hope you had a great time at Glasto and your heid isn’t too sore. Looking forward to seeing this guitar pop when you add the lacquer. Drum roll….

@MangoOverload91 Год назад

This would be a great way to do a Dimebag esque lightning bolt "graphic" finish. Stunning work, Ben!

@matthewgierula5674 Год назад

Exactly! He should do blue on the next one. Getcha pull!

@PG-ex3kl Год назад

I prefer to add the stain to the guitar using a small piece of sponge, you certainly loose less of it into the bin and you can always rub over with tissue or wire wool (0000) afterwards. What a beautiful effect, I’m off to the dump to find an old microwave 😮

@jonahguitarguy Год назад

Very nice! I've been planning something like this for a long time now. I've got everything I need but lots of projects first in line.

@MrErViLi Год назад

Very awesome idea! But the fractal patterns are a little basic for the craft. When you fill the patterns with epoxy you lower the intricacy and imo, their beauty. Next time you need a really intricate fractal job give me a shout. I do this all the time on furniture and turned bowls and vases. I have a variable voltage machine and can get super wispy patterns all the way to deep patterns too.

@koosb8162 Год назад

This is a new one on me. Very very cool!

@ArtemisiaSayakaRandazzo Год назад

Beautiful!

@harrisonandrew Год назад

Nice, very nice. That has a “Last of Us” vibe going on. Love it. Ben wasn’t wrong, it really popped with the lacquer.

@JosephCarven Год назад

WOW! She's soooo cool! Eye candy

@Xarthis Год назад

This is very metal without being garish, very nice!

@LisaHarsh Год назад

I’m glad you outsourced this. It is very dangerous, trained electricians have died doing this. Ben the money I spend on Daily Guitar tickets I probably could get one of your guitars.

@Glitch_343 Год назад

Me when the first bit of staining went on: trust the process, trust the process, trust the process 😬😬😬 Me at the end of the video: phew, praise the process 🙌

@paulshouse524 Год назад

That is a stunning chunk of wood!

@OctoPaul70 Год назад

Oh my Lord, this is incredible...

@douglassapola9527 Год назад

That is a very cool effect overall, and I really like the way the fretboard looks… although that warning at the beginning, I didn’t know guitar building was so dangerous! 😊

@indiebekonn Год назад

Guitar building might not be dangerous per say, but playing with water and very high voltage, homemade contraptions certainly is.

@Atherax Год назад

@@indiebekonnalso guitar building as with all woodworking is actually surprisingly dangerous

@dalgguitars Год назад

That oak top is beautiful!

@ryanferris7841 Год назад

Incredible! Someday when I gave the spare cash I will definitely be ordering a custom guitar for you lot.

@onbedoeldekut1515 Год назад

Dunno how I missed this, I love Lichtenberg patterns, science and explorers (the explorer plans will deffo come in handy, thanks). You should be able to direct the electricity with something like pins and other conductive/metal things... Salt helps make water even more conductive, mix a strong dose of salt water for better quality branches. (it's why strike victims who sweat more experience more awesome branching than people who don't) Some metals 'attract or repulse' electricity better than others, so you can create paths and a triage of sorts, swapping out attractors for repulsors and potentially draw with electricity.

@cheapskate8656 Год назад

Looks great. The pattern is more regular than I expected.

@nicktd Год назад

Ride the lightening, Ben! Dimebag would be proud.

@Atherax Год назад

Thats beautiful, it would be cool to fill something like that with gold or something, or chrome, this also looks amazing tho, one of my favourite guitar shapes aswell 😊 Good job

@eakinj 9 месяцев назад

Almost seems a shame to stain this one, those lines look amazing with the contrast. Still going to be a gorgeous build. very impressed

@brentstewart59 Год назад

Very very nice Ben

@onbedoeldekut1515 Год назад

I was quite surprised that the explorer plans were folded and not rolled. Might it be an idea to offer rolled plans in tubes at an understandably higher cost? I for one would definitely buy rolled plans. Could you also possibly offer full size, transparent plans on tracing paper for ease of reproducing and transposing righty/lefty models? I haven't seen such a provision offered by any other luthier products/services outlet, and could be something people didn't know they needed!

@voornaam3191 Год назад

Sir Crimson, please stop building such beautiful guitars. Yes, you are inspiring, and no, I have no good reason to want to do things better than you, but each video I burst out in tears. How on earth can I figure out a way to top this one?! It's impossible! 😢

@Atherax Год назад

Ben, have you ever thought about using an eboniser to really make your wood look black, i think they look amazing and it lasts a long time due to how deep it gets

@BlainSlackJaw Год назад

Lovely looking guitar.

@ErickC Год назад

Cool stuff!

@garethsnaim8174 Год назад

Am I missing something what about the built from hand tools job or that super expensive billion year old wood one?

@mattcook476 Год назад

Nice!

@1777DK Год назад

Dear fantastic Ben. I also have ADHD but still manage to finish projects I start. You have three build series going, that we, the followers, eagerly await progress on. Much love, from a fellow neurodivergent.

@DominusFeles Год назад

How do you do that? 😅

@1777DK Год назад

@@DominusFeles Well one trait can be not being able to let go of something until you complete it, but it’s a gift and a curse.

@pitchforkcustom Год назад

superb looking. 👍

@ashleysmith3106 Год назад

Personally I think that a just clear lacquer on it in the beginning would have been excellent.

@timdeeter8197 Год назад

Would there be any chance of building a neck through bass guitar? Flamed maple with a beautiful transparent green burst finish? Any chance at all?

@shoffdk Год назад

I would never... like in never put your life at risk building a guitar for me to play... im good at playing guitars, and i mean really good ( all my life )... and I dont think that that would add anything good to it ! ... be save dear B.C

@logtothebase2 Год назад

I suppose it works in heavy metal sort of way, but for me as shown, the stain makes it too dark, fantastic crafting however. For the video It would be nice to have some longer shots of the finished item, from different angles with sympathetic lighting as to get a better look and more reward for watching it through.

@nnthsttrls Год назад

The fractal-ing really suits the figure of that burl.

@catandtheostrich Год назад

I'm thinking about using iron acetate as a wood stain (or fire). Have you used iron acetate? Any pros/cons?

@stevenhirsekorn3444 Год назад

Ben actually working out a good looking guitar. I’m shocked

@davidtomsett Год назад

What has happened to the Kauri wood build?

@jonfortner3919 Год назад

WoW!! What would it cost to get one made for me?

@dalgguitars Год назад

Yea, We just had a couple die doing this technique here in the States. The guy got electrocuted and when his girlfriend tried to help him she died too.

@arkabiswas9370 7 месяцев назад

@James-cs3hp Год назад

Being a lighting & shock surviver.....I do find this to be amusing....😆

@Slikx666 Год назад

@coderebel3568 Год назад

As a former electrician, I have some clue about how dangerous this is if you don't do it safely.. Even though I would really like a top like this for my next guitar build, I'm not going to try doing this myself.. As I understand the technique it involves water and high voltage.. That's asking for trouble. Very difficult to provide for all danger factors.. Extremely dangerous if you don't actually properly know how to do it safely. There are some risks I'm not willing to take. I value my life more than that..

@johnblack2927 Год назад

Could be interesting to use different coloured stains in the areas outlined by the broad lines maybe a rainbow 🌈 or flame🔥effect... Burn it!

@PlasticAssasin8 Год назад

Imagine if those resin filled fractal lines were able to bit backlit

"electrocute" means to kill with electricity -- the word was invented by an electric chair manufacturer, eg "Don't execute... electrocute."

@PaulCooksStuff Год назад

A finish to die for ... If you're not careful.

@gooseholla1 Год назад

Personally I'd have left it as contrasting light/dark.

@madmick9205 Год назад

Awesome. Really cool. I'm a guitar tech not far from Crimson Guitars. I bought most of tools from them and they're tools for life. I got to meet Ben and thank him personally for the teaching videos he produces, that I use to learn how to do my job. Gave me a career for sure. Also, one of his lads gave me a tour of the place. Wow! That place just inspired me. Its a hub of creativity and innovation and inspiration. But, it has such a traditional vibe too. Its a workshop not a factory. Thank you..

@Imsopathetic Год назад

If there was ever a project that should come with a warning from @styropyro this...this is it. Friends, don't tear your microwaves apart you'll probably die and it'll hurt the whole time it's happening, let craz...erm.. professionals do that for you. Cheers.
