Welcome to Crimson Guitars HQ https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 and Ben's entry into the Great Guitar Build Off 2022 Invitationals. From designing the headstock and reinforcing the sides of this guitar body; to playing with an experimental finish 'like a kid in a sandbox'. Ben is progressing with his GGBO2022 Invitational entry.
We all know how this ends because you have the chance to own this guitar by the end of January 2023: https://www.greatguitargiveaway.com/product/ben-crowe-great-guitar-build-off-2022-invitational-entry/
