Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1
The last of 15 videos and over 2 hours of footage following Ben Crowe as he builds a custom guitar from start to finish. This series is an overview of the custom guitar-making process.
In this episode, Ben gives an overview of fret levelling, profiling, and polishing. As the fretboard is so important this is one of the most time-consuming of all the processes. The wiring completes this build.
Please Note: This video was filmed in 2012 and some of Ben's tools and methods may have changed over the years.
The challenge was to build an entire guitar in 24 working hours. Ben has a tendency to over-complicate things (ie making new pickup templates halfway through!) However, he only went over the time by 55 minutes!
We hope you enjoyed this series following this entire custom guitar build. We have many more videos going into each process involved in making a guitar, some in much greater depth.
Check out our other videos for more guitar building and luthiery tutorials and please share this video with everyone you know! If you like what we are doing we would also invite you to subscribe to our channel.
