Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 and welcome to the seventh episode of a crazy guitar building challenge with master luthier Ben Crowe from http://www.crimsonguitars.com Can Ben build a guitar from SCRATCH in just 6 hours?
Watch as Ben attempts to build an entire guitar in a 6 hour Marathon. The videos were filmed in real-time apart from short stops for battery and camera person changes. The series consists of 12 half-hour videos where you are able to watch everything as it happens. Enjoy the ride!
Despite the challenge and time constraints Ben is as ever treating this as a teaching exercise and you will hopefully learn many tips and tricks of the guitar building art form.
In this episode, Ben carves a full guitar neck at a very very quick pace!
