Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 and welcome to episode 10 of a totally crazy timed 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 is working hard to complete this instrument. Neck, frets, finish.....
