Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 and welcome to Crimson Guitars http://www.crimsonguitars.com and another moment of madness from Ben Crowe. Last week he decided to challenge himself, yet again. This time, the goal is to build a Crimson Guitars PAF solid body in 9 hours or less!
The cameras started rolling at 10:30am on Thursday morning and caught every glorious detail of the build. We now invite you to join him on this journey and follow minute by minute as this guitar comes to life.
Similar to the 12-hour build, (http://tinyurl.com/hhtmszo) this challenge takes place over a normal working day, so expect questions, distractions, and "team support" (heckling).
Thank you for watching this episode, we hope that you will continue watching and enjoy the entire series. We will be releasing two episodes every day at 10:30am and 6pm until the end of the build. With the final demo by Toby James and Phil Walker on Saturday. Enjoy!
In this episode, Ben begins carving the body and routing out the cavities.
