Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 and Ben’s home workshop where he is building the modern multi-scale NEBULA 2.0 Guitar. In this episode, Ben creates a delicate Watchmaking-inspired inlay and installs it as well as the tuners. Ben also tasked Sam at Crimson HQ to create a custom pickup worthy of this unique guitar.
In this series, Ben will be building the new and improved Nebula 2.0 as a custom order. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLp6z5fUMeeAbybji0M7hS0Xde3YckYxyh Different from the original, this guitar will be a multi-laminate neck, modern fanned fret, semi-hollow, electro-acoustic beauty.
