Welcome to Crimson Guitars HQ https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 and Ben's new studio set-up.
In this episode, Ben is using templates to work out where to cut the shape of the body and top pieces to maximise this beautiful and valuable piece of timber. He's also creating a multi-laminate neck blank with 7 sections separated with black veneer.
