Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 and Ben’s home workshop where he is currently building the modern multi-scale NEBULA 2.0 Guitar. In this episode, the guitar comes together as Ben uses a generations-old technique to glue the back and sides together with Spool Clamps. He finishes carving the braces on the top and begins to figure out how to attach the neck.
The article on 'Voicing the Steel String Guitar' by John Greven http://www.grevenguitars.com/pdfs/VoicingtheGuitar.pdf
The original Nebula guitar featured here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbgwfWZXgBo was so well received that it sold immediately...twice.
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. This series should be about 10-12(ish) episodes.
