Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 and welcome to the fifth of 7 episodes in How to Build an Exotic Set Neck Guitar.
With a guitar as gorgeous as this, who needs a standard, boring backplate??? Next stop - shiny, shiny finish!
As well as all the fun and antics that April and Matt brought to our brand new teaching facilities, April also introduced Ben to the wonders of ISOtunes hearing protection, Bluetooth earbuds. Gone are the days when Ben would struggle to listen to his favourite podcast of the month through the tinny speakers of his phone. Now, not only is he protecting his hearing, but he will also never miss another word or refrain because of machine noise. Bonus - he is no longer annoying this editor who spends way too much time fixing the audio as it is...
