Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 and the full build of Ben Crowe's official entry into the Great Guitar Build Off 2020 Challenge https://www.greatguitarbuildoff.com/
In this episode of the full build, Ben is delighted with the result though as usual the final elements and assembly, such an important part of a build, seem to take so much time.
Has it all been worth it in the end? Is this a guitar you'd like to bid on at auction - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ben-Crowes-Guitar-Great-Guitar-Build-Off-/164368662267

Every guitar has to be completed and the video of the final guitar made public by Friday 4th September. After this, each guitar will be auctioned off and the proceeds will go to a Charity of the builder's choice. This is going to be an epic challenge!
