Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 and welcome to a unique new Guitar Building Video from Crimson Guitars and the 2020 Build Challenge; in honour of this new decade - and in thanks for exceeding 200,000 subscribers here on YouTube!
To make this a serious challenge Ben asked Instagram what type of instrument he should attempt to build in just 20 hours and 20 minutes; from the body shape to the pick-up configuration, neck construction, and even the number of strings. Our wonderful Instagram followers did not disappoint - because they set one heck of a challenge!
Ben will be building a totally unique multi-scale fanned fret guitar with a through-neck design a hollow body and custom inlay!
At the end of January 2020, this instrument was raffled off to one of our fabulous customers.
In this episode, Ben rushes to get everything finished. He went over by only 6 mins. Well done Ben.
