You are an amazing artist. with no fear to go for it. Really inspiring. Thanks a lot Sir.🙋🏽♂
Just bought me and my stepdad a hat for Father’s Day
Contour shaped brass pickup surrounds would look awesome to match the contour fret cutouts
Oh my good God!
That bridge configuration!
A masterpiece.
Pete 🏴
thank you.
Great montage, but watching this instead of the original series doesn't convey how much of a rollercoaster this build was.
I remember thinking "man, he ruined it" every time you added some detail only to be completely amazed at how stunning it turned out (and I'm one of those who suggested a green finish too).
Great job Ben!
Thank you Federico, this guitar was actually very very mentally draining.. the first time I've actually considered just calling it a day on for years! I do love it though when all is said and done.. thank you for watching :)
That’s is the most artistic and favorite guitar ever. Reminds me of the one off luxury cars. So many body lines and cutouts. Love it, bro! Keep going!
my friend u had so many chances to screw this up but it is actually one of the sweetest looking and definitely one of the most detailed guitars ive ever seen. wonderful things u are doing
Those short, precise hands movements, while cutting wood shows me a deepest and tight strength luthier experience and knowledge. Bravo!
Thak you. Appreciate that.
I found your channel in the last couple of months, and I've practically run through all of your videos. Not only are you an extremely talented luthier, you make extremely entertaining content. I would do many things to get a bass from you.. maybe one day!
“I am telling myself to stop messing with it…”
Good Sir you are to be commended for many things if not the amount of moments like these at 6.50min.
This is outstanding craftsmanship, ASTOUNDING craftsmanship!!
This is why CZcams is still good 👌
I like this kind of video. Quick "my 2 cents" : the build series are great, you explain the thought process for designing the guitar in detail, you explain the build details, the problems you run into, etc, and that's awesome. But *since you DO explain all the things* , it drags the actual building out a lot, so, a "recap" video with all of the discussion/rambling/chicken cameos cut out is really good to have. Not instead of, on top of the actual build series. Like now. So yeah keep it up :)
Thank you MJ, this is exactly how I think about it.. 2 separate 'products' from the same build. we're working on the technique/process of making the super-edits but there will be a LOT more of them going forward. Thanks for watching :)
I watched each episode of the Shred series as soon as it came out. For some reason I thought this particular build was uniquely fascinating, and I couldn't wait to see the next episode. Lovely to see this complete build video.
Thank you Spaggy Marbles, this was a hard build and one that changed a LOT during the process but I love it now. the angled sides in particular are something that need to be on another build soon, so comfortable and cool looking imo
Using a fountain pen to paint a guitar. Damn I expect led nothing less. I love how resourceful you can be while keeping your creativity. So inspiring.
How did I miss this beauty? I've been sick for the last year or so. Spent more time in the hospital than at home. This guitar is so beautiful. I hope I can find all the videos as you went along and watch each part of the build.
Incredibly satisfying! You and twoodfrd are my two looping hands-on-the-instrument yt channels not only for craftsmanship but your personae, as well. Appreciate your work, dude.
:) Thank you, I am a fan of Woodford's too, he is a great repair person and inspired me to do more work of that ilk.
Check out Rosa string works too, a different approach, to beautiful instruments
Checkout driftwood guitars.
I'd like to add, Unquendor Guitars to the list of cool CZcams builders to check out. He makes really high end beautiful guitars.
I wouldn't even play that thing... Out of respect! Truly incredible craftsmanship
The polish shine on your chisels impresses the heck out of me sir.
:) You are looking at the fruits of many many years of sharpening practice! It worked out long term didn't it? Thanks for watching!
A cool idea for your headstock would be to get your logo or the word crimson done in crimson acrylic and epoxy them into a headstock cutout.
Love this design... the materials, the shape, fretboard, custom bridge and super creative paint/leaf schema.
it was a close run thing at several points, but I am very happy with how this one turned out, thanks for watching!
A masterpiece of craftsmanship! The bridge blew my mind when I realized you were fabricating it by hand. Respect! Best Regards and Best Wishes!
A re-run! I truly hope there is another video today, had hopes and wishes for exciting and new
Your innovative guitar builds are vital to the progress of guitar building.
thank you. Ben
had that been headless, i might just have been the most beautiful guitar i've ever seen! please Ben, make it happen and i'll throw you my order STAT!
Drop us am email and I will build it for you.. fixed bridge or trem?
Ok, so… I’ve been watching a long list of builds online…
This quite frankly might be the first one I’ve seen that dropped my jaw. Phenomenally brilliant idea’s & attention to detail. This is also the only build I’ve seen where someone scalloped a fretboard like me lol. However, I love the added color. Fantastic job!
You truly are a absolute master of your craft. It's a pleasure and privilege to watch you create these masterpieces my friend
It is indeed incredible piece of art !!! Just love the way it turned out in the end.
That was a bit of a roller coaster to watch .
This edit is very cool for those who don’t have the time to watch and enjoy the whole series, but both are great to watch ! Awesome Job Ben, and awesome edit job to the team !
the bridge.. and the foil thing.... awesome.. did not expected.
Probably my fave guitar of all time. Love it!!!
It is GORGEOUS !!! I can't get bored of your builds. Every new guitar is an amazement. Glad to be able to see all of this !
Thank you :)
The mad scientist/artist strikes again! Amazing work!
:) Thanks!
I watched the whole series, but this was a great refresher on how AWESOME this guitar is. The scratches on the sides and back are so special, as well as the color and copper leaf on the front of course.
Glad you enjoyed it David, thank you, I've wanted a super-edit for ages so I can kind of re-live it myself!
Man, this truly is ART. I don't know how else i could say it! You totally made a piece of art, unique and beautiful!
Ben's hardware design's are become my favourite parts of his builds. There's such a vacuum of blandness with modern guitar hardware, that I think Crimson should put their own into production! One of my favourite builds 👌
My goodness man… watching all your skill sets come together in one build is absolutely mesmerizing… I could not look away, bravo sir… bravo.
Ben, I can't imagine you NOT grinning at the end of every single working day. The work you produce is just wonderful. It really is. Thanks very much.
You're the best, thank you.. and yes, most days are good days when you get to play with builds like this! Thanks for watching!
Hiiii
I think this kit will be my 2023 build! Absolutely beautiful can't wait to let my imagination lose on my own.
Oh, this is so amazing. So many details that it is a true masterpiece. Great, great work. Thanks for sharing. One day I'll build a guitar myself.
the videos on this channel have given me a renewed appreciation for so many things: woodworking, the craftsmanship that goes into instruments and even (as silly as it sounds) just lines. And that guitar right there is a piece of artwork in more ways than one.
Thank you very much for such positive comments. DC
As soon as you added the stain, I went nooooo……ohhhhh yes ….as it evolved.
The sound is amazing.
Thank you.. I went through the same rollercoaster as I was building it! What a ride!!
It was nice to see the Shred build again with all the innovative ideas it incorporated. And loads of chisel use as well- I could watch you chiselling for hours!
lol, I'll try and get more chiselling in the next build.. ah, wait a second.. the next build is a 'Hand Tool Only Build'!! bring on the chisels :)
@@CrimsonCustomGuitars Marvellous!
the acoustic jack. splendid . I always use them
Next stop is to put the pots next to the jack on the edge.
Cool idea
it is a great idea for push/push pots
what a freaking cool looking guitar. Cleanly made and shaped. Fantastic workmanship!
Thank you kindly!
Awesome build. This channel is what inspired me to start building my own guitars after all these years of playing.
Rock on @nhlkoho I am always happier after seeing a comment like this, thank you!
Fabulously fascinating Ben.
Luv it. Superb editing, detailing etc. If you are passionate & truly enjoy your days, you never actually go to work because its another play day, enjoy !! Superb.
I gotta say it. You are a perfectionist. And it's GREAT!!! Love your creativity.
That...that is the most attractive guitar I have EVER seen. Hands down. What I wouldn't give to own that...
I would love to make you a version..
When I can afford one you will be the first to know! 😃
the amount of work in this piece is insane
Simply amazing..this guitar Is beautifull in every aspect..love the shape and the design..you are a master! congratulations and greetings from Italy!
That is truly an innovatively RADICAL axe, Mr. Crimson...kudos!
I followed your old video on copper leafing, and it gave me the confidence to have a go at doing my kitchen backsplashes with it. Worked very well and gave a lovely lustred finish. Thank you!
Hey, I really love it when people take things I do and apply them to utterly non-guitar related projects, thanks for letting me know!
Whoa!!! You work super fast!!!!! Awesome, luv it. 👍 I'v done many a leaf jobs on motorcycles, cars, etc.
Absolutely fantastic! Brilliant work here!
WHEN THE GENIUS MEETS MADNESS, THEY RIDE THE MACHINE OF WISDOM AND MASTERPIECES COME OUT
if they are lucky and everything works out, but thank you :)
You are amazing. So much knowledge and willing to share your experience. Thank you sir.
Wow !! Just amazing, you are so talented !
it is a killer guitar ben . it inspired me to go out to my shop and start a new build. thanks ben
That stain job was INSANE! So awesome
thank you, it was a bit of a slog but I am happy with how she came out.
btw. have you entered the raffle? this guitar could be yours! SHRED RAFFLE to raise money for GGBO 2022

@@CrimsonCustomGuitars I have now :) thanks Ben!
Dude! This is great! I’m already building 2 212 cabs, guess I need to add a custom guitar to my list of “to dos.”
it is a natural progression, I'd love to see what you end up making! Thanks for watching :)
Holy cow that was incredible. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Glad you enjoyed it, it was my absolute pleasure!
That guitar was fucking awesome! Your craftsmanship is simply stunning.
I used to religiously watch your videos couple years ago and stumbled across this one. Every new idea on this guitar made me cringe, then you executed said idea and turned me into a believer. You are truly a mad creative genius , most impressive my good sir 👏
lol. thank you.. and tbh I was right there with you.. normally just after the point-of-no-return I wanted to take it all back lol!
Such a gifted builder! Thanks for sharing.
I already liked the shape at the stard but this is probably the most pretty guitar I've ever seen so far😆✨
Anyone that wants to understand why custom guitars cost what they do should be made to watch this video. If they still don't understand afterward, I don't know what to tell them. This is a lifetime of experience and skill distilled into less than 20 minutes. I'm honestly surprised you didn't make the pickups, too XD (or did you. You did say "ta da!" when showing them) Amazing guitar!
Wow the final product is amazing -I love it
Ben (and Talitha), love the content, but I'm running out of videos on the CZcams to watch. Any chance of more videos? Hell, I'll even edit them if it speeds it up!!! (It's actually my main job). I think I've watched 90% of your content in the past month.
I used to be a pro sound engineer and producer, with a bit of guitar tech-ing on the side. Your content has re-ignited my love of the guitar, and I'm seriously considering borrowing a family member's wood working space and entering the next GGBO with a bang. What about an LP body, inlaid with LED lit perspex butterflies down the neck and across the body? Or a recreation of an inverted Crimson Guitar's Logo with the outline in LED lit perspex (I like playing with electronics, and I promise to properly shield it all!)?
My bank manager is going to HATE seeing Crimson guitars show up on my statement!!!
I hadn't seen a build video of yours in a while...this is a whole new level of madness...seriously, an astonishing level of beauty and craftsmanship. There seems to be no limit to what is possible. I have suggestions for a crazy unique build...
The sound is impeccable. Love the look also.
I really admire how much you use hand tools! A ton of build channels use so much equipment when manufacturing a guitar that it’s almost like mass producing
thank you Simon. I see why they do it, and hell.. I will also be playing with laser cutters etc soon.. but, in general I would rather use tools that almost anyone can find and learn to use with ease
Utterly beautiful Ben. Yet again your craziness and meddling have created a beautiful guitar🤘🏻
Thank you Andy, I appreciate this very much
Your Craftmanship and attention to detail is second to none. id love you to build me a bass
I love the overly complicated insanity you subject yourself to. Awesome work, custom bridge and unique finish choices.
Oh man, this is just simply perfect
You are truly a master of your craft thank you
This guy isn’t a guitar builder.
He makes art that you happen to be able to play music on.
And this beauty is now being raffled. It's my favourite. DC
This build started off as an almost undefined project for a metal guitar and grew over several corrections to an outstanding guitar where all elements beautifully tie together. Not pure metal but rather a piece of art!
I think this is your best build so far! Just phenomenal!😍👌🏼👏🏼💪🏼
thank you, you are too kind :)
The amount of talent this man posses
That bridge is amazing, i love it
What an absolutely stunning guitar! And your workshop is incredible! Love your work mate ! 🤘🤘
Thank you, I appreciate your support!
Great workmanship... love it
You sir, are an art-eest! Magnificent work!! Brilliant!
Thank you so much 😀
What I love about this build is that a multiscale shredder guitar really isn’t my style, but the design, artwork and craftsmanship you put into this guitar would cause me to buy this in a heartbeat (if I had the money 😉) truly and awesome guitar Ben, this one speaks to me. Don’t be mad if I steal some of these ideas on my own build 😁
beautiful shape for a multi scale guitar, for a 5 or 6 strings bass, will be mind blowing
I would love to turn this into a bass!
Great work! Nice shape!
man oh man i love the design so much
Your life ! My friend you have a great life. I love the finish.
It’s a dream, wow. What a design ❤
Beautiful.
Again very innovative, very impressive especially the bridge/saddles
Thank you very much!
That's a freaking AMAZING guitar and I was a CNC machinist so I loved the custom bridge you made
I play drums, not guitar, but I cannot tell you how much I love that guitar. I want it, I need it, I would learn to play guitar simply to justify owning it.
Love that guitar! And love watching what you come up with.👍
Most beautiful build I've seen.
Thank you very very much!
A gorgeous guitar. Beautiful craftsmanship and a stunning result. A lovely timbre and tone to the sound as well. I wish I could own it, or at least enjoy playing it. Thank you.
come visit Crimson HQ one day and at the very least you can play her :)
You build unique and Stunningly beautiful Instruments Master Luthier
Fantastic work. Golden hands
i love the way u made the headstock..
what an amazing guitar, your a true craftsman
MASTERPIECE!!The hand craft MONSTER!!!
What a great video. What an amazing guitar. Love that bridge.
Thank you kindly, I really appreciate this. Have a good evening.
