Welcome to Crimson Guitars HQ https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 and Ben's new studio set-up.
In this episode, Ben is working on the body of this guitar build, using the first chunk of 42-year-old Swamp Kauri. This is going to be a hollow body guitar, which means that Ben has to turn this £10K piece of timber into Shavings!
This guitar is a commission and the client has requested that Ben use these shavings, embed them in resin, and build a guitar for charity. Comment below with suggestions - what should Ben build with these Shavings & Resin?
