Welcome to Crimson Guitars kzread.info... and Ben’s home workshop where he is currently building the modern multi-scale NEBULA 2.0 Guitar. In this episode, Ben begins preparing the sides and internal structure and has to make a jig to modify the Triton Spindle and Belt Sander into a thicknesser.
The original Nebula guitar featured here - • Burning Bridges and an... was so well received that it sold immediately...twice.
In this series, Ben will be building the new and improved Nebula 2.0 as a custom order. • Making a Modern Multi-... Different from the original, this guitar will be a multi-laminate neck, modern fanned fret, semi-hollow, electro-acoustic beauty. This series should be about 10-12(ish) episodes.

1:54 Making a side bending mold
6:02 Designing the internal structure
13:10 Planning the side pieces

    I posted this comment in the regular comment section, but I don't know if you will see it or not... But I figured if I posted here too, you'd have a better chance of seeing it!!! I love it!!! The 2020 guitar happened in "January and February before 2020 happened..." 7:40 LMAO 🤣🤣🤣 Actually, 2020 happened at 12:00 am January 1st!!! So... You want to change the name because the "2020 guitar" has a negative connotation to it.... I've got a great idea!!! The 2020 guitar will now be known as the Crimson D20. D20 stands for Double 20, or 2020. The D could also stand for 'Discoverer' which is another name for an Explorer. Or... The Crimson 2020 PrePan Guitar. I'm sure I don't have to iterate or even reiterate that PrePan means Pre Pandemic... I like the Crimson D20 the best!!! Or... Just go totally nuts and rename the 2020 guitar.... Drum roll please..... 🥁... The Coffee Killer !!! I love my mug!!!!

    I love watching you design the layout of your build on the fly, drawing freehand Euler spirals with greater accuracy than I could accomplish with a actual French curve to hand. And I am always heartened to hear a craftsman say that although a component or part of a build will never be seen it will still be made to the highest standard. It's that philosophy that ensures I return to this channel every time a new video is broadcast.

    @@CrimsonCustomGuitars exactly, I have been wondering about a solution as such as well, as I (together with a lot of your followers I assume) are limited in workspace. Making tools as multifunctional as possible sure makes this interesting. On the jig itself, I would add some kind of guidance that keeps your object close on the jig. Now it is quite a hassle to keep it in the correct place I imagine, which make it difficult to keep it always exactly at the same distance from the sander if your object should move away from the jig (not sure if I explain it very well)

    For the 2020 guitar name, I propose "Regulus". 1, because it resembles a space ship, fitting an astronomical name. 2, because it's full of straight lines. In Portuguese, the tool ruler is "régua". régua->regular->Regulus. I searched for it, regulus means little king. So, I guess that maybe regular can be related to straight lines in english, IDK. 3, the guitar is badass, it rules, the litlle king rules, tadah. 4, I like the name.

    Norma used to build Les Paul copies out of plywood back in the 1960s. The body was built of a thick plywood slab, and then a top piece of thin plywood was formed into shape and glued to the body with blocks of wood in between acting as spacers. I think the colloquial term for these is "bubble bodies." It's a cheap way of making a guitar, but from sanding down and refinishing one of them, I discovered that it actually looked really cool. The belly cut on the body in particular, as you might imagine. I guess it's not too dissimilar to what Gibson did with the Zoot Suit guitars many years later.

That thicknesser is a pretty standard design (Rigid in North America sells the exact same one) and having equipment with as many uses as possible is, as you know, a godsend in smaller shops! Even to start a PDF jig page would be super useful to aspiring builders!

I'm half way through another bass build and wanted to do something different for the bridge ... so I went with a bass Tune-o-matic (why not) ... all fixed and looks awesome, but now the action is too high.
