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 :)

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!

The polish shine on your chisels impresses the heck out of me sir.

“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 KZread is still good 👌

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.

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 :)

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.

Ben (and Talitha), love the content, but I'm running out of videos on the KZread 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!!!

Again very innovative, very impressive especially the bridge/saddles
