Is that a brian may red special on the wall

I'd scrape ALL of that lacquer off all the fingerboard to begin with.

5:00 naughty Ben.

It's great that you do unconventional things but it would have been nice if you had explained the logic behind using hair spray.

"I'm not an expert on Gibson..." *Demonstrates the sharp eye for detail and the knowledge of a Gibson expert.*

Quite cool that it both looks and sounds Baroque

I absolutely LOVE that body shape- so much so that I don't know if there is anything you could do with finish work that will alter how much I lust after this instrument- but I'll let you know if anything does change. In the meantime, I must say how pleased I am that you've returned to Making! I'm looking forward to see what you're going to come up with next, just as I did when I first discovered your videos about 6 or 7 years ago. I've been having some possibly serious medical issues that have been preventing me from doing much of anything at all- creative or otherwise, so even though I do love watching your creative process, it does sting just a bit, knowing I'm not able to use the creative urges you have always inspired within this old woman's soul. So just think of me when you have your moments of impatience if they begin to mission-creep towards resenting the process- - - -and just stop it, already! oh, yeah.... #SKULLNAME - the skull's name is Dali. Don't ask me why- ask HIM, for crying out loud. I'm just passing on the message. Mad Love, as always :)

my fgn is the nicest feeling guitar I've played (others agree when they try it). Not saying curved frets are the reason why, but it certainly aint hurting :)

they are cool for beginner guitars on a budget....or for perfecting the stylish Pete Townshend technique of gifting the audience with some souvenirs

Love the new neck rest. Hairspray? Really? I can't believe I never thought of that. I mean, it makes sense. Artists use hairspray as a fixing agent over pencil and charcoal drawings, so it's proven to work.

Hairspray? WTF?

Awesome to see you back at it!!!! Love watching the builds!

Once up to pitch you can see the belly is lower than the rim across the f holes?

Your watch collection is amazing, Ben!

Ben - so glad you were diagnosed and are being treated for the ADHD. I'm 60 and was diagnosed as being "hyperactive" when I was about 7. Little did I know that yes, that IS ADHD. Fortunately, I developed coping mechanisms. When my son seemed to be mirroring my habits, he was tested and yes - he suffers from ADHD...and is being successfully treated. It's amazing how your life changes when you finally get this sorted. Sending good vibes your way...

Just watching you being one with the wood is so cool. Thanks for sharing. 🙏❤️✌️🎸😎

Now put a piezo pickup in it and it’ll be perfect. I just don’t hear a lot of projection from it as is.

I can’t help but think there is a silicone cookie cutter online that would do the job minus all the faff.

Amazing guitar and amazing finish. I would love a solid body electric version of the body.

A worthy cause in Worthy Farm.

Taste is subjective but, sorry Ben, that looks like umpteen people have put their dirty glasses down on it. The shape is not for me but, remember, taste is subjective.

The fanciest guitar I played was a modern eagle. A 3k guitar and that was YEARS ago. Equivalent today would be about 10k. It's the nicest guitar I've played but I would never by a PRS. I appreciate them but I just don't like the sound or feel.

Guitar of grace (elden ring themed guitar) 🔥🔥🤘 that looks amazing

Nice watch!

Yes yes yes!!! 🎉

Finally a Ben guitar build!!! 😁🤟

Is that the original "biltong chisel" ? 😍

Looks like something Prince would play. :)

baroque so dont fix it!!!!❤🎉😂

I need to shim my nut. I liked your idea of using a piece of ebony but, you did not say where to get the wood. Fortunately I found something that should work even if you need to shim a nut of lighter color. Stew Mac has binding that is.080 thick. In all sorts of shades. You can shim a lot of nuts with one strip of binding.

That was actual masterful playing. I hope you get him to play all future demo. It really proves the quality of the guitar/setup…

This right here… this is what crimson guitars has always been to me. No background music, just Ben ranting and talking while Making a guitar that no one has ever seen, and making me envious and wanting to push myself to create something extraordinary. Been here since the days of the old shed in the back yard and would love to see more videos just like this.

#namethattool looks like the chairs of a regisseur during filming. I thing #movieneckrest ore #ressigeur 🎉🎉

Good to see ben back building guitars. Good health sir

New tool name. African Ethiopian Tribes use a wooden neck rest called a Kambatta as a pillow

Please give us some names of famous guitarplayers that play your guitar. Please just one name.

4:24 I have been wondering how I should properly dispose of all the wood chips, sawdust, MoP dust, fret ends etc.? It shouldn't all just go in the kitchen bin to some landfill, right?

you will go in history as guitar building virtuoso Ben!

This looks amazing. I hope that wax can keep the hairspray sealed in, as moisture could cause it to reactivate and lift the finish. It's used as a "chipping medium" in miniature painting and I've used it myself to get an interesting finish on a bass I built.

This guitar reminds me a lot of the movie "Arrival"... all the broken and slightly blotchy rings

Wouldn’t hairspray breakdown with moisture? It’s not even close to being permanent. Also, the smell…. If it works with the wax, that’s amazing and once again, you’re thinking out of the box is inspiring.

Loved the series! Lots of fun

Flippin' Neck Rest!

11:30 is that glue squeeze-out I see between the top and upper side, that white glob? Additionally, I like the idea of the gold leaf rings, but perhaps a different shape, such as hexagons or ovals, would look less like "drinks left on a coffee table at a party" than do the circles.

Cant knock your innovation, but that gold finish is awful, I wont be watching any more of your vids, I cant be doing with all posturing and padding, Ive watched for the hand tools only build for months and its still not finished, keep innovating! These 4 films could have been one…

awesome! just like always! lml

Thanks for all the knowledge 🤘🤘🤘

It’s been long thought that end grain glue up is a very weak joint. Some guy on RUclips did very good video debunking that idea. One that dear for a very long time. Not to say that this neck joint needed end grain glue anyway.
