Ep 24 - Make a Modern Multi-Scale Electro Acoustic Guitar - Custom Bridge & Pickup Cavities, Oh My!

Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 and Ben’s home workshop where he is building the modern multi-scale NEBULA 2.0 Guitar. In this 'BEN-ultimate' episode, Ben is so close to the finish line, but he decides not to rush and make mistakes. He makes a custom Bridge and painstakingly cuts through the perfect galactic finish to make the custom pickup cavity.

In this series, Ben will be building the new and improved Nebula 2.0 as a custom order. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLp6z5fUMeeAbybji0M7hS0Xde3YckYxyh
Different from the original, this guitar will be a multi-laminate neck, modern fanned fret, semi-hollow, electro-acoustic beauty.
