Ep 5 of 5 - The Re- Edit of the 9 Hour Guitar Challenge! How to Make a Custom Guitar in 9 Hours

Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonC...

We are revisiting the 9 Hour Build, where Ben Crowe, our Master Luthier, challenged himself,
( he just won't learn!) to build a guitar in just 9 hours, over one day, with no breaks.

The original series was filmed and edited as close to live as possible which made for rather boring viewing, this edit, we hope, will prove to be both entertaining and educational.

In this episode, Ben is down to the wire (as usual) and panics a little but only goes over by about 6mins. He does, however, subsequently take the instrument apart and finesse all the components before it goes to a customer. The fully finished guitar is demonstrated by Phil Walker
