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

The eleventh of 15 videos and over 2 hours of footage following Ben Crowe as he builds a custom guitar from start to finish. This series is an overview of the custom guitar-making process.

In this episode, Ben makes a solid Padouk backplate and carves the Bubinga top into a traditional Les Paul type shape using an angle grinder

Please Note: This video was filmed in 2012 and some of Ben's tools and methods may have changed over the years.
