Ep 7 Shaping a Headstock with a Radius?! - Making a Modern Multi-Scale Electro Acoustic Guitar

Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonC... and Ben’s home workshop where he is currently building the modern multi-scale NEBULA 2.0 Guitar. In this episode, Ben decides to try something new with the headstock, that is, carve a radius into it. Also, wouldn't it be cool if the truss rod cover matched the fretboard inlay?

The original Nebula guitar featured here -    • Burning Bridges and an Invisible Tailpiece...   was so well received that it sold immediately...twice

In this series, Ben will be building the new and improved Nebula 2.0 as a custom order.    • Making a Modern Multi-Scale Guitar - Nebul...   Different from the original, this guitar will be a multi-laminate neck, modern fanned fret, semi-hollow, electro-acoustic beauty. This series should be about 10-12(ish) episodes.
