The look with the aluminium top really reminds me a lot more of the Star Trek logo, to be honest, but I still really like the look of it and I do see how you got there with the Star Wars topic. The one gripe I have is that it's a bit of a waste of that beautiful rosewood top.
Another amazing edit! A shame work got in the way of following most of this session live. Talitha is the ideal producer, the sibling banter is always great and her voice is so delightful. Bring on the next session!
In Tony's top tips for today, I had a thought. Given that you use Blackmagic cameras, I assume you also use DaVinci Resolve? That being the case, I know (because I'm an audio pro who also uses Resolve) that it supports pro-grade audio plugins. You should point your investigating feet at Waves noise reduction plugins. X-noise and Z-noise in particular will blow you away. Effectively single-ended noise reduction that can eliminate specific noises by teaching them what the ambient noise sounds like and then using phase-nulling in the same way your noise-cancelling headphones work. Truly excellent for demolishing air noise and other ambient stuff. If your stream platform also supports VST or AU plugins, you can set up presets that have the noise of all your power tools pre-nulled.
I really like the look of the guitar, it's different, futuristic and very cool, but still very comfortable when in playing position. I assume there'll be some contouring on the back. In all the years I've been watching various builds, I can't ever remember seeing any other injuries- the sure sign of a master craftsman!
Always a pleasure to watch an expert artist and craftsman at work! I began making guitars a couple of years ago, largely based on what I learned from you. Thank you!
I made a cool bezel for a car dash cluster out of aluminum. I took a orbital sander and fine grit sandpaper to the aluminum and left swirls in it. I painted it red and it had an amazing effect.
I think no more aluminum anything because when you say alaminium I want to drive my work truck of a bridge. Hahahaha... love the show been watching for 4 years and built 3 guitars with you as teacher. Thanks BC
Watching you make the template for the pick-up cavities, reminded me of the template the Next Level Carpentry made for the hand holes in his stools a couple off weeks ago, have a look at how he made the template as it’s one of the best template making techniques I’ve seen and would guarantee that the pickup cavities were perfectly aligned.
Hi Ben, its Ben wiriting ;-) I love the idea of live building - the guitar looks awesome so far!!! A couple of months ago you where talking about a plywood build-are we going to see some sort of built of that kind? Greetings from Germany
See my comment above. Aluminium oxide is clear. It is the basis of sapphire. In my Cambridge lab, I used to use sapphire discs to calibrate one of my instruments, & disappointingly, they looked like small discs of glass. It is only the presence of trace impurities that give the colours ( Ruby = Chromium , Sapphire = Ti & Fe ).
Not trying to sound rude or say you’re doing anything wrong but You could have chain drilled the aluminum with a smaller drill bit to remove it then you could have used the forcner bit for just the wood.
Hi Ben, just a little question for me. I have watch a lot of your videos( very inspirational for me... I plan to build my own small workshop. I'll probably se you o GGBO 23). Do you draw other than plans and templates ? I mean, you must draw (the way you handle you pencil and blablabla...) ! Elves, dragons, whatever !! Please draw a piece and show us !!!!
Pausing at 8 minute-ish to comment... Drilling the alu.... how would cutting the alu with a fine saw (multi-cutter/zeesaw or what ever it's called). Then proceed with normal routing when the alu is "orf" ?
Re the aluminium front plate oxidizing in future; it won't. It already IS oxidized . Aluminium metal is SO reactive, that, unless you are working in a vacuum, like space, AS SOON as you cut it, & expose it to atmospheric oxygen it reacts to form aluminium oxide. Not in an hour or so, a minute, or even a second. Pretty much in tenths of a nanosecond after a fresh Al surface is exposed, it is gone again. The anodizing process is a specific further process, where a thicker film ( porous, like honeycomb ) is grown up on the surface, using electrolytically generated oxygen, in a bath of sulphuric acid, or sulphuric acid / potassium dichromate [ 'chromic acid ' ]. If you store Al in particularly damp /humid conditions, you can get minute 'cauliflowers' of Aluminium oxide forming on the surface, but these can be just wiped away. Chas Setterfield.

While I do enjoy watching Ben work and the guitars and everything. It seems he is getting into a habit of starting a guitar then it goes in to limbo. Currently he has 3 that he has either started or in the case of his daughters guitar started redoing then went to something else without finishing it. There was suppose to be another live stream yesterday for the BODA FRETT build and it did not happen. Also no live stream on Sunday like there has been for the last few months. While I realize that life happens and things change but a notice that there is or isn't going to be a Live stream would have been nice. Does not even have to give a reason why just that it is or isn't going to be happening. I'll get off my high horse now. If you are unwell Ben I understand and hop you get well soon.
Hey Robert, I have actually been really ill but am starting to feel better. Should be back to normal next week. There were supposed to be posts across the board saying that I wasn't able to do any of the live streams, I am sorry that that didn't happen as fully as I would have liked.
@@CrimsonCustomGuitars I was truly hoping that the issue was not because you were Ill. The main thing is that you take care of yourself and get well. I know how it feels to be sick. I have been fighting a cough and sinus infection now for about a month. I don't know why the notifications for youtube don't work for me I am subscribed to a few different channels and have activated the notification function on each of them but do not get any notification on any of them. Get well take care and hope to see you when you are well
Not sure if this has been mentioned already somewhere in the live comments or in these comments below 👇… if this guitar is being named Boba Frett then another build needs to be done with a “ Mando-Mandolin “ ( or something like that ) 😎🎸😎
LITTLE GAME FOR ALL THE VIEWERS: take a look at a map of the Netherlands for about 10 minutes to study the SHAPE of the country. NEXT: Draw a rough representation of what you remember of the shape as quick as possible. NOW: Compare your drawing with the metal part of the body of the guitar and tell me I'm not seeing things... YES, I am a (way too) proud owner of a complete set of canon Stormtrooper armor (btw; also UK made/based; RS Propmasters, no affiliation nor sponsored). Yes, I'm Dutch. But is that enough to call this guitar Star Wars inspired? And how the heck did Ben know I'm a Dutch Star Wars fan? Usually I'm amazed about the stuff Ben knows, but this is a bit creepy. ; )
Since you obviously didn't like " Antoinette " or " Robespierre " for the name, how about "Madame Guillotine" ? Like it or not, that would be most appropriate name for it 'cause it really, has the shape of it...as I said before, Metal Heads would love it !!! No? Have it your way then....:-))
@@stevenarmstrong5364 Understood....I've seen that man making some really nice instruments . This one is not one of them, despite the immaculate handy work. It does look more like a guillotine than anything " Star Wars"... Still, almost everything he makes is pretty good . I say " almost", because I've seen him making some not so good or practical guitars. And that's ok...
Tonya two syllable's .... why does anyone feel the need to shorten this ? Tonya you shall remain to me. Just saying. Unless of course you prefer The Crimson Queen ?

No one speaks English quite as badly as us Brits!
South African influence??
That guitar has got something... The x wing factor. The shape of that guitar could be as iconic as the flying v

I love these. Ben's commentary seems much more engaged now that he's talking to a live audience
Another amazing edit! A shame work got in the way of following most of this session live.
Talitha is the ideal producer, the sibling banter is always great and her voice is so delightful.

May the fourth part be with you.

Geez, I love your collection of watches!! A different one every episode!
Funny Intoduction: Mr. make it complicated "complains" That his audience made it complicated for him. Love it.
Headstock looks as if it could be used as a bottle opener lol 😆 great build so far.
big assed bottle! Bring it on.
I made a cool bezel for a car dash cluster out of aluminum. I took a orbital sander and fine grit sandpaper to the aluminum and left swirls in it. I painted it red and it had an amazing effect.

Very nice Ben .
"welcome to day 4 of this one day build"
ya, that tracks
I think I will be finishing on day 8.. tomorrow.
"We distracted Ben" I don't think "we" are needed to distract Ben. He's like the dog in the movie Up. "Squirrel!!!"
I am really enjoying the editing of these videos. Kudos to the editor!
Thank you. DC
Watching you make the template for the pick-up cavities, reminded me of the template the Next Level Carpentry made for the hand holes in his stools a couple off weeks ago, have a look at how he made the template as it’s one of the best template making techniques I’ve seen and would guarantee that the pickup cavities were perfectly aligned.
I have superglued many a cut, never used accelerator. Just pinch and hold, dude--pinch and hold!
I love this series. I'm also a huge supporter of #alwaysbelearning! If you're not learning something you are learning nothing. 😁Peace & Love!
40:40 some beatiful guitars there. especially 1,2 and 4 top row.
You Should jewel or engine turn the aluminum top.
Bond Guitars is not available, it’s a custom guitar brand in Portland, Oregon. You’ll probably love knowing that his full name is Benjamin Bond. 🙂
Shaping up to becoming a gorgeous ax!
that shape is really growing on me - i like the multiple layers
You need a electric scroll saw to speed that up. Variable speed so you an do metal as well
Loved hearing the belt sander, super glue accelerator story 😂
Welcome to day 4 of a 1 day build. X
Love the dust collection on the Triton router! I’m also trying to figure out how to connect a standard size dust hose to mine!
Hi Ben, long time watcher from southern California. Could you please add a short list of hardware and p'ups used in a project.
I would call her Patience because, well... Ben.
Have you ever thought of selling prints of your guitar design sketches? I'd hang them on my wall.
Awesome looking guitar !!!
Looks nice, can't wait to hear it👏
Hi Ben, its Ben wiriting ;-) I love the idea of live building - the guitar looks awesome so far!!! A couple of months ago you where talking about a plywood build-are we going to see some sort of built of that kind? Greetings from Germany
19:13 Alumininium oxide is actually really clear. Chances are it's already formed since the last time you sanded it.
See my comment above.
Aluminium oxide is clear. It is the basis of sapphire. In my Cambridge lab, I used to use sapphire discs to calibrate one of my instruments, & disappointingly, they looked like small discs of glass. It is only the presence of trace impurities that give the colours ( Ruby = Chromium , Sapphire = Ti & Fe ).
Like your videos! Why cant you built a gibson guitar les paul or flying v and se how close you can come?is it so hard as they say,,,,
An oscillating multi tool with a plunge blade would have been ideal for cutting out the bulk of the aluminium over the pickup cavities.
It seems that an oscillating cutter would have worked well to remove most of the aluminium for the pickup cavities.
I just noticed the pickups have "Maid in Japan" on the back!
Ben, have you seen the Shaper Origin router no templates required... Wizardry
And meanwhile you can use those pickup cavities to store your action figures
Do you use a special router bit for aluminum? I'd think one made for wood would be ruined in short order.
Not trying to sound rude or say you’re doing anything wrong but You could have chain drilled the aluminum with a smaller drill bit to remove it then you could have used the forcner bit for just the wood.
Ok no glove but perhaps a gauntlet to protect his hand
Lots of sacrifices this session..

Tanya nickname: Tanny/Tannie, Tony/Toni, T-nizzle or T-bone
Ben why don't you try staining the bottom curve electric blue like the millennium falcon
Lekker boet yebo fundi
I hope rosewood got the vote . There is possibly a much more star war theme with the metal but rosewood is better looking. Just say'n
Lol I did a similar thing with super glue except instead of accelerator I used baking soda and yeah it burnt like nobodies business
1:35 What about "Beige"?
Talitha has wonderful disction, she should be doing commercials
Super cool, but i worry a bit about the longevity of that fretboard. Read a few horror stories. Maybe someone can chip in.

Ok, quit saying “al you mini yum” Ben! It’s pronounced beskar!!!!!!
GooD)))))))
Loving the build,did Ben by any chance get to check out the white bait kauri pics i had emailed?

Why could you not have cut out the pick up holes before sticking the metal top to the body?
Just a quick question: If you remove part of the headstock so that it's only two prongs will they be strong enough to hold the strings long term?
I thought this was a custom build for Luke Skycaster.
Why do u want to come to England damp and cold when u can have beautiful animals and hot sun shine

Considering the name of the guitar is Boba Frett will you be including the Mythasaur signet on the guitar?
© ?
I really like this bridge system, but haven't been able to find any information on it. Does anyone know who makes this?
Its the headless trem system by rivieragear, they have a few short vids here on yt
Not sure if this has been mentioned already somewhere in the live comments or in these comments below 👇… if this guitar is being named Boba Frett then another build needs to be done with a “ Mando-Mandolin “ ( or something like that ) 😎🎸😎
Ben. Where is Ep. 3 of my daughter hates.... and her holey guitar?
On the way. DC
What happened to travel guitar build?1
Where can I get one of those fretboards? I have tried searching without success!
The company went out of business some years ago. DC

Leave the head on and utilise it for a suspended crimson logo.
