i'm only at 6min in. why not add a few extra strips of veneer where the strap button would be? say like 5 layers, but as they move into the guitar, make then increasingly shorter so that it's thickest right where the nut screws into the body and then it thins out as u move away from that point so u get a nice curve effect when they are sanded down. maybe even use different strains of wood so that u get a nice alternating color like u did with the f hole and such. i think that would add a nice design element and add the much desired structural stability u were wanting. ok on with the rest of the video!
I know a lot of watches have a bump-out where the knob (to wind the watch or set the hands - aka the crown) goes into the case of the watch. I kinda wanted the strap button to be the crown, with knurling and all of that. Then you could have had a little bump that would have added a lot of strength to the bottom of the guitar.
It’s been sometime since I’ve let myself enjoy some crimson content. Personal reasons, life had me down for awhile. Anyway it’s so awesome to see you still doing things that surprise me lol. Look forward to the finished product. :)
Supreme texture and color Ben! I rarely comment on videos anymore, but the beauty of this treatment of this guitar moved me. I can't wait to see what the next episode of this build brings. Happy New year to you and yours from me and mine in the USA!
I feel like this could have been a skateboard inspired build. And could have had the same result with the deck grip tape, seems very similar and self adhesive
I love the look of this, but I have to ask - how sharp is the grit on this after coating with flashcoat? I'm guessing you could still give yourself quite a graze if you weren't careful! Gives a whole new meaning to "shredding on that guitar" 🤣
I know it's past the point now where it matters, however I'd have bought a bunch of tickets had I been able to. Site wouldn't allow me to change my password to login. Anyway, I do like this build. Good work.

The great guitar giveaway website is not working properly on the iPad, iPhone, and Android phone. The landing page is flickering and glitching every second. I’ll try on my windows laptop tonight, but when I tried to log in on my home PC two weeks ago, windows defender and Malware Bytes both flagged the site and said the certificate was invalid. A month ago I had no problem bidding on guitars through the website, but now that the site was updated it’s been an uphill battle…
Hey Ben - did you by any chance happen to keep the timber from the core of this body? Tom mentioned the idea of doing a collaboration when I was emailing him about the marking knife, and the GGBO build guitar would seem like an interesting choice for material... (Not as interesting as the swamp Kauri, but still!) - Ian (Ronald Knives)
Hi, watch designer here. I Love the look of the guitar so far. If you ever wanted to do this project in reverse (guitar inspired watch), let me know. Cheers!
When you said that "you suck" because you always wait until the deadline it made me a bit sad. I hope it was just a joke. You definitely don't suck, you are just you. Or maybe in looking too far into a passing comment. Either way, love the content
On the plus side, if the Guitar doesn't work then you've created one helluva sanding block!

Looking good Ben. Fill the centre of the guitar with water and you can call it "wet and dry".
"Not even my smallest." Was not expecting that from you today, Ben.
Holly crap Ben, you never cease to surprise and inspire.
You could also use Garnet blasting media looks pink but with a finish coat would go to more of a red colour.
That finish is going to be beautiful...

Ben that body is looking sick... Amazing how much with went into that skeletal frame...
BEN you are a 4 year old in a old man's body ( never grow up )!!!!!!!!!!! just grow wiser!
Happy New all

Those mini handplanes ! I love "em !
That is basically the procedure we used to put the non-skid deck coating on our Coast Guard boats but we used a heavy epoxy base coat.
Nice. You've flocked a guitar with grit.
Supreme texture and color Ben! I rarely comment on videos anymore, but the beauty of this treatment of this guitar moved me. I can't wait to see what the next episode of this build brings. Happy New year to you and yours from me and mine in the USA!
Thank you and wishing you and your family a prosperous 2023 from all at Crimson
Neurodivergent solidarity, Ben 🤘✊
Without a clear coat of some type with enough mil thickness that guitar will tear up everything it touches.
I feel like this could have been a skateboard inspired build. And could have had the same result with the deck grip tape, seems very similar and self adhesive
Happy New Year Ben to you and your family.
Same to you!
I'm glad that entire process didn't wear you down... you know, 'cos it's abrasive... :) (I'll get my coat)

happy newyear 🙂
Same to you
Honey! I’m out of sandpaper, can you bring my guitar?
His pencil and knife at 4:31 made a electric saw sound. Where can I buy one that comes with that noise?
Happy newyear Ben
Same to you!
why not use Tolex spray, or spray undercoating-gravel guard, Rhino hide so many options
For a second here, I forgot your plan and thought you were gonna go with a centre block and have a jm shaped Yamaha silent guitar 😂
Did I see this video before …..?.? Or is this a scary dejavu
Why do I feel like I have watched this before ?
Isn't like glue and powder called flocking ?
I know it's past the point now where it matters, however I'd have bought a bunch of tickets had I been able to. Site wouldn't allow me to change my password to login.

Can adding a tailpiece add some strenght?
Without glue, is there any worry of warping, even slightly enough to cause buzz from the string vibration?
You mean buzzing from the top vibrating against the side? I believe the answer is yes but it shouldn't be hard to fix.

Hi. I would love that. Please will you email me at office@greatguitarbuildoff.com Ben
Is this a repost ? im confused
He did put out a full end-to-end build video a week or two ago, but it was not nearly as in depth as these videos have been.
@@HandlebarWorkshops oh..that explains it all 😅
What's become of Badger? 😞
I was wondering the same thing. I guess Sophia (Sofia?) is the new Badger. That’s gonna require a change in hair color.
Whenever you say "Strat" I have to remind myself that you are not talking about a Stradivarius Violin.
Watching to much random luthier content. 😂
A kid in a sandbox? 😹💩😹💩 Kidding! 🤘👍
