Watching Dave Simpson play this guitar 2 plus years on...what a beast, it surely has to be one of Ben's finest to date simply a stunning looking guitar.
One of your best builds, and honestly, the only use of gold hardware I’ve ever dug! Thanks for the vid series!
Gold hardware is a little polarising, I've often mixed it up with black to minimise the effect but, well.. this one I had to go all out and I am glad I did! Thank you for your support Michael! B
agreed first for me as well, stunning
@@CrimsonCustomGuitars What kind of hardware. Specifically the string through part connected to the strap button?
@@WeWokeTheGiants FYI I think it's called a Trapeze. ✌️🇦🇺
Just when you think you've seen all the amazing guitar builts on tube... man o man..speechless.
I'm not a guitar player, I'm a drummer for literally 45 years, but if i ever hit the lottery here in the states I'd have a room full of guitars I love and I would have this one in the collection for sure. It is simply amazing.
I think someone messed up in editing. They left off the part where you announced that you were gifting the guitar to me.
That's because it was gifted to me already. Sorry bud.
I might send you pictures of me holding it, as a consolation prize.
@@Phoenix_cataclysm_in_2040 Ya think so do you? The cheek of the pair of you when you know it is sitting next to me at home as we share a bottle of wine.
@@LRBerry Non of it, i bought it.....
How much??
@@musik4life24 $3.50
I like these super edits cos I can show my non-luthier/non-guitar obsessed friends without them having to sit through the whole 5-10 hours of episodes. They still get an appreciation of the immense Craftsmanship. Personally I still love watching it one episode at a time 😍
Hey Ryan, thank you, and thank you for showing your friends, though I wonder how you gain friends outside of the guitar world!? We're always going to do super edits from now on.. they are easy enough to do and worth the time imo. Thanks for watching! B
This is the most besutiful guitar I’ve seen.
A thrue luthier.
Respect from Norway. 🇳🇴
Well. That has to be the sickest build I've seen anywhere.
I’ve watched this about six times since it was first completed. I still don’t know of any other guitar on earth Id rather have just for looking at. Once again sir I say to you, amazing. This thing could hang as art beside the Mona Lisa and not be out of place.
Thank you very much, you have made my day! B
I meant every word. If I were a man of means I would own this guitar somehow. Love the videos man. Keep it up.
That build is extremely beautiful. I have to say that my favorite feature is the carve of the guitar. It is extremely elegant.
I would also like to praise the young man that has done the finish. It really takes the hands of an artist to make that black and gold river shine.
Awesome !
Man i'm watching this again years later and i'm loving it... I really want to learn to build guitars...
Yep coolest looking guitar I've ever seen..black....gold...fancy filigree tuners.. omg I'm in love
Thank you! 😊
The most Beautiful guitar ever!!! OMG...
Possibly the most beautiful guitar I have ever seen. I am an aspiring guitar builder and your next level creations are always a huge inspiration. Thanks Ben... keep up the great work. Merry Christmas.
Came here from Know Your Gear channel, because Phillip McKnight said you don't make guitars but instead 'art'. Saw this one first, and I see a lot of traditional woodworking tools, love this build and expect that I will lose a bunch of time watching others.
One of the best things I saw on TH-cam
This guy does such beautiful work👍
The Guitar is art. Bling Bling. beautiful work
Visually this has few peers. Outstanding. Literally.
You sir are an artist, if it plays half a good as it looks you will have achieved greatness.
Congrats Ben! Stunning job , loved it. I always hated golden hardware BUT fits so graceful in this piece of art. Million thanks for your dedication and care. I was born between ancient ruins and seeing your creative vein here has been like getting eternal a moment in time.
Damn that’s one of the nicest guitars I’ve ever seen. Amazing detail. And the history in that wood...! Incredible outcome. Very good.✌️
I don’t always agree with some of your builds, but this one is a grand slam. This is what I call a custom guitar. It’s unique, artistic, elegant and beautiful.
Custom shop Les Paul? Pfff,
A guitar like this blows them away everyday of the week and twice on Sunday.
Now i like gold hardware!
Wow that is a stunning creation. Has to be the absolute best guitar I've ever seen as far as being appealing to the eye I literally wouldn't change a thing about it.
Thanks dude, I really appreciate that. B
The inlays are soo wonderful they should become a thing.
Most beautiful guitar ive ever seen. And i'd venture to say the most beautiful guitar in the world. Well done.
Most beautiful guitar I have ever seen.
"We have a ... thing!... And it ful of thingness"... yessss!
Lol it reminded me of Captain Jack Sparrow when he said that
@@matthewrhodes2010 i
Incredible. I've seen epoxy and wood in coffee tables and the such, but not in a guitar. This piece is absolutely stunning. Out of curiosity, what would a guitar like this sell for, Ben?
One of your most gorgeous builds to date
An absolute work of art. It needs to be in a museum.
Thank you.. I will keep at at home for now though, I enjoy it too much! B
A very pretty guitar, everything goes together really well, love how the gold leaf is carried through on the body, crown inlays and headstock. Also the small touches add so much, like you I'm not a fan of plastic humbucker surrounds (or even metal ones for that matter) but just dulling them off like you did looks so classy. For me (and I don't know why) but when you decided on the trapeze tailpiece and fitted it the whole guitar just looked fantastic, soooo glad you didn't go for the standard stop tailpiece they're look so bloody agricultural. I think this guitar is a nice balance between being different but not too outlandish, I think the gold leaf is the "star of the show" rather than the resin... It's a pity that the JPS Lotus F1 team aren't still in existence, would have looked great alongside one of their cars back in the day!
Love how this turned out and I loved watching every bit
Most beautiful tuner machine head ever!
ANyone who has ever worked with resin, knows what a maddenig job it can be. Im sure there were lots of mistakes. along the way until he developed all his shortcuts and "tricks". I made a few tables but I never could get a first time beauty. I always ended up with some bubbles. Impressed? Damn right.
I'm not a fan of gold hardware on a guitar, but this one looks perfect and oozes pure class. I can't decide whether this or the Complication is my favourite build so far and soon there'll be the 2020 Explorer to add to the mix as well!
*****FAVORITE build of yours... Ever. PLEASE do one with silver leaf in a similar way (same type of wood and resin). Maybe add some blue to the resin in places, see through blue if its possible. Crazy silver tuners like you got in gold. Maybe a super strat style or an SG shape or maybe like a PRS or EVH shape. You could change things up enough for peoole to be super interested yet they know the quality and style will be the same as your previous build. I would probably make a third one in the series with black hardware and emerald leaf. That would be AMAZING.... Cheers mate. PS: maybe you could add glow in the dark powder to all the resin stuff. Would be amazing when played live.
I thought Ben was the crazy one! Sounds good though.
"See through blue" is called TRANSPARENT blue buddy :D
My favorite build too, just dont like the tailpiece choice. But it's his not mine I guess
@@holzleder570 thanks mate. Was thinking maybe pour a third solid blue with the rest on too clear. I just can't believe how good this guitar turned out. Some of the resin guitars can look cheap and tacky but this was all class.. . and I want to see more... Cheers.
Wot, ya think 800 year old bog wood is just ... layin' around in the street or somethin'? ;)
Wow! My hat is off to you and your colleagues. That is beautiful.
Amazing....just out of this world. I love how craftsman are really coming back. Well at least on TH-cam.
I'm seeing it more and more in real life too, I think many people enjoy watching with no plans to make anything and after a while they start wondering about maybe buying a tool or two.. another year down the line we have a full fledged maker and the process starts again.. one soul at a time :) mwuahahha
Thanks for watching.
Ben
I'm getting Bill Bailey dressing up as Kerry King vibes, with the artistry of Da Vinci... \m/\m/
Spot on
Wonderful! You are very good!
O
Oo
Oo
Ii
Oo
That’s most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen!!! It’s a masterpiece
How can you not fall in love with that
Hell yeah I'll watch more of this at 5:16 a.m. 😆
After you finished listening to 5:12 am by Novelists at 5:12 am?
absolutely beautiful build. i am going to try building one of my own here in a week or two. i doubt it will turn out a sexy as yours but thanks for the inspiriation!
This might just be the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen. What a masterpiece!
This isn't a guitar, this is a dream!
Thank you.. I was looking forward to introducing her to people at guitar shows this year.. that has now been put on hold! What a year! B
"A River Runs Through It" The End!!!
Best guitar porno I think I've ever seen! I'm gonna need a shower after this one.
Lol.
I'm gonna need a smoke after this. I don't even play guitar. Lol

Была бы у меня такая гитара, я может и не женился бы никогда.
@@Jurinson Хорошо сказано, и я согласен
I love that I can watch Crimson guitars until I can't possibly watch anymore then go away for awhile just to come back a few months later with tons of new content to binge. Btw this is certainly one of my favorites you've done Ben. From an aesthetic perspective it's just amazing. And it sounds amazing aswell. Excellent work.
I seen a picture of this on Instagram the other day and I've never been so blown away by a guitar before.
Amazing to see how this was made and in my opinion the best looking guitar I've ever seen! 👍
A shout-out to all those who love to indulge in the argument about "tone woods" on electric guitars. Which gives better tone -- bog wood with gold leaf, or resin? ;) ;) ;)
@@Lamster66 Hello. Do you have any links to where we can hear how "non bog" these guitars built on this chanel sound? I'd be interested to hear if that 10 quid or less from ebay bridge stirrup thing affects the sound goodly.
@@Lamster66 LOL Quite right!
I am in tears man. This is my dream guitar. You are a true legend. An absolute masterpiece. 100/100 everything is perfect
An amazing showcase of elite craftsmanship.
Best Guitar Channel Ever !
I can't believe I hadn't seen this one. Its my favourite so far. What a gem of a guitar. Pure wizardry.
I wish I had the intelligence, patience and skill to make amazing things like this
Wow wow wow. 10/10 GORGEOUS.
That is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship and really love the gold and black. Really worth the man hours that went into building that guitar a work to be proud of and priceless.
Yoo this blows all your other builds out of the water mate, awesome
Without a doubt the most creative guitar I've seen....you are a true craftsman and I love your channel....amazing talent
I've seen some truly amazing things on youtube, but this one beats all! Some people call themselves artists. You are the Master Artist of all guitar building. Unbelievably beautiful!
That guitar will end up in a museum one day cause it is a work of art well done....... the thing that gives me the chills is the wood..... it waited 3000 years to be appreciated......
Stunning. Possibly the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen.
That thing is absolutely stunning
Wow what a beautiful guitar
Wow, wow, wow. The most beautiful guitar I've ever seen
Seriously one of the most beautiful guitars I’ve ever seen
This is an art of creating a pure beauty. You sir are an artist.
Almost brought tears to my eyes. This is art, this is craftsmanship 🙏
Brought tears to my eyes cuz I'm soo sleepy...
That's the most Beautiful Piece of Art made by a true Artist. Amazing!
Black and gold is the best combo ever ❤️. And that guitar looks sick. I will buy it even though i dont play it ❤️
Stunning design and craftsmanship !!
Late to the party, but what a guitar. Sublime! TRuly a work of art and it sounds as good as it looks.
I followed this from the full length vids have to say it's one of the better guitars you've done it looks amazing, and sounds pretty dam good too.
Probably I'll never gonna watch any guitar making videos anymore. I fell for it
I've been thoroughly enjoying seeing your watch collection change and grow over the years.
I love the super cuts to see it all at once but they don’t show the struggles of the learning process.. You make it look so easy in this. It’s an absolutely beautiful guitar.
That is literaly the best looking guitar I've ever seen
One of the best looking guitars I have seen
Thank you, I had a blast with this one. B
Absolutely exquisite! I couldn't do it justice, but boy I'd like to have an hour with that! Very, very well done!
The guy's hair matching the body makes 15:13 such a satisfying shot, lol.
Good lord...that is outstanding....Wow...what a craftsman...stunning....kudos....
This has to be one of the, if not, best looking Les Paul Guitars I've seen. Great work!
That's the most beeyudeeful guitar I've ever seen! Well done!
Has cruzado la frontera: a partir de ahora no eres un luthier, eres un artista.
¡¡ Esa guitarra es una obra de arte !!
Hands down the best guitar I've seen you guys make.
This realy is the most beautifull guitar I have ever seen!!
This is one beautiful guitar. I’ve never been crazy over LP styles but this one makes me want one.....
Thank you.. We will happily make a version of this one for you if you like.. we have 2 in order right now and cohkd easily do a third ;) B
Not only beautiful in it's own right, having all the bling melded into the curvaceous (yes, I know) contours and arches of the classic Les Paul outline, but also inspirational as well. I have just purchased an experimental amount of clear resin from an Amazon supplier and was looking for ideas. And here we are!
I saw Dave Simpson play this guitar on TH-cam this guitar makes a passion gitarist sound so good Two people with crafsmanship makes a team
one of the most beautiful pieces I've seen... I'm in awe... !!
Awesome work. I've built guitars several times but never thought to use timber like that and with resin and gold. You are the master.
Wow Ben! Just gotta say; as a fellow luthier, I've watched with awe some of your imaginative projects, but this one takes the cake for me. This is quite possibly the most gorgeous instrument I have seen. Fantastic work, mate!
Words can't describe it........phenomenal! 🙏 Greetings from Germany .
Thank you very much 🙏
Another fantastic guitar from the best luthier on TH-cam.
This one is my favorite guitar in the world! 🌎
I enjoyed the entire series of when you built such a beautiful work of wonderous art... 😍
Wasn’t convinced when you started the build but hell yeah! Gorgeous.... your a genius.......
I'd cry in emotion if I could have this guitar in my life!!
Congrats, guys!
A true masterpiece!!
Leatherjacks can you cry without emotions? If so you should be an actor
