It's gonna look awesome for sure. :) I was at Crimson last August and built a guitar with your help. It was my own body design and was spray stained in purple and blue. You helped me with a really unique volute with a tiger stripe inlay on it. I was running short on time and you offered to do the fret work on it but were called back home shortly after. Just to let you know that I did the frets at home and they came out damn near perfect. :) My guitar looks great and plays fantastic. It would never have come out anywhere near as good as it did without your help and for that I am eternally greatful. I also finally decided on it's name. The design began life using a Z so I have decided to call it Zed Leppelin. :) THANX DUDE! :)
i have a friend who has a Gibson LesPaul Acoustic guitar. Never seen one anywhere, but i've held it in my own hands so i know it is real. be a nice build to do.
Spoiler: It's more disappointing that you'd think... I think it will need oiling before it really comes to life! It's not bad, but not as obvious that it's bookmatched
Thanks a million, hopefully the build will live up to expectation and the image I have in my head. You should see the amount of Walnut Crimson have in the back, it's madness!
Have you thought about building this as a neck through Bass? By the way I enjoyed the song sound track for the build. I think you have chosen some nice wood selections and they book matched nicely. I like the shape of the bass and head stock design.
I had thought of it, but I'm not a fan of neck-through instruments really any more. It's a super wasteful method of building in my opinion. Last years build was neck-through and it ate the equivalent of 6 flat-headstock necks. Madness!
Was wondering if you were going to enter this year again Sean Remember to enjoy yourself this year and no be knocking your pan in and not having time to yourself and then rushing at the end. Walnut & Ash is a nice start How long did it take to resaw that block of Walnut? Good to see you at work again ... lol Looking forward to seeing how it turns out mate 👍
Hey Rab, hope you're doing well! I absolutely don't plan on having my pan knocked in (I like that phrase!). This build should be much less of a headache and much better planned behind the scenes so hopefully much less stress. The walnut sawed nicely actually. Decently new blade and it took maybe 7 or 8 minutes? Same as the ash really.
@@AwenLutherieCustomGuitars That's aw right (cause the blade was new, but that's why i asked cause it's one of the bandsaws all the students use). I'm going to try and make Tartan wood for my build this year and have put a sneak peak pic up on the site if you want to take a wee nosey Aw the best Sean, speak to you soon bud 👍(aw btw do you spell it Seaun ? we had a discussion about it months ago but i couldn't remember, so you got it the common way ... lol?)
Cool, a bass! :-) Finally. Since most are only building the 6 string octave higher counterpart, haha. Are you going to stick to one single coil in the bridge position only? Adding a second one, both close to the brigde, like some Warwick basses have could be something too.
I haven't fully decided on pickup choice actually. I'm currently gravitating towards the single pickup in the bridge, because I love the simplicity of those kinds of instruments!
@@AwenLutherieCustomGuitars I see, well bass guitar can get as complicated as guitars when it comes to electronics, or as simple :-) The single coil in this position will give a mid range / nasal sound. For more low end, well I think I don't need to tell. Either way, I look forward to the next episode of this GGBO build ;-)
Ooh spoiler alert! We haven't opened your parcel just yet, although rikki has told me of its existence. Apparently it is with Ben and he is under strict instruction.

YANDLES!!!!!!!
One of my favourite places!
I enjoy watching the wood prep. It's relaxing.
I 100% agree. It's one of the most satisfying parts of a build to see the tough wood come out all shiny and planed
i have a friend who has a Gibson LesPaul Acoustic guitar. Never seen one anywhere, but i've held it in my own hands so i know it is real. be a nice build to do.
Looks fantastic, can’t wait to see how it turns out. Also, not many people can pull off denim over denim, congrats.
Thank you! It's a dangerous move, I know, but I guess I like to live dangerously!
I can't wait to see what the fretboard is going to look like once that tape comes off and the glue is cleaned off.

We definitely need to see more bass guitars in this competition, can’t wait to see it progress 😀
Absolutely! Make sure you're subbed to keep up with the build! ;>)
Cool stuff Sean. As a bass player, I’m mostly happy you are building a bass. 😎
And here I thought you were here for me! Thanks for stopping by
Always enjoy watching your channel mate. Your build looks like it’s going to be really cool.
Also, I’m very jealous of how much walnut you have there!
Thanks a million, hopefully the build will live up to expectation and the image I have in my head.

Going to be a great build. Looking forward to watching the process 👍👍😎
Thanks for dropping by! I hope I can live up to your expectations!
Hello from Texas
Hello! Thanks for checking out the video
Interesting body shape, looks Nice 🤩
Thanks! I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone a little, and I like it!

Hi.
Fuck me, I didn't know you had your own channel after watching you on Crimson. Mad ted. Subscribed.
I do indeed! Funny enough, this channel is how I also got found and employed by Crimson.
Nice to see you back this year man. Can't wait to see your build. Did you get the pencils and case I sent you? ✌️
Ooh spoiler alert! We haven't opened your parcel just yet, although rikki has told me of its existence. Apparently it is with Ben and he is under strict instruction.
@@AwenLutherieCustomGuitars shit! Sorry brother. I though it was already done! Well at least you don't know exactly what it is! Enjoy my friend
