Shrek's Little Brother 2 - Carving the Body & Top - How to Build a UNIQUE Multi-Scale Kit Guitar

Welcome to Ben's workshop and a new mid-week series where Ben builds a unique fanned fret / multi-scale kit guitar. This is the brand new Uncut, Fanned Fret Kit Guitar from Crimson that Ben has been looking forward to launching or a long time - https://www.crimsonguitars.com/products/kit-guitar-uncut-fanned-fret

In this episode the final shape is achieved (who needs square edges anyway!) and the unique carves are added through the flamed sycamore top and into the sapele body. What's this...a sliding Dovetail backplate!!!

This Kit is tailored to those who want to create their own body and headstock shape. The Uncut Body and Paddle Headstock are a blank canvas ready for your creativity to be let loose.
