Great montage, but watching this instead of the original series doesn't convey how much of a rollercoaster this build was. I remember thinking "man, he ruined it" every time you added some detail only to be completely amazed at how stunning it turned out (and I'm one of those who suggested a green finish too). Great job Ben!

You make it look very easy which is encouraging. Amazing craftsmanship and artistry. I appreciate your styles. People ask me when I start a project, "what will it look like when youre done?". I say, "I'm not entirely sure yet. It will tell me as I go along." I enjoy seeing other artists listen to their creation as well. Thank you for another great video.

I think I've watched 90% of your content in the past month. I used to be a pro sound engineer and producer, with a bit of guitar tech-ing on the side. Your content has re-ignited my love of the guitar, and I'm seriously considering borrowing a family member's wood working space and entering the next GGBO with a bang. What about an LP body, inlaid with LED lit perspex butterflies down the neck and across the body? Or a recreation of an inverted Crimson Guitar's Logo with the outline in LED lit perspex (I like playing with electronics, and I promise to properly shield it all!)? My bank manager is going to HATE seeing Crimson guitars show up on my statement!!!
