Clarity Ep 11 - How to Cut Fret Slots By Hand

Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonC... and welcome to Episode 11 of the Clarity series of videos. This guitar is based on a Robert Fripp design. In this episode, Ben prepares to mark out and cut the fret slots. This guitar is a 650mm scale length, so not standard, meaning Ben has to cut the slots by hand. This Video series with Ben Crowe at Crimson Guitars in the UK (http://www.crimsonguitars.com) became the backbone of the Crimson Guitars online tutorials for a few years. Please note that this series was filmed in 2013 when Ben was still working out of a shed at the bottom of his garden. This means that some of Ben's techniques and opinions have since changed, however, much of the content is still relevant so we hope that you will benefit from this series and the updated links. Thank you for watching. ______________________________________________________________________ We'd like to thank our partners for helping to make this video series possible.
