Building an Acoustasonic-Style Guitar from a Crimson Tele-kit | Crimson Guitars Workshop

Welcome to CRIMSON GUITARS HQ https://www.crimsonguitars.com/ Join Matt in the Crimson Guitars workshop as he transforms one of our brand-new Tele-kits into a custom Acoustasonic-style guitar. From hollowing the body to fitting the spalted beech top, routing, bracing, and binding—this build has it all. This project follows inspiration from Ben’s Kauri Jazzmaster build, with Matt putting his own spin on creating a hybrid acoustic-electric guitar.
