My new website: https://magicatticguitars.com/ Follow me on Instagram:   / magicatticguitars   Last year I got an invitation for a 5 day course at Crimson guitars as a prize for winning The Great Guitar Build Off 2021 competition. I had to wait for a while to save some money for the trip and accommodation. Thankfully guys at Crimson didn’t have a problem with it and I booked my course in May 2022. Their 5 day course is designed to build a complete guitar from scratch but they have some limitations because of a short time period. In order to complete the full build in such time it need to be simple with not a lot of details. I have a little bit of experiences with the basics of guitar building and I have most of the tools needed. I didn’t want to make just s basic copy of Telecaster or Strat guitar so I wrote to Crimson guitars asking if it’s ok with them that I start building my guitar at home, prepare the base and then finish the build with them. They were very understanding and agreed with my idea. So this is how it went. Shout out to my mentors from Crimson guitars, Shean and Josh.
