  • In this video I am making a Screaming Skull Guitar for my 3rd submission to the Great Guitar Build Off!
    I built a replica of a guitar that I first made 34 years ago while I was in university at the School of Visual Art in NYC!
    All the parts for this guitar were supplied by Crimson Guitars, with all of the design and build, left up to the makers... Enjoy
    For this guitar

    The author does like to ruclips.net/user/postUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

    I remember the first one! What a treat to see the process of this new skull. Years ago I just thought guitars somehow just mysteriously existed, to build a functioning electric guitar seemed like an impossibility to me.
    I remember holding it in my hands and just looking at all the detail and craftsmanship and realizing that I need to be a lot more fearless and the things that I create. ⭐ 🎸 💛

    As someone who has also built guitars, that carving was so deeply satisfying to watch unfold.
    As someone who also PLAYS guitars, the layout of the controls was deeply disturbing to behold.
    Also, the first time I've ever seen a nut blank being shaped IN PLACE on the guitar, and I both love it and hate it.

    "She's a beaut, Clark"! I don't know why but I saw this and thought of GWAR, and W.A.S.P. Make another paint it black with flames coming off the skull. Cheesy? Somewhat. Expected? Yes. Cool as hell? Yes to that as well. The only thing I would have done different is a Marshall and heavy distortion of some sort, but that's just me lol. Great build Jimmy!

    The shaping and carving is great, and I know that many like the bare woodgrain finish, but as someone who has done stage lighting for bands in the past, It won't look as effective under stage lighting and its "stagecraft" impact will be lost to a degree.
