What is the GGBO?

Crimson Guitars kindly invited me to compete in their annual 'Great Guitar Build Off Invitational' - a challenge where a bunch of YouTube woodworkers (and Brad Angove) compete to build the best guitar they can from a standardised kit. The guitars will then be raffled off, with the proceeds going to charity - in my case Macmillan Cancer Support.

    Haha there was more of me than there was of the original kit body when you finished that. Awesome build.
  • This has to be one of the most beautiful guitars I have ever seen. Great work!
  • Being following you now for several years. You inspired me to build my own guitar, a Solo, Les Paul Spalled Maple Top. It turned out great. You were just getting going with your channel ,with not a lot of followers. Think I just entered , building a guitar on You Tube, and you came up. Glad to see that you’ve become a huge ,top tear guitar guy on You Tube.
  • Oof…that tone pot 🥲 that hurt to watch. Excellent build man! Beautiful. Love the top
  • @Xaltar_
    I absolutely love what you did with this. A bold move going for no cutaway, it gives off a classical instrument vibe while being an electric guitar and the wood you used is just stunning. Brilliant work.
  • I knew I was going to love this video and build from the very start, with the way you introduced your materials! I loved every bit of this build, including a hidden lamination of 'Brad'! 😆 Great job!
  • I like the idea of a smaller hollow body like this. The violin-esque tail piece is beautiful.
  • @jamesoniris2647
    A brilliant mix of classic and modern to make something truly beautiful. I wish I had the patience to make something like this <<<3333
  • Fantastic! Nothing like a new guitar that looks like it already knows the music you'll both be playing!
  • Brilliant, gorgeous, and sounds beautiful. Well done! Me want. ;o)
  • @cementheed
    Beautiful! I built (assembled) an LP guitar from a pre-cut kit and I found that daunting - I can't imagine how much work was involved in this build (in real time)! I'm impressed.
  • @homaism
    Кажется, это самая лучшая гитара, за которую я бы отдал свои деньги этому мастеру. 👍👍👍
  • @user-iz6ry2ms6x
    Wouldn't it been easier to maybe, to cover certain holes with painters tape for getting to pull snake lines for the electronics wires inside the body cavity with a suction vacuum. Just wondering, if it would have saved some time and aggravation, in that process ... just curious if that could even help ... sort of like electricians do through feeder pipes. Great looking and sounding AX. No wonder it received a 1st place award. BRAVO, Sir. That really turned out super cool ... cheers!!!
  • @davedavem
    Great build! Love the tailpiece and the finish especially.
  • Wonderful sound has this guitar, Bravo Master, that is the masterpiece
  • @jamesh5460
    I watched Ben Crow's review of this build and have to agree, well deserved first place. Wow! Beautiful instrument.
  • @kyle9667
    Welp, after watching going to have to go get some tickets for that beauty. Already have many tickets for Brad's build, plus a few other builds as well, now to add this one to the list of chances. Still learning to play, but would be great to have a one of a kind guitar to play someday.
