Can you name all of the songs at the end of the video?! Hope y'all enjoyed this one, good luck to all who bid on the charity auction. ebay.to/3x205aD

[@randyallaway4085]

Higher Ground by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Schism by Tool, and I Want You Back by the Jackson Five. Couldn't make out the fourth one, sadly. Last one sounded like Dean Town by Vulfpeck.

[@jasoncunningham4774]

Ok this has no relevance to your question, but I was wondering if you could try and make a snare drum, I'm a drummer (age 17) and I'm doing construction study's in my school. The final exam is to build something and I was thinking to do a snare drum, but don't really know how to do that, so heres my question again 😅. Could you try build a snare drum. Thanks Jason

[@craftedworkshop]

@@randyallaway4085 I made up the third one so well done there, got them all!

[@randyallaway4085]

And trust me- I've been a bassist for over 20 years, and channeling one's inner Joe Dart is HARD.

[@aps5150]

[@CrimsonCustomGuitars]

Not a bassist!?! What a build, I've wanted to work with you since I heard you on the podcast talking about being a life long musician and, well.. thank you for joining in! The icing on the cake was your choice of charity and how perfectly the build matches pride. Spot on, I love it! B

[@craftedworkshop]

I really appreciate that invite and I apologize for the extreme tardiness here! Hopefully, I can make this a yearly thing and will be able to spend more time on the project next year!

[@thisgoestoeleven]

"I Want You Back" sounds so weird with a pick and brand new round-wound strings, but now I want to hear someone do a pop punk cover of it.

[@himynameisalaric]

[@xyzcreate]

As a former Luthier I totally understand the frustration when shopping for parts! I was literally not allowed to sell parts for less than a certain amount or I would be at risk of losing my distribution licensing with the companies I worked with. I could however build a custom instrument and include the parts at or slightly above cost, which is why the "buy a whole instrument for the parts" trick works so well (especially with cheaper import guitars)

[@craftedworkshop]

It is kind of nuts, plus I get that the volume that Fender buys parts at will never compare to me buying one off parts from StewMac. The donor guitar will continue to make sense as long as that’s true!

[@jjfloyd618]

I’m pretty sure Fender actually makes all their own parts. I’m also confused about the donor Bass as I thought they sent you a kit to work with.

[@ProjectBlackweather]

@@jjfloyd618 Crimson's kits are body and neck only. No electronics nor hardware.

[@mattduffyw99]

Absolutely beautiful top, love the swoop in the skateboard veneers that matches the horn and headstock. Great choice also on the clear pickguard, I'm not usually a fan, but it works really well here!

I was about to say. I know that house isnt done yet lol. Are supply chain issues causing problems for you?

[@craftedworkshop]

Yup, been over three weeks since I ordered the plywood.

this is my favorite build of the "invitational" category, in terms of the aesthetics

[@craftedworkshop]

Man, thanks! There were some awesome builds, wish I had gotten it done earlier.

[@mouse6196]

You should change out the fret markers to colours to match the body and coloured strings

[@raymondruiz1843]

Hi there! What are those Black disks supporting the Bass body while you're working on it, great build, Thanks!

[@sawyergenoway4542]

If you use a little table salt in the glue up, the pieces wont slide around as much. And the salt has no effect on the strength of the glue up.

[@craftedworkshop]

Good tip! Funny thing is I know about that tip but have never actually tried it.

[@jjfloyd618]

Looks awesome & I love your explanation of the process. From a cosmetic standpoint I’d have liked to see you find a creative way to hide the wiring whilst utilizing the clear pick guard. Or do a rear rout so as not to compromise any of the cap face. Also would have been really cool to see body contours.

[@jjfloyd618]

Actually, upon further reflection it occurs to me that you basically built a Squier Affinity with a fancy top. So I think I’d like to have seen you plane a half inch of the top of the Squier & glue the half inch skateboard cap on top. Then carve in a forearm contour & do a rear control rout.

[@ronsche1]

Should I use MDF for cabinets?

[@neilbrackstone1819]

If you had thought ahead you could router the cable holes into the top before the skateboard top layer and prevented scuffing the face

[@craftedworkshop]

That would have been nice!

[@NathanTilesTheWorld]

Now that's sick. Wow.

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks man!

[@RobertLentz97]

Thank you for your choice of charity, Johnny. I’ve been watching your videos alongside many other woodworking channels for a while, as well as working in a hardware shop myself, and can’t help but feel it’s an industry dominated by cis and hetero people. Maybe more could be done to be more inclusive of all genders and orientations and it’s great to see one of the bigger names in the community showing their support. Great build!

[@ironducks]

Happy Pride!! And considering the amount of hate we're currently getting as a community, it was really nice to hear that at the end and the little tag over the guitar earlier. I just really appreciated it.
