Thank you again for all your support, we really appreciate it! - Ben
Stay tuned and stay awesome!
The one thing I admire most about Ben and his work, is that he will readily admit when he is wrong, even if it is after the fact, and then post corrections for the sake of accuracy.
And people say " handmade guitars are so expensiv " !!! Not at all, they are worth every penny.
THUMBS UP

Thank you, i's an example of what you can do if you take the basic skills in this video to the next level.. plus working with solid silver really was a blast!
Great video. This kind of tedious work is what sets great builders ahead of the rest. You made this inlay look fairly easy. It’s not easy by any means. The guitar will be a one of a kind work of art that the owner will be proud to own.
Making your own filler out of sawdust! This is a lifesaver thanks Ben👍
this is something I use in almost every single project.. so damn useful! B
My PRS Torero hasn't got any inlays at all, just the dots on the top and I was getting lost with low lighting at my gig last night. I didn't realise how reliant I am on the inlays for positioning. Was gonna get an inlay job, after watching this vid though, I'm gonna tackle it myself. I'll practice on some hacks first of course.
Thanks a lot, great vid and pleasant to watch and listen too.
Cheers
I just purchased Some Black Mother of Pearl on the good ol' Ebay. I have a old squire s-60 I sanded down I will be trying my some inlaying on.
Love the videos Ben!
Yes indeed, this is how I do all of my inlay regardless of the materials I'm working with.. Thanks for watching!
It was such a clean break that it was invisible when glued, I added new front and back headstock veneers for extra strength though, 6 years on the guitar is as stable as ever.. I was lucky, very very lucky! Seeing this comment in the email it looked like it was someone saying the inlay in this video was soooo bad I had to replace the headstock! Context is everything hey?
You have the patience of angel. I could never do what you do. Awesome job once again!
Hey buddy, I've seen a few of your videos over the last few days and I'm very impressed, you sure know your way around a guitar. Thanks for sharing your skills. All the best.
I also enjoyed watching your video. Great skill and dexterity to achieve perfection. Well done.
Really enjoyed the vid. I'm no fine woodworker, but I love guitars, so this was quite educational.
Enjoyed your silver inlay tutorial, thank you. Some great tips for my bag of tricks.
the tribal inlay on that neck in beautiful i would love to have that on my gibson,but im not brave enough to try it my self.
love watching your videos you guys do some great work.
Great work, and an absolutely riveting video! I have in the past made jewellery with aluminium & rosewood inlay work, and also had many tense moments with a jeweller's saw, so I appreciate the skill and patience involved....
Amazingly, (despite my horror) you managed to make the PRS relicing just as fascinating!
Yeah.... Cyanoacrylate doesn't stick well to *waxy* plastic, like polythene bottles or tops. But does stick really well to hard *dry* plastics, like acrylic or polycarbonate.
Of course, as with all inlaying, the more accurate your first cut, the less likelihood of requiring wood filler to finish.
Still looks good at the finishing end.
Thumbs up, as always.
Thank you for the chance of watching your work.
Take care.

Thank you very much Crimsom for posting this and other videos.
love the neck inlay
Oh yes! It happens, once I had a fully strung guitar hung upside down from the ceiling while we got a case out.. the hook fell out and the headstock split clean off as it hit the deck! I was so pissed off I didn't even swear or shout at the guy who hung it up, I just went off for a walk saying 'don't worry about it' .. he thought I'd had a psychotic break, sometimes silence is scarier I suppose..
I love these guitar building videos!! thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills!
Great set of instructional videos
Thanks
Tight cavities... splurging out at speed.... what the hell did I just watch??
Hi, I am not a guitar building but i am interested in wood working, so this is how i came accross your web-page. The procedure that you have done on this guitar have you done a veneer on the side of headstock, if so do you use a normal veneer or is there a special veneer. I must say that i have found the work that you do, not only an excellent help but it is also very hipnotic.
Best Regards
Roger
Great video. It has really helped me with my project. Thanks so much.... You do amazing work !
Great video. I truly appreciate you showing how it is done with hand tools. I never knew about cut to cut technique. I really hate routers and dremels, and always wanted to do inlay with hand tools. Could you do more intricate inlay using chisels and knives? Say for instance, something along the lines of Martin snowflake inlay, or tree of life type inlay in an ebony board? Just curious because I want to get into inlaying with hand tools myself.
Best,
Jonas
your vids and guitars are amazing - thanks for sharing your knowledge
I love your videos. you sir are awesome.
I must admit I have been watching your videos for years but never subscribed because you went on with these seemingly endless spiels but never really saw much work going on,however lately you are revealing to us some of your trade secrets and low and behold you are a craftsman. I heard you talking before of making a guitar for Robert Fripp of King Crimson fame a guitarist I greatly admire ,by the way, are they still making music ? I've been out of touch with the rock/jazz culture for some time. It's great work you do best regards
Great tutorial, thanks!
Impressive work !
I haven't read it yet.. but will! Is it talking about a Martin by any chance? If so it's probably because they out-sourced the inlay work to Larry Robinson.. he's the best
brilliant video - thanks for sharing!!
I'd love to have taken a more creative route in life - i envy people with skills like these
yeah, it's because most people don't know how much work this is.
maybe sometime in the future...instead of trying to find some one to put some custom inlays in a guitar for me...ill do it myself.
How deep do you make the recess and how do you a certain height? What happens if you mess up on the recess? Can you just use wood filler? God I wanna build a guitar so much.
ive never done any inlay work on a guitar, but ive done inlay on other things. and ive tried dremel router attachments and just holding the cable tool end. massive pain in the ass.
IMO, do it by hand, unless you have access to a micro precision CNC router.
Hello Ben - these videos are fantastic. Have you tried something like a Foredom rotary tool or high-speed dentist tool to clean out the inlay cavity? I've been hand-cutting but am thinking about using a knife for the outline but a machine for the field of the inlay. Thoughts? I see guys hand-holding those device - my fear is one slip and the job is ruined.
very nice work...I will have to give this a try. I'm not sure my hands are as steady as yours. I am new at this. Where do you recommend finding these instruments?
is it possible to use the chisel instead of a router if I want to put an inlay on a maple Stratocaster headstock? this looks "easy" on a veneer but I don't know if it will have good results on Maple.
How long did it take to think about your logo? It must be really a painful for a luthier to choose a complex logo in the beginning and always got the work with the crazy inlay.
Yours is simple, but still nice.
I have a question. I'd like to hide the holes for my neck pickup and volume control knob.
Which is the best glue that I could use in order to add fill the holes with wood and glue it to the body.
I asked a couple of luthiers but they are all rather busy and I do not like to wait.
Thanks.
I just finished the charming book, The Making of Eric Clapton's Guitar, and inlay work is completely glosses over...with a comment about how it's done at lightning speed...(maybe your read it). I just don't get that at all.
just a random question, massive fan of your work, but when you were training, did you ever rightiously screw up a guitar quite late in the building process?
Another little trick 8:15 super glue dose not stick to plastic? It better do or we are all knackered
Brilliant job indeed..☠️🎸☠️
aah awesome! and aahaha!no no, it looks gorgeous man.
Jeeeeeeeezus!!! did you have to make the guitar again? or just reglue the headstock?
I wonder if this technique can be used to
Great video and you seem really nice!
Would this same technique work for inlaying rosewood?
The crimson logo was wonky Ben. Was this intentional?
Slanted sure but not central at all, the negative space was jarring above the logo
MicroRCFiend the headstock isn’t symmetrical, he lined up the inlay with the center of the fretboard
Ben, what kind of wood is made of the neck?
Hey ben got a question, so I'm needing to fill a small "check" on a highly figured black walnut body I'm building, I've mixed up some filler and tested on a piece of scrap with excellent results. Question is, will there be any problems with the finish over that area? any info would be sweet, also what kind of finish was used on that gorgeous PAF "elm" guitar, different wood & style than what i'm building but has a very similar pattern to the grain thanks
Interesting...
The best super glue money can buy is loctite 401 give it a try but keep your kids away from it.
Its expensive but worth it.
would it work in particle board?
Hey can you put an annotation on the "super glue doesnt stick to plastic" bit? Certain plastics will be instantly melted by CA, ruining your inlay work lol.
where do you get this knife from?
must wear goggles when installing inlays - i learnt that the hard way lol
What if you cut it to deep?
Azazul Soulmeister depends on the situation, sometimes you can use wood filler to raise it up a little, other times you can cut out a rough shape of your inlay out of scrap and put that underneath it. just make sure you fill in any voids underneath the inlay with whatever you’re using to bind it
Your accent reminds me a lot of David Gilmour's. I'd bet you are from the same area...
Javi G that's not n accent that's how you are supposed to talk
every single speaking person in the world has an accent
You sound like a james bond :3
Hook me up so I can rep you guys in the west coast!!!
inlay the neck of the guitar? ooops hit the enter button accidentally
As close as you can get to brain surgery..on a guitar.
Nice job !
Sophisticated??.. with all those tattoo's over ones head?,,,,lol
thanks for your videos ur your guitars sound thin and shit xxxx
