This is the final video for this year's Great Guitar Build Off INVITATIONAL Challenge. Find out the winner of the Public Vote and the rankings. We are so proud of everyone who took part in this years UA-camr Invitational Challenge (even those who didn't finish on time)
Don't forget that the auctions end this Friday, July 2nd, so be sure to tune in to Ben's Live Stream to see the results of all the auctions.
Next year I think the winner should be determined by who's guitar sells for the most amount of money. Let people vote with their wallets and puts the focus on who raises the most for charity, and less emphasis who has the most subscribers
@@joeldezwaan1149 next year's is a raffle iirc. Last year's was meant to be a raffle (the global legal complications took a while to sort out).
All voting systems have flaws. Public vote favours channels with bigger audiences. Auction favours whoever has 2 viewers with deep pockets to outbid eachother. A handful of people decide the outcome. A raffle seems like it will raise more for charity and as you say put the focus back on fundraising. But raffle itself is still going to favour channels with the biggest audiences. None of the voting systems really judge "the best guitar", it seems to me the rankings are just a bit of competetive fun and the fundraising is already the real goal for the invitationals - the 4 who struggled with the deadline committed to finishing the builds for charity funds regardless of disqualification from the rankings etc. Their desire to fundraise already seems higher priority for them than their desire for a ranking.
I don't know how "the winner" will be decided next year. In many ways the winning doesn't matter. It's a fairly arbitrary and subjective result.
Thanks Crimson and everyone else involved fantastic stuff cheers from OZ
A fantastic selection of instruments and a fine amount of money will be raised when this all wraps in 24 hours.
Some stunning and inspiring builds in here (with even more in the public competition), but I must say whoever that handsome Scotsman was, he did very well .
Aye. That he has laddie. That he has.
representing from beyond the wall, well done
Well done mate, super glad you won. Your guitartan was not only brilliant, but your video was comic gold too. Keep it loud.
Haha well done Colin, loved the guitar! Makes a change a builder actually being able to play great too.
You did a fantastic job, you deserve the win.
A well-deserved victory to Colin. Incredible work!
Good luck to all the contestants, but also good luck to everyone trying to consume the sheer volume of content we've all produced XD
My boy Tsichks there on the top, well deserved, hes an amazing builder, he can even build guitars with one hand!
@@pallecla i completely agree.
Tchiks had my vote, truly impressive and I imagine will make the most at auction
It's almost unfair to the other participants how charismatic Colin is. Lots of personality went into that guitar and his videos.
Absolutely made-up for Colin winning this - well done son
They’re all special in their own unique way. But just for flat out “I need that now!” guitar is the 3x3 black and brass work of art. I watched her whole build video and it’s a special thing. Magic
I agree. This is one of my favorites.
Watch her build from last year. It's even better.
I can hear it 👍. Hey, how about a GGBO calendar. I like calendars. I like guitars. Well done and congrats to Colin on the Guitartan. He'd have more space in his flat if he got rid of some of those damn guitars! Wait. What?
I cannot afford to bid on the guitars, but I sure as hell would be happy to buy a calendar. So I second this
Brad Mangod hanging on everybodys walls. It'll sell like hotcakes 😜
@@PaulCooksStuff 🔥🔥🔥
I’d buy a calendar in a heartbeat!
Aye, a calendar would be brilliant. More pics, a short bio on the creator, that would make me very happy.
The most interesting part of Colin's for me was the whiskey barrel top, a great and creative addition to the whole theme. The mandolin/guitar should've been higher imo, but damn every instrument was epic!
When I first saw guitartan, I had an inkling it was going to win, it's a gorgeous bit of kit... On another note, I was waiting for some sort of Marvel post credit thing with the 40 minutes of blank screen!
Dont you mean, gorgeous bit of kilt? ;)
@@TalonPro touché 😁. Also, shocked for how little it went for in the auction.
GGBO 2021 is truly inspirational! I hope we help more charitable institutions and make the YT guitar community bigger. Everyone is so friendly here. Cheers to everyone! 👍
CS, 3x3 & Tchiks were my top 3 (in no particular order). Well done to everyone though
This has been a joy to watch, the invitationals and the many, many public entries I keep coming across. Congratulations to all! I think in the end my favourite was Tchiks entry - I loved his style of video making and I think his guitar is the most beautiful of the competition, though arguably also the 'safest' in terms of aesthetics.
Can't wait for GGBO 2022! Cheers, Ben!
The Tchiks guitar was astonishing. So beautiful and the way it made features out of function was brilliant.
And Tamar....you just have to get her to design some Crimson production guitars. I love her guitars (and yes, she should have won last year).
It's good to see that you all allowed the people to choose the winner. They chose well. This man stands true to what custom guitar building is about....the guitar. So many of you chose to make the build about yourselves... Some of you have forgotten that guitar building is first and foremost a craft...not an art. It is an instrument, not a show piece.
This is such an inspiring contest that I’m going to start a guitar building club at school after the summer. ❤️ Watch out for the Perth High Cool entry next year! (Scotland… not Oz!)
Good man! Excellent idea.
Keep it up.. very inspiring
Although i'm a huge fan of you Ben, Tchiks guitar is the one i most liked until i saw Awen's design of a semi-hollow jazz master with a removable top that acts like a pick guard, that is absolute genius and i'm seriously considering having that done to my 335 semi acoustic because the only thing i strongly dislike about these models is the lack of acess to the inside and all the fiddling around the F holes necessary every time you need to change a pot or something. Awen's design just solves it perfectly and elegantly! You were absolute right to put that man to work on crimson!
Kudos to all entrants and supporting subscribers, this is an amazing achievement!
Ben, you have brought so much positive attention to the custom guitar building community, throughout the world. Hope you keep this rolling for years to come.
Thank you one and all. As someone who discovered guitar building (I can't play but my family do) through lock down, through GGBO, and all your genrous advice and encouragment in your tubes, this has all been just brilliant!
So thrilled for Colin! His whole build, from concept to execution, to video production, was brilliant and his is a well earned victory!
I would have never made the leap to invest in all my tools to start building if not for Ben and all of the contestants in the first GGBO, and I'm so grateful for all of them. Hoping to compete next year!
The big win here isn’t just the money raised for charity, but the amount of resource material created to inspire and teach new luthiers by the build videos which are a masterclass in themselves.
Guitartan was easily my favourite, lots of good ones though
I sense a disturbance in the Force - and a re-upload coming? 🤔😁
@@davedavem I half expected Ben to pop back up at 54:30 and just shout Boo!
Well Done to EVERYONE!! I've been keepin up with everyone's builds and a well needed pat on the back is required!! So happy for Colin though... as I felt the emotion involved with his build and if I had enough money I'd have bought it and gave him it back
Tim Sway is one of the most creative guys on this musical planet !
Agree, the innovation of a detachable mandolin blew my mind!
I agree, he was my fave all along, I adore his ethic.
Although Tchiks and that cute little kid of his quite nearly pulled me off track.
A worthy winner . Looks and sounds epic
I am glad that some of the invitationals didn't make the deadline...it makes me feel better about missing it on my entry. I am still gonna finish it. Eventually. And maybe even post a video - lol. Everything you guys have done is amazing!
Hay Ben;
Not only is your guitar beautiful, but it has an amazing sound. It's sound is unique. I have never heard another guitar that sounds quite like it. Love it! Thanks for promoting this competition.
Yass Colin! as a fellow scot that build video made me tear up, well deserved win.
Just seeing all these GGBO 2021 videos in the related videos section has been entertaining. Some very impressive builds.
They are all champions... Salute.
CONGRATULATIONS COLIN!!!!!!! RESPECT FROM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎸🎸🎸🎸🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂
Although the exotic ones were "prettier", the skateboard bass was the one I wanted to buy the most.
A deserved win for Colin, if anything can inspire people to build a guitar it’s a crazy Scotsman with a rickety workbench and unsharpened chisels
Shoogly, not rickety.
Ahhh, so awesome that Colin has won! So so well deserved!
I love his videos, I love his Scottish accent and his… Scotishness in itself, and the Guitartan is just an amazingly creative work of art. _Of course_ I voted for him too.
If it's no Scottish, its crap!
Great seeing all the guitars come together for good causes. The last 40 minutes should have played Paul Simon's The sound of silence track. ( Hello darkness, my old friend. ) Great job Colin. 👍
Absolutely deserved win for Colin!!!
That Guitartan® is totally amazing....
“I might stick to the plan” 😂🤣😅🤣😂😅😂🤣🥲🤣😂🤣😂🤣😁🤣😁🤣😂😁😆😆🤣😂😄🤣😂🤣
Well done to my Scottish countryman for winning the competition, and against some incredible instruments too! Alba gu bràth!!!!
Top notch work as always Ben!!!
All of these are fantastic looking instruments!
The invitationals were great but I was blown away with home builders!
Hoots mon - that's a winner by 500 miles. Crivens!
Audio was fine for me. I've been trying to watch a bunch of the final videos that posted in the last day or two. Now off to cast a few votes...
Edit: I didn't realize the video kept playing after Ben signed off..
You deserve the votes you received. The design is unique and definitely not a garden variety six string with a flashy paint scheme. Off the beaten track placed 1st, so you're in good company. ✌
As far as I'm concerned none of these people are loosers! Thay all have wood working chops,great ideas and passion..bravo to all.
A brilliant competition- I think Tim Sway’s on point attitude to the build is to be applauded- so, could you introduce some rules preventing the waste of good wood by turning it into routing dust or cast off neck blank cuts?
Thank you for the content. Seeing processes of a heap of different builders was awesome. Shout out to Unquendor guitars. a page I wouldn't have known about without the competition. Also getting guitars which aren't trash in the hands of kids in the future. The years I spent thinking I wasn't playing well on a guitar unless I was playing cowboy chords (intonation is sold separately by most retailers)
I was hoping CS guitars would join this year’s competition, and I loved his build. I’m happy to see him win.
No audio Ben!
Again for this years contestants we have a bunch of beautiful hand crafted guitars, all winners in my book. I feel so ashamed that I cannot bid on any of them, as I'm disabled and live on $600.oo US/per month but I sure would if I could. I love them all and it's near impossible to choose between them.
they all win in my book! every builder in this vid blew my mind man! real cool !
I'm sorry Tim! I got so caught up trying to fix mine I failed to log in and vote in time! Great job to all, beautiful work on all sides.
Well deserved win for the Guitartan!
If you can get the poppy guitar played at the BBC Remembrance programme, it would be great to see and hear and watch played.....
Lou Reed , Metal Machine Music, perfect sound track for the last 40 mins...
That 4th place guitar is AWESOME
nice work colin, well deserved. on a completely unrelated and irrelevant note, there are lots of comments about an earlier version of this having an editing error - does youtube let you reupload videos to the same link now, or did they just catch an earlier version and comment again?
Nice Guitartan, the winning style V. I like it!!!
So happy for Colin.
I fell in love with the Guitartan video.
Who said Scots never won anything!! Well done Colin. I wish I had been able to bid on this awesome guitar but I'm really glad to see you being the winner, it's more than well deserved.
Love Colin for his build and that awesome Scotsman humour!
But have to ask how the he'll did 4th Street not make top ten. Or was he not in invitational. That brass 335 is an absolute master piece!
My Rank:
Scottish guitar (CSG)
3x3
detachable mandolin guitar
shelf guitar
Ben's guitar
skateboard bass
British soldier inlay guitar
Angrove guitar
heart guitar
had a problem with your site, couldn't vote for who I wanted to vote for.
The Claymore CSG guitar does hit all the design notes. Perfectly themed instrument.
I AM SURPRISED THE GLASS GUITAR FROM MORNINGSTAR DIDNT EVEN GET A MENTION THAT WAS A GREAT BUILD AND TOTALLY UNIQUE ALSO SOUNDED GREAT TO.
I’m so glad Colin won! CS Guitars finally getting more recognition
This is the sound of silence.
The GGB is taking on a life of its own. I am a so getting involved next year. Can I just say how much I love that what's on the bench. stay safe J
Thank you. Registration for GGBO opens early in the year 2022, it will be good to see you there! DC
Colin deserved to win, and he did. His guitar's made of interesting and beautiful materials, in less than ideal conditions, with custom pickups and other special odds and ends all married together by a strong theme that's carried throughout but doesn't make it just a meme guitar, because of the quality and... seriousness? Respectability? I feel the same way about it as Tamar's last year.
I don't know if the power of an established audience factored in, I'd seen some of his videos before but I don't think that influenced too much the decision people made. It just brought more eyes to the competition. This isn't in response to anyone, I just figured it would be something some people were thinking.
I don’t go for black hardware (my JS22 is changed out), but that poppy version just fits. Looks great!
all of them are very very very very cool. but that Scottish one is very nice indeed. it tickles my ancient Scottish ancestry. I wish i would currently had the time to build a guitar, i guess i need to retire first and that is a long time off..... but i will one day. i will. watch this space. --for a decade or two-- i will.....
1st things 1st I love that the flying Scotsman guitartan and I'm glad it won it is the guitar I want to own most and the video I enjoyed the most.
There is something so satisfying when your top two pics make the top the guitartan and the single piece guitar
Gotta say, while all the guitars in the invitational were excellent, the real gems are to be found in the official (or unofficial, depending on how you consider it) contest. Do yourself a favor and watch some of the non-invitational videos. MANY of those guitars are absolutely incredible. Don't be put off by the huge number of videos. You don't have to watch them all, though you might be tempted to after watching a few.
I loved Shock the Fox build. it's something new but still doesn't look too futuristic.
Damn Ben the guy who won would make me downsize to a rickety workbench damn, even his Demo Vid should get an Honorable award....
I think Colin has changed the game. I think most people will start creating more a theme like that. More eventful and dramatic creations and presentations. He deserves a seat at the main competition in my opinion. Not to take away fro literally ANYONE else. They are all geniuses as far as I'm concerned!!!
All of them were amazing guitars. The "guitartan" was cool, but I hate Vs. Love the theme though. I think your open body/suspended top was my favorite, but the brass one was also excellent as was the Poppy. I dunno, I liked them all!
I take comfort in knowing the winner had the same lack of workshop as myself. I have a freaking studio flat and No workbench. And Tamar did deserve better.
No hidden track? :-)
GUITARTAN WHEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
In Diresta's video he says about the comments on last year's GGBO video being "pretty rough" and then doubles down this year on really phoning it in.
If you are busy, don't compete.
If you can't get the videos up on time, don't compete.
Congrats Colin!
If these were all lined up, which would be most intriguing to pick up & try? - For me, it's Ben's new take on a hollow body...
Jimmy Diresta is 1 of the most talented guys I have seen, just like yourself mate
Audio Ben?
wow thank you Ben
Crimson guitars! Love your vids and ideas.
Colin definitely deserved that win
Ben, I really like your guitar. Except for that silver. Great contest!
Pride month base looks like good firewood.
Im a Canadian... with scotish english background so the guitartan was my favourite im glad he won.... but i do love bens guitar!
Please still enter, even if you decide to pull yourself from the rankings again. It helps draw attention to the build off and provides another avenue for people to learn about it and get involved.
The glass guitar was great!
No sound on this?
Glad Scotland chap won, his is great! As was Ben's in the end in my opinion. I think the order of votes were nearly perfect this time, other than detachable mandolin guy, that should have been way higher up! I didn't even see him during voting or any of the videos to be honest.
With you excusing yourself, the top 3 perfectly matches my top 3. Damn I’m good lol
I'm sorry, but I feel Jimmy phoned it in (again) on his entry. I understand he has a lot going on and is incredibly busy, but then he shouldn't take on something like this that deserves his master craftsmanship. Everyone else built their guitar from basically scratch, and all he does is take a pre-built kit and carves a heart on it and puts it together. HE DIDN'T EVEN PUT A FINISH ON IT! Any slob could've done that! Johnny's Bass should've ranked higher than Jimmy at least. I would LOVE to have that bass! Jimmy just didn't put in the time this event deserved.
It was better than last year. Although that wouldn't have been hard.
