Ben Wilborn guitars and video TAMCO UK
I've had some great guitars from Ben Wilborn since I met him at Healdsburg 2013 and have two wonderful examples in stock, he's just sent me this great video. He should be better known.
Here's a few photos of his work.

I'm having trouble loading the video. Here's another go.
https://youtu.be/prccig-STOc Edit: loaded now but not embedded. Can anyone advise? I used the youtube button and inserted the URL but it didn't seem to work.

Put only the end identifier in the YouTube tags. Yes, Ben's guitars are beautiful. He does some very nice woodworking detail and has a great sense of aesthetics. He deserves to be better known.

Nice video, and I looked at his website. Love the look of the "Gloria" model.

One of the few cutaway designs that is attractive to my eye!

Thanks- Glad you like the Gloria! Its a big bold sounding guitar, but with a little more midrange clarity than a dread. I'm currently building a double top nomex/redwood with Cuban mahogany for the Woodstock show in October. I can't wait to hear it...

Ben, looking forward to playing that Gloria in Woodstock!! I love a good, stiff redwood top. Very curious to hear it paired with Cuban Mahogany.
