- The conclusion to the laminated neck guitar as seen in the "Joining & Gluing A Maple Cap Onto A 1 Piece Body" video previously uploaded.
The guitar is loaded with Fletcher Handwound Vintage Strat pickups
The guitar is now SOLD
10 years later and I still think this is one of the best looking guitars I’ve ever seen.
I think that's quite possibly the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen. You are a true artist!
Magnificent.
Alla)
Just from a sheer woodworking standpoint alone, this thing is a work of art.
Thankyou !
That is by far one of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen. Much better than even the big name custom shop models you can get.
Possibly the most beautiful guitar I have ever seen
Being the customer who David mentions at 5'15, I just couldn't help watching this video with a big smile! What a beautiful piece of art this guitar turned out to be. Love what you did with the headstock and man, that one-piece Queensland maple body is pure eye candy. Everyone who's thinking about buying a new guitar, look no further. David is just the nicest guy and his craftsmanship is mind blowing. I play my fletcher guitar everyday without exception and it's by far the greatest instrument I have ever played. Thanks again David!
Hey Jan ! Hope your well mate and I'm pleased to hear the Bound Strat is going well :-) Thanks for the kind words
That is easily one of the most beautiful necks I've ever seen.
+jake reinhardt Thanks Jake
Every guitar buyer should see the handicraft of guitar building before even thinking of spending any money, Great series.
Gorgeous Piece of Guitar Art..
Wow. This guitar is a work of art, gorgeous. I hope you fetched a high price for your efforts. My compliments.
wow what a beautiful piece of workmanship
Masterpiece. Amazing job. All the best to you Fletcher
This is the finest instrument i have seen in a very long time.
Man, what incredible workmanship...this blows me away. I can't imagine it took more than a day to sell this guitar, once this video started showing...
Ha, yeah it took 1 day I think :-)
When the last breath falls from my lungs and I go to play with angels, this will be the guitar waiting for me. Perfection.
David, I have watched your videos over and over. It seems no other luthier has given me the motivation quite like your videos have. Please keep posting videos. They are an inspiration to us all.
I've just been directed to your channel from another video, you where very highly spoke of so I thought I'd check you out. I'll be honest, I am not disappointed! It's truly refreshing to see someone so passionate about making beautiful instruments rather than churning out mass produced junk. Truly truly beautiful work, I'll be following your channel eagerly :)
Thanks Matthew !
Incredible. The body is sweet but that neck...woo wee! Gorgeous. I love the inlay and how it plays off the Birdseye.
The neck alone is a work of art. One of the nicest looking builds I've ever seen. incredible work
I've recommended your videos to others. While your craftsmanship is out of my pay grade, your build technique translates well into how to set up and upgrade an existing guitar to its highest potential.
Wow, very nice work! I like how the maple scarf joint transitions into the mahogany on the sides.
This build series is a continual source of knowledge and inspiration. Thanks very much.
Incredible guitar and craftsmanship!
Wow
Absolutely beautiful guitar.
All the colours blend in so well.
Outstanding work !
Thankyou
I like how it all pulled together from a design point of view. Someone is going to be a very lucky guitar owner.
Thanks Greg
That is a stunning guitar. I've recently begun "assembling" guitars and I'm thoroughly enjoying myself. But it's very humbling to see your work.
Keep the videos coming, and I'll keep watching and learning. Cheers from the States!
Stunning guitar as per usual from your hands Dave, and the most informative build videos on UA-cam. Thanks so much for taking the time film this stuff.
That queensland maple is gorgeous
Thanks mate ! :-)
I saw the front image and thought, dude! Worth a watch.
I’ve watched this video for the 5th time or so, and this is close to my Dream guitar. Just a couple of this I would have chosen differently, but it’s one of the most beautiful guitars I have ever seen. Love it.
The neck is a work of ART !!! Marvelous !
IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS. ONE OF THE NICEST GUITARS I'VE EVER SEEN
That guitar is absolutely gorgeous. Wow
You BETTER put your name on that thing, Dave. People need to know who they're looking at. That's a beautiful guitar.
Cheers mate !
Hell. If I had one of your guitars, you could put the Output Jack on the Headstock!!! It would still be a work of art!
Dunc
Thanks Dunc ! You've given me an idea for my next build ;-)
***** a headless ? :) that way the tuners are at the bridge, so close to the output jack :p
The stratogina is trad of course. Now that there are better input jack cups for the side jack that is nicer from a playing standpoint though.
@@FletcherHandcraftedGuitars whats the price for one of these? reminds me of ebmm looks nice
I watch a lot of guitar builders videos. and I must say you my friend are a craftsman.every step of wood working is done properly all the way to wipeing off thee glaze when its finished.have you ever watched many of the others? sometimes I cringe at there sanding of clear coats.lol.
It's the most gorgeous guitar i've ever seen.
My goodness that is a lovely guitar! The body, the back, the purflings, just outstanding. The neck sets it off. Your name on the headstock and the circles are just so cool looking, it's really something. You should be proud of your work here! Cheers!
Cheers Buddy !
Wow, that is well done. A beautiful instrument. Great job.
The neck is awesome. The whole guitar is gorgeous
Wow. Honestly this kicks the Fender custom shop in the ass. Such attention for detail and beautiful craftsmanship. I’ve been gathering materials to put together my own custom piece, I hope it turns out half as good as this haha
Your guitars are something else! One day when I'm big I'm buying me a Fletcher guitar.
Good afternoon, I am passionate about the art of building guitars, and I think you the best luthier in the world, have never seen such zeal and passion in a luthier to see in you, congratulations. Patrick Brazil.
Hello Patrick, I am glad you enjoyed the video ! :-)
Wow...you have some mad skills my friend. Amazing build.
Thanks to everyone that takes the time to leave a comment on my video's. I really appreciate that you all enjoy watching the video's and it inspires me to continue. And to the lurkers, post a comment, introduce yourself and say G'day !
Hello Fletcher My Name is Mehdi im Guitar player And Work in Shavings Wood longtime im Searching For Work in guitar Company Can u Help me
Hi David, this is the build I come and check everytime I feel like I need inspiration. This should be a production instrument. It's just too good.
No word of a lie, for a few times the last couple of days I wondered when you were going to put up another video :) Great timing, great guitar, great video! Thanks for showing off the finished piece!
I must have read ya mind ! ;-)
Superb craftsmanship! Enjoy your vids.
Well done David, another fantastic creation! You have a gift. Maybe one day I'll get round to building, just enjoy playing at the moment!
Thanks man, nothing wrong with just playing them ! ;-)
Dude.. just watching you work makes me feel all tingly inside.. I can really see how much you love what you do.. kinda reminds me of my own little guitar project started back in high school.. made a great looking body, never attempted the neck.. excuses were not having the money and the precision instruments needed.. especially as to how to get the fret spacings right.. I just might pick that up again.. thank you and keep 'em comin..
That is an absolutely gorgeous guitar.
I know I'm late but I'm really liking your guitars. Just found you on UA-cam but better late than never.
Loving the fact this is a hardtail. Absolutely gorgeous!
I would be proud if one of my builds looked this good mate, you have mad skills.... Keep it up. Cheers.
That is one beautiful work of Art.... Your tireless work really pays off on your vision. I love this instrument.
hi david. i just have to say that this guitar is a work of art. to say that your instruments knock any fender, or gibson etc, into a cocked hat is a huge understatement. ive never seen anything like this guitar...absolutely world class mate, you definately are THE best.
mrcrappyguitarist Hi, thankyou !

Amazing! My eyes enjoying looking this video. Is a natural antystressotherapy.
That is absolutely beautiful

very elegant guitar. Beautiful
Hi Having attempted several guitar builds I struggled with the finishing but you have made a great job of it, well done, it looks great. Keep up the good work.
Too beautiful .... I could never play a guitar that beautiful, it would be a distraction when playing it.
So beautiful, very inspiring and always great to see the builder seems like a very humble guy. All the best, god bless
Cheers mate, thankyou
Beautiful guitar very well made!! a state of the art !!
Thanks !
Excellent work! Excellent videos!
Thats a beaut friend… that maple mahogany neck scarf is really deadly… I must admit Ive never seen that before… the pearl is obviously great! and love the way you've done the finish…
Id have a hard time parting with that!!!
Gorgeous Masterpiece! Stunning!! THE most beautiful guitar I have seen…….
Absolutely astonishing work! Would love to see the scarf joint process sometime when you have a commission for it. Thank you for sharing and inspiring!
how not love an instrument made with such care! :)
certainly requires more patience to complete this project .. remarkable results, bang .. !! .. awesome job ...
Jesus thats beautiful
Thanks Stephen !
WOW! Such a stunningly gorgeous guitar. The neck makes it look like it would practically play itself. The attention to detail is just insane. Museum quality work if you ask me. Surely this work of art sold quickly. What would something comparable to this go for?
Beautiful work!
Great video and truly stunning build.
Thankyou
Awesome eye candy. Kudos David! I'm a great fan of your work and this newest guitar is no disappointment :)
Not sure what country you are in Michel but they are made by Roarockit - They have agents in a lot of different countries. I imported mine from the USA only to later find they had an Australian agent .. Just my luck !
Thanks Michel for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoy the video's !
