The number of build videos I have watched is frankly insane. There are many great builders out there, some established and some just finding their groove. That said, the one fact I take away from my experience is: Mr. Fletcher has the best hands in this business. He cuts no corners (except the wooden ones) and the end result is perfection. I can't say enough about his craft. Dying to see the "LP Jr" build. I hope to commission one of those sea-foam green Tele's in the near future! SHWEET!
Before you go the refinish route - Clear super glue can actually be scrapped back with a razor blade. Support the blade either side with some tape, just leaving a gap in the middle that will level off any high spots on the glue. You can then try to wetsand it into the surrounding area and buff with compound. Worth a try.. Good Luck
Next build will be a Gibson style 24.562" scale , set neck / scarf joint Les Paul Junior type guitar - Flat top, not carved this time. This will be a dual build, 2 guitars that a similar but different :-) Just finishing the necks, upload soon
Dave, I really enjoy the videos. I wish that I had room for a shop to set things up. Right now, I take a chance on buying an Ebay body and hope for a day when the humidity is low...Here is a question for you. My Grandson doused my Epiphone Dot Neck with super glue. I have some acetone but feel that using it to remove the glue will destroy the original finish? The peg head is black and the decal is contaminated, as is the back of the neck. Think I am looking at a refinish? Thoughts? Thanks
Wow you do it all eh? Great stuff so far. I bet you would know the answer to a question I can't find out. I have a black satin finished gtr but the spot under the high e between the pick ups that area is now polished from playing & the back of the neck is now polished from playing how could I get it back to the original finish? It's not really rare but it's a great playing gtr & stays in tune period any advice I would appreciate.
Hi, David Can you tell me all the tool you use? and how much the tool cost all the the tools you use for making an electric guitar, cause when i'm older i will make my own guitar.
Hi, I am a snakewood sawyer who is trying to learn more about what dimensions people need for their guitars. Ihave alot of snakewood, most pieces long enough for guitars
Wicked Edge Razors Hello! Check the wills easy guitar channel. He has a video on how to build templates. There he explains how to calculate dimensions. Hope you find it useful!
Hey David, can you give me the contact details of your decal supplier. I live in the UK and I believe you said in your strat series that you get them from here. Thanks.

I've been waiting for more of your videos! They've been so helpful in getting me through my first build. Can't wait to see more!
Amazing! A true craftsman and artist. I loved all 10 videos. Please post more!!!
Going to have to go back and watch that tele build again!
Congratulations with your promo video - looking great! Cheers, Jan.
Thank you so much for your reply...we love to see more your masterpieces..
Cool video Dave! Your builds are great.
Brian
Very nice David.. can't wait for the next build :)
wait wait wait, new cool videos!
perfect guitars!
Hi Fletch! Cool trailer! That was great, look forward to seeing more, very nice!
I second that, not necessarily a Les Paul, but the process of carving a top is very interesting :)
Awesome guitars by the way!
I'm expecting for your next video! Bravo!
Looks good!

I also agree!!! A Les Paul build!!
I love your attention to detail, Master Luthier bro, what is the average price of your guitars? My guess would be $3500-$5000.....
You are the best

How have I missed this??
My husband just purchased a Fletcher Electric Guitar at an auction. Any chance it would be one of yours.We are in Canada.
When will we be seeing the Les Paul build? :)
Very nice looking logo at the end. Is it the new one? Cheers.
the Best in Lutherie !!!

Thanks for the video RockKenny ;-)
