This is my nod to the Gibson Les Paul - Built in the same style of the late 1950's Les Paul's specifically. The long tenon, hide glues and fish glue, the binding nibs, the holly veneer headstock plate, the Cherry pore filler and Aniline Dyes and Nitrocellulose lacquer finish. I've deviated a bit and used Stainless steel frets and a scarf joint in the neck for added strength. I also moved the toggle switch down and went with a master tone. I hope you enjoy.

A very welcome return Sir. My own 59 Les Paul junior guitar build on my RUclips is all down to you 5 years ago now. I can’t not thank you enough for the success on my own RUclips channel, which is from your inspiration. I’ve have made guitars since 1979 as a young electrical engineer, and professionally since 2004. But without doubt or question your early videos played a big part in me setting up my RUclips channel with my grandchildren close at hand. I thank you from South Wales UK. Keep up the posts. Mike.
Thank you for coming back. Your vids are my number one source for building guitars. I’m on guitar number nine now, and I still refer back to your walk throughs.
I started actually building guitars instead of dreaming about it because of you. Glad to see you post again.
I’m so glad you’re back! You inspired me to build my first guitar, not the greatest but fun as hell to do. Just really thrilled that you’re back I look forward to more videos from you.
same for me….I also build my first, and only guitar after watching your videos. So glad to see new content from you
@@LloydAlexander58 Built a couple but my very first was because of Dave's videos!
Not hating at all,, beautiful instrument and in a lot of ways close to perfect but what could you have learned from watching CNC machines??? again, not hating, nothing but respect
@@Snowy0123 Hello Brian. At that time, no CNC were used. Only ”normal” tools so to say, drill press, planer, handheld router, band saw etc. Mr Fletcher showed us how to build a precision instrument with such a precision using these normal tools with smart techniques and smart approaches. I was very impressed by that and his methods were my foundation when I decided to build my own guitar which came out great I think, I am very pleased with it. I think business really took of for Mr Fletcher at this point and to keep up with orders of course you need to upgrade your machine park. But Brian, have a look on his early videos. You will not be disappointed. Have a great day.
Same
I have all your videos saved, and reference them quite often. Just one of the many that are thankful for your videos! So happy to see you back!
Same here! I have seen Fletcher’s videos dozens of times and helped me to built 2 guitars. I couldn’t be more happy to see he is back and upgraded to CNC. It does helps a lot, but still a lot to think and care about the process. Cheers from Brazil!
I'm so glad you're back. I return to you older videos all the time for inspiration and this one is a great addition.
Beginners make things look difficult, and masters like you make it look far too easy. Thanks for your awesome walkthrough videos.
Holy smokes. He's back! Welcome back good sir. It's always a pleasure to watch you create guitar perfection.
He's back and I bet he's got new pencils too. I've learned alot from him. Looking forward to this.
As a woodworker and finisher and guitar player. that's what I call Pride of craftsmanship, well done
👍👍🍂
Really glad you've posted this. We're all hoping you're back with more content for us.
Like so many others, you were the reason and guide for my first guitar build.
Very excited to see you back and extremely thankful that you take the time to make these incredible, inspirational and educational videos. Outstanding work as always! Thank you!
Great to see you back, your video's have inspired and guided me through two Strat builds, you've made my day/week/year!
You sir are an Artist in their prime. Amazing work, and the attention to detail is astounding. As everyone has already said, it’s great to see you back at it again. Please keep the videos coming.
Lovely work, as expected. Good to have you back!
As fine as any guitar has ever been crafted in history. Exquisite work!
Glad you're back! First guitar-making videos I came across on this platform where yours, 9 years ago! Keep them coming! Cheers
I chanced on your channel 3 years ago- went right down the guitar building rabbit-hole. Good to see you back making new videos and thanks for the inspiration!
It's nice to see how many people you've inspired over the years to build guitars. Thanks for the well made videos. Strong work on this build, as well. Beautiful guitar.
At work but will be watching this one as soon as I can....you've inspired me to take up building and on the cusp of building my own workshop to follow in your footsteps!
The king is back. Thank you for inspiring me and countless others. Can’t wait to see what you build and I look forward to learning from the greatest luthier on RUclips.
Good to see you back on RUclips, David! I'm not the first to say it, but your previous build series guided me through my first guitar builds a couple of years back. An invaluable resource!!
Great to see you again, I love your work. Your builds are always Gorgeous. WOW!!!
What an incredible craftsman you are. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing.
Great to see your work again.
Beautiful project, amazing craftsmanship and attention to detail.
It's great to see new videos. i built my first guitar watching your telecaster, stratocaster and lespaul jr series. You are an inspiration. Thank you very much!
Beautiful work! Love seeing your process!
I'm so happy to see a new video from my favourite builder! Fletcher really shows how important it is to have the right tools for the job.
Great craftmanship and very nice guitar! Thank you for sharing.
Excellent a great mix of modern and traditional techniques. Each as it’s place. It’s knowing which to place where! Well done, superb work.
Really glad to see you back. Hope to see more content from you again!!!!!
Incredible build,thank you for the upload,I’m sure she sounds like a thousand angels singing
I can't believe you're back, man! Thank you so much for uploading, I remember watching your videos back in highschool and dreaming about becoming a builder myself, now I'm in the process of building my cnc machine and soon I'll be making my own guitars.
Great video Fletcher, unbelievable work.
So happy to see that you're back on RUclipsland as Uncle Doug would say. It's nice watching you utilize the advancements of technology to your benefit. The fact that you're able to produce amazing instruments both by hand and with the use of a CNC machine is a testimony to your amazing skills!
I watched when this first posted in June and I was like "Holly Crap, He's Back!" I'll just echo so much of the positive responses and say I too watched and learned from your videos when I was trying to improve and learn and to this day you have changed and improved my builds. The feedback below from other builders and big and small is absolutely the coolest thing I have ever seen underneath any RUclips video. Well deserved and I'll be watching.....always watching..... RUclips just got way better! Cheers
This video is mesmerizing. So happy to see more videos of you making guitars! I'm getting ready to try a les Paul style build and this is going to be so informative for how I approach it. Thanks!
Brother, I am so glad to see you back on RUclips! Even if only briefly. I started building guitars about 3 years ago after having been a player for over 30 years. Your Strat Build series was one of the first things I watched on YT. I have since watched the entire series several more times. I have learned so much from you. Thank you for what you have done for me! It's changed my life man. ✌️
I'm SO happy to see you're coming back!
That was so relaxing and therapeutic to watch this build start to finish. Wonderful job my friend
Wow so cool to see a new video in here, thank you !!!!
Yahuul!! Welcome back! So glad to see you here again🙌 best regards from Brazil 🇧🇷!
Thank you for all of your videos. I've learned so much from you over the past 10 years.
Perfect! Beautiful work.
Absolutely stuning, great job and thanks for sharing!
Lovely work as always. Congratulations.
It's good to see you back at it!! Really enjoyed this build video, nice work as always!!
I just wanted to say, you are the reason I build guitars to this day. I watched your first series around 9 or so years ago and learned so much. Just wanted to say thanks for all the great information over the years. It has helped many DIY luthiers and builders like myself. Cheers!
This looks beautiful. Excited to see you back!
It's so great to have you back! Guitars RULE!
Thank you so much for everything. So glad you’re back!
Wow what a stunner. Thanks for coming back with another great video. You got me into building 5 years ago.
Cheers
Ash
So glad to see you back. Exceptional as always. Be well.
That was very enjoyable. What a beautiful guitar. Mind is blown at how much work goes into one of these pieces. All the machines, and patience make for a incredible result. Thank you.
Great to see you back on utube. Stunning guitar. Hope to see more vids in future .
Hell yeah, I'm so glad to see a new video! I learned more from your builds than any other place on the web. Hope you're doing well and find time to keep building and inspiring!
Wow. David, this is such a great video. Thank you for coming back to RUclips with this beautiful creation. I have serious shed envy. Ha!
You're back!!!! Yes, I love watching your work!
Wow. New Fletch. Must watch on the TV at home later, after work. Nice to see you again.
Thank you for the video it was a pleasure to watch care taken in your work.
Glad to see you back. Love watching your videos.
as always you did a great job, I'm glad you're back on the channel.
I have tried twice to make a Les Paul but one had a weird neck joint the other a LP Jr with a shim. Hvae made hundereds of other guitars includind a D 28 but never got a LP right. Been doing this for 40 years now. Good job. I like a simple mortise and tenon. Also some beef at the neck/hasdstock join.
why aren't you teaching your masterful skills to the gibson custom shop. I haven't seen this channel before, am so pleased it popped up, I adore gibson les pauls, and this video is a lesson in so many ways not to mention the pleasure it delivers.
I'm in Australia, I'm speechless.
Please teach the new generation of custom guitar builders, your skills are simpley too valuable.
Sir, I am blown away.
Ladies and gentlemen, he’s back!, 🥳
Very impressive. I appreciate attention to details and experience.
I waited for years to watch you build again. Loved the first series. Will watch this too!
Awesome build !!! Amazing stuff …
This is beautiful. Simply amazing

Welcome back! Always love your work!
The bloke is a genius. If you think his video’s are good, his building courses outshine the video. A good bloke to boot.

From an idea to a spectacular instrument who will be enjoyed just by playing it . Greatness has meet it's match , all done by human hands & the
Love of a true Craftsman !!!
So Glad to see more videos by the master guitar builder, I learned so much from you and your videos. Thanks Again for your expertise. Hello again from Vermont, USA. I'm the guy that sent you the ball rollers for doing binding a few years ago. take care...
I’m so glad you’re back. Your an incredible talent.

Man that was therapeutic to watch! Beautiful guitar and work.
Wonderful work as always !
Just beautiful. Congratulations.
Amazing work!!! Beautiful!
An exquisite instrument, and one heck of a return to RUclips! Delighted you are posting again.
I’ve just been made redundant, but having stashed a few nice pieces of wood in 2008 for a rainy day guitar build, I now have time and the inspiration to tackle the project. Cheers!
Good to see you back Dave, Such a beautiful guitar I hope you will be posting more:)
Great to see you back, and with some machines to take some of the load off.. very nice. Hope to see some more builds !!
👍🍁
Wow, so glad to see a video from you. Missed you. I’ve watched many guitar building videos through the years from other great builders. However I dont know what it is exactly, but your craftsmanship, attention to detail and an eye for what is beautiful is one, if not the best I’ve seen. This guitar is perfect in every way. Beautiful!!
Welcome back!
Such a great channel, very inspirational and informative!
I learned so much from you!
Just wanted to say thanks!
Outstanding work
So good to have you back! It's been a long while, but it's really nice to finally see another video of your outstanding work. The 59 is a real beauty, gorgeous... tbh it's more appealing to me than the original it's inspired from... but your guitars usually are! Keep up the great work, and keep adding content, please!
So Amazing!!! Nice work!!!
This was hypnotic to watch. Great work!
Amazing to see you back! You inspired me to start building Fletch.
👍🍁
So glad you are back. Your videos are such an incredible resource.
👍🍂
Absolutely over the moon to see you back, best news in ages :)
Incredible workmanship!
Welcome back! Very impressive video!
That's one awesome guitar you built, Mr. Fletcher. Truly in the spirit of the fabled 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard.
A guitar that would make Les Paul and Mary Ford proud, and if only they were alive today to see and play it.
Congratulations, Mr. Fletcher!
Great video Fletch, nice to see you back after a while and still creating beauties
Thats one hell of a nice guitar. Fun watching it come into being.
So good to see you post again!
Very professional and looks amazing.
