How We Build a World Class Bespoke Electric Guitar

Crafting a superb bespoke instrument can be a captivating journey, one that is often mysterious to the Guitar Player. Allow us to unveil our meticulous process behind the creation of our Bartlett Retrospec model Electric Guitar, renowned for its unparalleled quality. Employing only the very best hand selected materials for each individual instrument and hand crafted in-house hardware and components, our two-person team operates within the intimate confines of our modest workshop.

This and one other gentleman from Canada are the only Luthiers I would consider to build my instrument. Fabulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. Cheers!

[@nicolasrivera5310]

Lovely video Tom!!

[@geckoalk3]

Many thanks!

[@user-mq9vj1fs2m]

nice!

[@BigBaySound]

I Love this. So cool!!

[@SDPickups]

Bet it took 100. hours or more to do the video photography and eding. Love your CNC set up, makes life so much more easy, its a really hard skill to learn. GREAT VIDEO!!!💗💗💗💗

[@geckoalk3]

I have a new appreciation for film production!

[@SDPickups]

@@geckoalk3 Having done youtube videos going back to when they first launched, I can tell you that doing this level of film/video, is a huge amount of photography, time, and EDITING. I use Final Cut Pro X, after starting out on iMovie. These days I keep them short and simple to avoid burnout. This video is first class production value and probably took months to do.

[@geckoalk3]
