Happy to see you back on KZbin. I appreciate all your videos. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Dear Mr Fletcher, It's been 2 years since your last video. I hope this finds you well. I find your video of super high quality and i thought maybe you had planned to push some content again on KZbin. This would be really awesome. Sincerely, Avi

I wanted to say thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. I'm in the process of building a Jazzmaster and your Strat build has been my guide. I built a Warmoth Strat 20 years ago but I'm really enjoying this scratch build. Keep the great videos coming!

[@joelromero5346]

Please keep videos coming. You are a true master at your craft. I just ordered another template set, they are best I have found.

[@FletcherHandcraftedGuitars]

No videos for a long time now Dave I'm getting withdrawals and will have to go for counciling,a 59 les paul build should make me better.

[@airslashfury]

Coming back to this video, how did you get the Pigments shipped overseas? To me both MadInter and Stewmac won't ship this over air.

[@robertanderson8613]

Thanks for all the great videos I live in WA. State in USA I would love to see a video about some nice woods from down under and any pros or cons if any again thanks for your time

[@brucechumley9195]

Another good video. I want to do a "caramel syrup" burst edge using ColorTone dyes. Can you recommend a starting mix that I could begin with my practice piece?

[@jeffdeluca1153]

So will the transparent stain build to a solid with enough coats? Thx again

[@DrewDrums]

You're really talented at this :D

[@timsmoot5141]

Glad you're putting up videos again, yours are the best out there! You had said you were using a Canon D650 (T4i), what lens do you use?

[@FletcherHandcraftedGuitars]

HI , I think it would have been the Canon EFS 18-135 Lens I used

[@droy333]

Welcome back mate! When's the next build video? Haha

[@FletcherHandcraftedGuitars]

Soon mate. I have students in most weeks now for my build courses so finding time to film builds is hard. I do have some plans though so my channel should be more active again

[@droy333]

Awesome stuff! Excited to see a build with some new inlays from your new machine!

[@memuherdez90]

can you mix that particular pigment with polyurethane clear? or regular blender?

[@arenasportsgrillandbar7296]

Is it possible to mix pigments for use with brushes to create paintings?

[@phrankie_lewpehz]

What did you use to mix the transparency die with was that water or a separate chemical

[@FletcherHandcraftedGuitars]

Lacquer Thinner

[@LaviGuitars]

love your videos!

[@davidrichards2980]

What is that clear liquid that he mixes the liquid stain into?

[@peterschmidt9942]

It looks like you're getting your pigments/stains from stewmac. Where are you getting your lacquers? Seems a bit hard to find in Oz these days.

[@FletcherHandcraftedGuitars]

I use Mirotone Lacquer , Mirocat PC

[@peterschmidt9942]

Thanks for the heads up. Looks like there's a couple of distributors around my way which is good. That's the thing about stewmac, you can get toners and flakes but nothing else paint wise because of shipping laws to Oz! Have you tried mixing toner flakes in it or do you just use the bottled toners?

[@binnsbrian]

Good info.

[@samohtdivad]

stain looks so much better mixed in the clear ..i like much better than the water based stain that looks fuzzy and blotchy..

[@johnleonard2202]

Is it possible to hand apply a pigment?

[@FletcherHandcraftedGuitars]

Yes most definitely. Thats exactly what I did in the video I uploaded yesterday

[@martincafre9304]

the liquid stain is a natural colour. the other is like plastic colour. isn't bad, but i really like the natural

[@manplay212]

Nitrocellulose lacquer？
