My Super Sexy New Electric Guitar

[@MarySpender]

🎸 *UPDATE* ONLY 2 Guitars Left Here: bit.ly/3AiZVCz I can't believe it! Thank you for your support on this amazing collaboration. For those wondering, this link and video were made available to my Patreon supporters and Newsletter subscribers first for 48 hours.

[@LMacNeill]

£2,540 for a completely hand-made boutique guitar?! I was expecting double that price. No wonder they're selling so quickly!

[@isabellalive2.081]

You are truly Beautiful , Thank you , for Including People real people in Your education , I have seen no one do this ever !

[@user-zn6gz4ub7w]

@@LMacNeill The company can't claim they offer completely hand-made guitars being they use CNC to mill out parts.

[@LMacNeill]

@@user-zn6gz4ub7w they use the CNC to mill out the rough cuts, then finish them by hand. That’s still hand-made. That’d be like using a stamping machine to stamp out metal parts. Only the stuff that needs to be 100% precise is done by machine, and even then, it’s not finished by a machine.

[@user-zn6gz4ub7w]

@@LMacNeill You just proved my point. CNC machine cut, then FINISHED by hand. The fingerboard and neck was also CNC. Almost the entire guitar was cut and shaped by CNC. In the real guitar world those guitars are by no means completly hand made.

I am a Luthier, and I enjoy watching other Luthiers work. I'm always trying to learn new things. Congrats on the new axe. It looks wonderful.

[@SeanApplePie]

Thanks, this is the holding of good and nice 'ego' that I want from a Luthier. A warm heart for the guitar. I don't know you but will say , "keep on building."

[@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival]

That smile while playing it at the end tells the whole story!!!

I could rewatch this video forever, outstanding company, unbelievable instrument. The guitar body design is truly one of a kind. You're one lucky guitarist Mary, good for you.

[@killereverb3928]

Well alright! Mary, your guitar is a stunner! The blend of elements - woods electronics and hardware are truly thoughtful and beautiful. Nice clear warm tone - great choice of pickups as well. And well made combining much handcrafting, mill-work and The Plek treatment is really nice. Your video capturing the build is perfect. Thank you for sharing.

Although being a metal head, i absolutely love offsets. And this one shreds. Beau travail à Marceau Guitars, je vais vous suivre attentivement!

[@simonevans1838]

You are one lucky lady Mary to have such a wonderful piece of art to perform with. What magnificent workmanship from these dedicated French craftsmen. An absolute treasure indeed. Travel well Mary with your new trusty steed and continue making beautiful music. Lucky yes, deserved even more so.

[@artisans8521]

And all that on Senseo coffee, amazing. But a question, why that perpendicular grain for the neck, all my guitars had grains paralel to the neck. For a violin (I have family who build violins in Maastricht) perpendicular grain may be okay, but for a guitar neck that takes a lot more strain that instictively wouldn't be my first choice.

[@stevestarr3160]

Although I have made a few solid body guitars, I never had all the equipment these guys have, in my turn I made mine mostly by hand except for a few small power tools! So, I can appreciate the time they put into making this guitar for you! Congrats on a great looking guitar for your collection!

[@jazzrengue]

[@GuitarFool1569]

DANG!!!! That is truly a custom build. Was wondering how it was going to compare to your signature Strat sound so thanks for playing it at the end. That offset body shape is gorgeous. Love how the pick guard isn’t glossy but flat. Adds to the unique look of it. Super happy for you and your future and this beauty being with you!

[@HomesickMac]

What a lovely lovely name for the guitar model - Heartbreaker". As an owner of 7 handmade guitar by single luthier Michael Sandén here in Sweden (NOT flexing, just.. understand what goes into making a guitar) I salute this effort and... you're so worth it Mary!

[@thechameleon2636]

Why do you get from only one luthier when there are so many great ones?

[@schmoemi3386]

According to the Marceau guitars homepage the model is called "Deferlante"

[@carolmartin4413]

So impressive watching the luthiers perform their craft with such utmost attention to detail...all to create a most beautiful instrument...the earthiest of them all..the guitar.

Dear Mary, as an engineer, I really appreciate you posting this video. Often the product manufacturing is taken for granted. Thanks for giving these guys a window to the public through your channel. ( I guess you got a beautiful guitar in return) 👍😊 PS What a superbly equipped workshop these guys have..

[@faltarego]

When I was a kid, I had a small model of a Formula 1 race car. It was black with gold trim, and I thought it was just the coolest thing ever. My love of that aesthetic continues to this day. That is one super-duper sexy guitar.

Supercool video - and big respect to everybody who builds guitars by hand...

[@marquisdeceasd]

Damn!!! That thing sounds unbelievably good. I'm 56yrs old & have played many manufactures of Single coil & humbucker pickups (and don't get me wrong, I love them both) but those P90's have such a fat, crystal clear bell tone I"m just blown away. Of course the craftsmanship of the instrument can't be overstated either. I let my ears be the judge & what I heard was pure bliss. That's a lifetime achievement instrument if I ever saw one. Bien fait, Marceau Guitars! Bien fait!!!!

[@soondubu.]

I think those are Jazzmaster pickups, not P90’s, judging by the size, how the pole pieces are not screw-adjustable, and the four extra tabs for mounting the pickups rather than the two extra holes in the middle of the pickup. That’s why they have a clearer, smoother sound than most p90s!

[@Quikshiver]

@@soondubu. yeah, really dope choice on the JM pickups.

[@scottfischer7915]

Definitely Jazz Master pickups. They "look" like a large version of a p90 soapbar pickup, but are totally different in sound and construction.

[@mroldslick]

I don't play but I do admire those do. I do appreciate craftsmanship and that guitar is a work of art and it sounds simply amazing in your hands. Awesome

[@geraldponce8336]

Love the new guitar excitement. And the smell of a new guitar. Like how the fretboard was Plek'd before the frets were installed. For proper fall off and flatness. Also liked the threaded inserts in the neck for a stronger neck to body joint. Personally am not a big fan of roasted necks. But otherwise a very very good build.

Yeah, beautiful guitar Mary. I've just bought a boutique guitar from the US made by a company called Michael Kelly. It's their Hybrid special. Semi hollow all wood body with wooden humbucker covers and wooden knobs. It has two humbuckers (with split coils) and a Fishman piezo under the saddle. All three p/u can be played in any combination or individually and, using a stereo cable, the piezo and humbucker outputs can be sent to different amps simultaneously. It sounds amazing! This guitar together with my hand made Australian Maton acoustics means I sound better than I am and am in guitar heaven. Thanks for the video.

13:00 those are not P90s as you say. That's a Jazzmaster pickup. Very different things.

[@AnjektusStudio]

And how do you know that?

[@joybuzzer]

@@AnjektusStudio Very different construction. They're not even remotely similar. P90s use screw poles and bar magnets. They're similar in construction to a Gibson PAF humbucker, but in a single coil. A Jazzmaster pickup is a low-profile pickup with a very wide coil, and is wound around Alnico slugs.

[@TheOriginalRealist]

The fact that they’re both single coils is about where the similarities end for sure. Totally different animals.
