🎸 *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.
@@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.
@@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 just can't believe the price for this great guitar, build from scratch. Not the usual 5000^^ How is this even possible, in Europe, in this day and age.
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."
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.
Beautiful guitar Mary, watching the care and love that goes into making these amazing instruments is enchanting....bravo to Marceau Guitars for creating such a gorgeous sounding masterpiece.
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!!!!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
I just love hand craftsmanship in all forms and this is extraordinary. The Zen of watching doesn't compare to doing but is still fulfilling. Congrats on this art being in your life.
Talk about attention to detail and TLC that goes into this piece of instrument. Much respect. And those who are fortunate to "finger" the guitar would be in heaven.
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. This craftsmanship makes me think of Monet...and the masterpieces he created. Outstanding video...happy for you..to be the receiver of this specially-crafted beauty.
As a woodworker, it was so much fun watching your video with the craftsones applying the deft touches to the smallest detail. Way beyond my skills but so much fun to watch. Your video editer's work and your voice-over made for a perfect video. The sound from that gorgeous instrument was pretty nice, indeed! You do good work, lady!
Body cut on a table saw, run through a jointer. Beautiful - really excellent work. Congrats on your new instrument and Congrats to Marceau Guitars for a masterful combination of precision machine work and hand crafted art.
That was very cool to see. Especially from a lifelong woodworker who’s done extensive custom woodworking all his life. Glad you love that new ax…It’s a beauty.
Classy guitar, fits you perfectly. I’ve followed you for a few years now and I love how your focus is on music, guitar, craft and the music business and you’re using your talents and class to deliver these things instead of your super sexy cool, which you are, but don’t need to flaunt. Congrats on the great new guitar. I’m getting a new US PRS Paul’s in a few days, my third US PRS (I have a Dodgem Blue Silver Sky as well, which I believe you also have.)
Beautiful guitar! I love the access to the upper frets and the fretboard coloration and hue are very cool. I personally prefer neck through construction over bolt-on-necks, but this guitar is awesome.
This reminds me of a Canadian series called How it's made, a show that showed how various products are produced. It showed workers in the factory building each item . Sadly it never showed a guitar (at least I don't think so, I could be wrong). If they ever bring it back, you can be the host, Mary.
the people that keep saying these so called luthiers make it look easy.....well that's because it was/is easy..... cnc machines did all the hard work......these guitars are 99% machine made and they sell them for a ridiculous price.......nothing about these guitars are original or make them anywhere near the asking price........real luthiers can and do all this work by hand they are the ones that do incredible work not the glorified computer programmers that run these companies........
@@bhollyfanhardin9627 if you ever build one, please upload a video of the entire process so I can watch. I’m not joking. I’ll watch it if you do it. I want to see this.
Wow! Watching those luthiers working was awesome. Just amazing craftsmanship throughout the whole process of building that guitar. The end result is beyond reproach. You must be so proud that they wanted to make such a special instrument to your specs. The guitar sounds wonderful.👍👍🇨🇦
That's the most beautiful guitar I've seen in a long time. Seeing a fraction of the building process was quite interesting. Hope it does you well and lasts for many years
That’s a great looking guitar Mary. I’m sure it plays amazingly!!! Congratulations on having a signature guitar. What an honor. If I could get it in another colour instead of black I’d buy one!! Beautiful!!!
Impressive build and workmanship, kudos to the company that makes these instruments. Personally I wouldn’t tint a roasted neck as over time it will achieve a warm color naturally but that’s just me being overly critical. Thanks for sharing the process, I learn so much just watching videos like this. 👍
your red strat is gorgeous, also that cover of sultans of swing is fantastic. Congrats on your own signature guitar, so cool.... Offset is awesome and yes Black and Gold is a very stylish combination, well done.
I build furniture for a living. I love watching people like these luthiers, that obviously take pride and care in what they build. May you have many years of enjoyment playing that work of art!
Your new guitar is indeed, Super Sexy! My idea of a dream vacation would be to fly to Liverpool, see a football game and then head over to the Cavern Club to watch you perform.
That is indeed an incredibly sexy guitar. That bodyshape is one of the best offset shapes I've ever seen! Their Initale model also looks amazing. Like the perfect mix between a Fender Bullet S2 and Telecaster.
I can hear that Mark knopfler influence . It is a beautiful guitar and your choice of pickups is as I would have chosen . P90's are unmatched as far as I am concerned for a rich and full sound especially in the neck pickup where others can sound muddy, weak or even muted especially when playing the E,A,D strings , P90's still maintain their mid range and treble response . Congratulations on owning a true work of art, visually and auditorily. You play beautifully and are easy on the eyes as well .
It's all beautiful - You, your playing, and that amazing guitar! There's nothing better than "New Guitar Day," but when you get something like that - it's a whole different experience. Congrats :)
Thanks for sharing this! I saw similar hi tech machinery at the Taylor factory, but still there is a lot of skilled, precise human hand work that the machines can’t do ( at least yet).
What a stunning looking and sounding guitar. That neck is a thing of beauty. A talented artist like Mary deserves to have an equally wonderful guitar bearing her name and Marceau Guitars has achieved that.
That is a stunning guitar! Congrats Mary and it looks and sounds perfect in your hands. Like you, I absolutely love gold hardware and there is something special to me about black and gold together….perfect❤
Wow. Loved this. Thanks all. (Being on the wrong side of the pond, I'll content myself with aspiring to steward (or just shepherd) one of these gorgeous instruments to its next "gig" on this crazy journey, believe it.)

£2,540 for a completely hand-made boutique guitar?! I was expecting double that price. No wonder they're selling so quickly!
You are truly Beautiful , Thank you , for Including People real people in Your education , I have seen no one do this ever !
@@LMacNeill The company can't claim they offer completely hand-made guitars being they use CNC to mill out parts.

Génial. Vraiment. Bravo !!!

It's gorgeous!
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.
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."

@@soondubu. yeah, really dope choice on the JM pickups.
Definitely Jazz Master pickups. They "look" like a large version of a p90 soapbar pickup, but are totally different in sound and construction.
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.
Has to be the Lotus John Player F1 Special.
I like especially the bass notes sound. Rich and mellow...
The building of this guitar not only looks like a work of art, you can see the pride going into the process of building it
Although being a metal head, i absolutely love offsets. And this one shreds.
Beau travail à Marceau Guitars, je vais vous suivre attentivement!
What an awesome thing!!! Love the guitar building process. And congrats Mary!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊😊😊🎵🎶🎸
Loved this...and your outro was beautiful Miss Spender.
I would never have thought a black guitar could look that fantastic. The gold hardware looks so sharp. Color me jealous.
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.
So so amazing! You deserve it and best of luck with your tour all the way from Australia xx

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!
Why do you get from only one luthier when there are so many great ones?
According to the Marceau guitars homepage the model is called "Deferlante"

She will NEVER date you.
It’s so much fun to open a new guitar 🎸. I just got one two days ago and I haven’t been able to put it down. Rock on Mary.
I just love hand craftsmanship in all forms and this is extraordinary. The Zen of watching doesn't compare to doing but is still fulfilling. Congrats on this art being in your life.
She's so beautiful!! I love seeing this kind of stuff. The care. The evolution. I wish I could "just" drop in to the UK and see you live. Much Aloha!!
Talk about attention to detail and TLC that goes into this piece of instrument. Much respect.
And those who are fortunate to "finger" the guitar would be in heaven.
I got myself a paoletti telecaster style guitar earlier this year. I LOVE IT. Hope you enjoy this new guitar as much as I like my Italian beauty
I see that smile on your face. It's like bestest Christmas present ever feeling when you were a kid.
watching your beautiful guitar being made was one of the nicest guitar videos ive seen.

Looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing. As a hobbyist I love watching other Luthier's work. Always something to learn.
It's absolutely beautiful. I hope you'll be posting some videos playing it because it's the sound that counts.
It’s soo satisfying to watch a guitar be made! Makes you really appreciate the instrument even more
Mary, what beautiful guitar. Your excitement was contagious.
Thanks so much for sharing the build video and am looking forward to playing your album in my shop tomorrow. Cheers.
I like the way that song sounded on that guitar. Very clean. Congratulations.
What a beautiful work of craftsmanship. What a beautiful look. What a beautiful sound. What a great story! 10/10 ❤

Awesome video Mary! and congratulations on your NGD!!! the guitar looks killer! 🙏
Love the growl of those P90’s at low volume .
