Had a few new products arrive yesterday, along with some out of stock Allparts necks. Oak Grigsby switches in 3, 4 and 5 way options are now available. Your choice of tips and slot head mount screws also available. They will probably become a permanent item, as did the CRL switches. Also made by Electro […]
Month: March 2014
Sorry for the paucity of posts recently. I have been rather busy behind the scenes and due to supplier delays have basically had nothing to report. A hardware shipment that was supposed to arrive at the end of February is now being prepared and should dispatch early next week. Depending on exactly when it leaves […]
until end of the month. The latest hardware shipment was delayed so while we would have had everything in stock from the middle of February there are a few lines getting low. The last few are reduced as they have slight imperfections in the finish – minor pitting or uneven plating. Nigh-impossible to photograph I’m […]
Due to the times of my flights tomorrow I will not be able to dispatch any orders. Tonight I will pack whatever can be dropped in a mailbox on the way to the station, however any courier orders (bodies/necks), oversized packages or tracked services will be dispatched on Thursday. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Today’s new addition to the store – Allparts TBAO-TL thinline bodies. Made in the USA from swamp ash they are 2 piece centre joined, sanded ready for finishing. I was right about the UK site having the wrong picture as they are rear mount controls (backplate supplied). Pot/switch holes are undrilled so you have your […]
When buying one of the new Hosco hardtail Strat bodies the builder will be required to position the bridge as there are no string-through holes to use as a guide. This is not as daunting as it sounds, thanks to this wonderful online resource, the Stewart-MacDonald Fret Position Calculator. Simply enter the number of frets […]
A number of sample items arrived with the Gotoh/Hosco shipment. Some will be finding their way into stock soon and some were ruled out. I need some input on this one though. Gotoh is producing a rather sexy range of vintage Telecaster bridges with their own compensated saddle design. I received one sample of the […]
Starting off with the smallest of the new lines with slotted radiused bone nut from Hosco. With bigger string slots than the Allparts “guides” these require much less adjustment when fitting. With the added benefit of being able to be used on flat or radiused slots by removing the tab on the underside. 43mm […]
The Japanese shipment actually arrived yesterday so I have had time to put most of it up on the site. We are now stocking a small selection of products from Gotoh, with plans to add more lines and colour options later this year. First up is the GTC102 Hardtail Bridge. The go-to for a lot […]
