Just a quick note on the status of the Hardtail Hipshot style bridges. They were supposed to be here at the end of November, then supposed to ship today and now I’m being told they are going to ship Friday. Fingers crossed they actually do, however they won’t be here in time to get orders […]

This has been discussed on some forums for a few months now, but I finally have something concrete to share. From January 2017 (almost) all species of rosewood will have restrictions imposed on them under CITES regulations. From this announcement from NAMM “all manufacturers and retailers of musical instruments containing one or more rosewood species […]
A quick roundup – Aged round string trees, Telecaster jack cups, Stratocaster jack plates and vintage style strap pins are all now available. While I currently have stocks of all ready to go, sometimes there may be a one or two day delay in shipping while I age some from stock. Clearance Corner – one […]
Opening Times and Order Shipping Over Christmas Posted on December 16, 2015 by Axecaster Royal Mail are suggesting Wednesday 21st December as the final posting day for Christmas delivery (although not guaranteed). I will still post non-courier orders received up til noon on Thursday 22nd. All orders received after noon 22nd and until Tuesday 27th […]
Just a quick heads-up – if you want to order a neck or body from Allparts that I do not usually carry, please get in touch by December 6th. That should give enough time to receive items and get them out to you before Christmas. Of course this is dependent on Allparts having the stock […]
A few long delayed items arrived today… Our Telecaster half-bridge in chrome and nickel and (drum roll please) round string trees in nickel! Aged versions of the string trees will be ready by the weekend! (There is one other product I have to check in daylight tomorrow…)
Just added to the store – CTS vintage style pots with dimpled back. Not only are they vintage styled but they also have a 20% taper, giving a more useable sweep than modern taper pots, closer to vintage pots. Currently just split shaft but I may also add the solid shaft model.
The telephone line is out of order again – you will hear a dialling tone when calling but the phone does not ring this end. Virgin cannot send an engineer until Thursday, would you believe, so please use email for contact until it is fixed.
Not the most snappy post title I admit, but accurate! You may have experienced this – installing a new set of tuners on a brand new neck and one of the screw heads shears off, requiring a difficult extraction process. The screws are very small and if your pilot hole is too tight the smallest […]
For those of you who did not register for updates here is the latest development for Gotoh SD91 tuners. As well as another packaging change they now come with both vintage spec 8.8mm and Fender spec 9.2mm bushes. This is extremely handy, as Fender uses Ping Well tuners on most of it’s “import” range and […]
