We have very few sets of our angled compensated Telecaster saddles left so it is time to order more. I have been thinking that I would like to have them be the same as our new vintage brass saddles with 6-32 hardware and flattened bottoms. This would keep a vintage look with the slot head […]

Just a few new lines on this order. First up we now have Marvel Strap Locks in Gold. Only £1 more than the chrome – bargain! On to the Telecaster portion now (you knew there would be one!) I have based these threaded steel saddles on the early 60s versions used by Fender. […]
Just a quick note to let everyone know that the hardware shipment has arrived. All the out of stock items have been added back to the site (push/push A500k pots, black Esquire pickguards, stainless steel narrow block saddles, Wilkinson Telecaster half-bridge,) and all the pre-order customers for our Hardtail Hipshot-style bridge have been emailed. There […]
Just a quick update – Our hardware shipment has left our supplier and is scheduled to arrive Wednesday. Wednesday is going to be a busy day!
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
