As promised here are the Mighty Mite 2 Tone Sunburst bodies. I think I like this finish more than the 3 tone. These two have minor imperfection in the finish so are slightly reduced. I have done my best to have the photos show the blemishes in detail – they are less noticeable in real […]

All of the aged/relic hardware (except Gotoh tuners) are aged in-house by little old me. I do it in small batches so occasionally an item might go out of stock. As long as I still have the original product in stock I can usually have more ready in a day or two. At the moment […]
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 quick update – Our hardware shipment has left our supplier and is scheduled to arrive Wednesday. Wednesday is going to be a busy day!
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 […]
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.
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 […]
It would appear that Paypal made some changes to their site/server this morning, which may have resulted in orders being rejected/not completed. If you didn’t receive a confirmation email then your order was not completed and payment was not taken. I have been testing for the last 15 minutes and it appears that everything is […]
One of my customers has a Tele with a Piezo and has modded it with a La Cabronita tone switching set-up. Here’s his write-up of the process and a couple of pictures. Over to you, Terry! Put this tele-thinline together about 12 years ago with a Fishman Piezo, StewMac body and Warmouth neck ( before […]
Why did Gibson discontinue the Les Paul Junior? It’s a fantastic guitar, an equal to the Esquire. From what I read around the forums Gibson dropped it in favour of the LPj. There is no comparison – the LPj has a carved maple cap and a neck pickup! Heresy! I’m kicking myself that I didn’t […]
