All orders received since Friday 20th have now been dispatched. Regular posting/dispatch now resumes except for on New Year’s Day due to it being a Bank Holiday in England and Wales. I’m aiming to get some new photos of products up on the site over the weekend – just replacing with better quality – but […]

Collect+ are recommending December 15th as the last drop off date for delivery before Christmas, so this is the last weekend to get your order in! All orders made up to 8pm Sunday 15th will be dispatched with the Monday collection. If you miss the cutoff we can arrange a UPS 48hr service upgrade for […]
Royal Mail has published the last suggested posting dates for pre Christmas delivery. Remember these are only suggestions and (unless stated) not guaranteed, so err on the side of caution if you absolutely have to receive your order before December 25th. You can download the pdf file here but below are the relevant dates. Inland […]
Today at Axecaster Towers we fired up the humidifiers for the first time since March. We keep them running in the body/neck storeroom over the autumn/winter to help mitigate the dreaded “fret sprout”. If you’ve owned a guitar for over a year you’re probably familiar with the phenomenon – in the winter the fret ends […]
I finally got round to adding Australia and New Zealand as shipping zones to the webstore. Sorry it took so long! You can now order non-courier items up to a combined weight of 1kg (everything bar bodies and necks) directly on the website without having to contact me for a quote first. PS – let […]
Just a little tip if (like me) you are a perennial tinkerer. The small height adjustment screws on bridge saddles can be fiddly and can sometimes bind, resulting in a broken or rounded allen (hex) key. Those tiny 1.5mm keys aren’t designed for large amounts of torque and Sod’s Law it’ll happen when you don’t […]
The website was moved to a new server last night and our host changed the port used for mail, so if anyone tried the “contact us” page overnight up until 10 minutes ago we did not receive the message. Sorry. It is all working as it should now.
I am curious if there is any interest in us stocking unlacquered bakelite pickguards? Obviously price will have a bearing, but is the thought of lacquering them yourself off-putting? I’m quite taken with the raw appearance – this is how they come on the Japanese TL52. What say you?
The blog is getting about 3000 spam comments a day! I have filters set up, so most go straight to the spam folder. However as there are so many, the occasional real comment may also end up in the spam folder and be hidden amongst the chafe. So please don’t think I’m ignoring you – […]
Back in July the Music Radar (should that be one word?) forums were taken down due to a malicious attack. They are still gone! A few of the regulars took it upon themselves to start a board to cater to the suddenly homeless membership. The Fretboard. (How that name and domain have never been snapped […]
