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 […]
You know our very popular Hardtail Hipshot style bridge? You of course know by now that it is a drop in replacement on the Fender Classic Player La Cabronita. Did you know it is also a drop in replacement on the Fender Blacktop Telecaster HH? Now you do!
Do you know how hard it is to photograph nickel hardware? Well I do, which is why there are no pictures of the new hardware yet – tomorrow is do-over day! As mentioned yesterday we now have a selection of nickel hardware. Fender spec control plates, neckplates, electrosockets and Wilkinson vintage Telecaster bridges. Unfortunately the […]
and this puppy was inside. Tele P90 prototype made for me by Ash at Oil City Pickups. Techie stuff – wound with 43awg to 11.7k (about equivalent output to a 8k P90 wound with 42awg). Custom made alnico 5 magnet magnet array … that has repelling poles just like a full P90. Now that’s all […]
These certainly look interesting – there is a standard 2 pickup model at 299euro, an uber-cool Bigsby model at 349euro and a bass model at 359euro. All have Fender Fidelitron pickups and come in black only. We’ll see how that price translates when they hit the UK, but going by today’s awful exchange rate, £258 […]
Check out the July issue of Guitarist Magazine. Our Hardtail Hipshot style bridge has made it onto the Fender La Cabronita long term test guitar. Thanks to Brian for the recommendation and to Josh for the write up. (Anyone have a scan of the page? My copy has not arrived yet.)
We have just the one vintage tint Telecaster neck with rosewood fingerboard left in stock. It has slightly oversized tuner holes so it is reduced to £85. Mighty Mite have significantly increased the price of the vintage tint line, so we are still debating whether or not we will be restocking them. Grab the last […]
Another lovely Allparts TMO-V neck is in the building. Check out the photos in the store – they are of the actual neck for sale. Remember, if you want to order an Allparts neck get in touch – I can usually beat their price and with free UK shipping that means a saving of around […]
Please forgive me if the packaging on orders over the next few days isn’t up to my usual standard – I seem to have sprained my left thumb/wrist and it’s making even the simplest of actions extremely painful! Fingers crossed (ouch) it will recover enough to finish assembling the new build for Sunday…
