Spent a few days this week tweaking the look and functionality of the Axecaster store. Nothing ground breaking on the appearance side, just some minor adjustments and additions to make the store less cluttered on the screen. Functionality however has been improved. We have now reintroduced the Paypal Express checkout button, so customers may pay […]

The La Cabronita Especial from Fender has gone through a few changes since its launch. It started off as a Custom Shop Limited Edition, then a more “affordable” version was introduced as part of Fender’s “Telebration” series, and now finally Fender is producing a Mexican made “standard” version (to be released in the UK later […]
Apologies for the lack of updates – we are waiting for a very large Mighty Mite shipment and a shipment of new hardware. Unfortunately the Mighty Mite shipment has been delayed twice already but is now expected around August 20th (fingers crossed). The hardware shipment, with a few new lines, is expected around the first […]
The Fender American Standard Telecaster is a great guitar (pre-belly cut 2012 models, anyway!) but it has a bridge that is not compatible with vintage bridge plates. It has narrower string spacing and therefore different through hole locations. The changed string spacing can be attributed to a more modern playing style I guess – less […]

I’d love to get photos of customer builds to put on our Facebook page. Please email photos or links to your own build threads/blogs to enquiries@axecaster.co.uk Thanks. PS – we’ll definitely have an update on the Esquire build by the weekend. Promise!
Finding a way to make pots still viable to sell individually is progressing. Today I have a new packing method “on trial” which, if it passes Royal Mail size check, will actually reduce the postage cost. Fingers crossed.
Some very serious price increases. While any increase will mean a knock on increase to customers, the removal of the price bands for small packets below 750g is a crippler. At the moment, packets below 100g are £1.58. From May 1st all packets up to 750g are £2.70. Businesses who sell light cheap items are […]
Photos from Musik Messe now uploaded to our Facebook page. Musk Messe itself was a bit underwhelming for me. I had my meetings and checked out a few things, but apart from the Custom Shop relic Teles, nothing really wowed me. I was impressed with the quality of the Chinese made Fender Modern Player Series, […]
