Depending on your viewing platform you need to click on “view image” to get full sized pictures. Stratocaster set. There are 3 aged white pickguards available – 57, 62 and 72. The […]

The lady I spoke to (after navigating one of the most drawn out automated exchanges ever) was very helpful. The CITES changes covering rosewood come in to effect worldwide on January 2nd 2017. From that date […]
I hope everyone had a good Christmas and enjoyed your time off. I was actually pretty busy, keeping on top of orders that came in. So “on top of it” that I have already dispatched everything that was ordered up to 6pm last night! Enough back patting… I will have an update on the CITES […]
