The telephone line is out of order again – you will hear a dialling tone when calling but the phone does not ring this end. Virgin cannot send an engineer until Thursday, would you believe, so please use email for contact until it is fixed.
A couple of Telecaster bodies have been added to Clearance Corner today. First a single pickup La Cabronita body. This was bought for myself and has been sitting around for a while. I’ve come to realise I’m never going to put this one together! Offset 2 piece alder weighing 4lb 6.5oz it has a few […]
I have just realised that my phone line is playing up – incoming calls will ring but cannot be answered. Please contact me via email with any questions. EDIT>>All fixed (and yes, it was a fault at the box, which is what I told the guy on the phone!)

I have an Allparts shipment due in tomorrow however there are still a lot of necks showing as on back-order I’m afraid – TMO-C, TRO-FAT, TMO, SMO-C SRO JZRO LMO Hopefully it won’t be too much longer before we get caught up. I emailed Allparts US to confirm the radius of the nut slots for […]
I have finally made a few pickguards for my Bare-Bones bodies. I am looking for some feedback on which design is preferable – I have cut a couple of the guards that expose more of the body around the edge but I’m also considering “fattening” it up so there is a smaller border. You can […]
