The Japanese shipment actually arrived yesterday so I have had time to put most of it up on the site. We are now stocking a small selection of products from Gotoh, with plans to add more lines and colour options later this year.
First up is the GTC102 Hardtail Bridge. The go-to for a lot of custom builders this has a brass plate and steel saddles and modern 52.5mm string spacing. Hardtail Strats, fat teles, La Cabs, this is a very versatile bridge (and a direct drop in replacement on the Squier Vintage Modified La Cabronita).
The Fender version is a great value bridge but I couldn’t overlook the GTC202. A bit beefier with a chromed brass baseplate and steel saddles, it is also a direct replacement for Fender-spec vintage bridges.
Sticking with what I know best, next up are Gotoh Kluson style vintage tuners. These are made to vintage spec with a 1/4″ post (6.35mm) so our current conversion bushes are not compatible. I have suitable 10mm reducers for the current batch which can be selected from the drop down on the order page. (1/4″ 10mm reducers for separate sales are on the way).
Finally (for now) Gotoh Kluson style vintage tuners with aged finish! You see, sometimes my teasers do lead to a payoff! The screws and (vintage sized) bushes are also aged.
All of the above come in retail packaging (which I will attempt to photograph today). That leads me to a question – would you prefer bulk packed for a few pounds less than retail packaged? On the bridges it would also mean a saving on shipping which I could pass on as lower purchase price. Any comments, please let me know.
There are a couple of other related items that arrived but I have no stock photos for them so I’ll be taking pictures this afternoon – look for another update later today!
