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 nickel knobs are not ready but hopefully they will be here soon.
We also have our own vintage Kluson style split post tuners, in nickel. No branding on the back and 15:1 ratio. A set of these will be aged and fitted to my next build. (That’s a stock photo – actual photos of the tuners to come tomorrow).
Two more new additions – Wilkinson WV6 and WVP6 tremolos.
“A 6-screw vintage-style system but with the smooth fulcrum action of a 2 pivot set-up.
The unique Wilkinson 5+1 knife-edge eliminates the chance of screws binding in the holes, resulting in a return to original position second to none!”
Another benefit of the elongated holes is the ability to fit to bodies with mount screw spacing 54mm – 56.5mm, meaning fewer (if any) holes requiring plugging and redrilling.
Finally we’ve added parchment Esquire pickguards. An off-white/aged white for those wanting something a little less “in your face” than plain old white. You can see a comparison to our white pickguards in the photo.
I think that’s everything…
