I called the APHA before Christmas to try to get some concrete info on the future of importing rosewood. 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 […]
I have just placed a new order with Hosco to beat the CITES regulations on rosewood products which come into effect on January 2nd. From Jan 2nd until they secure the necessary permits (which could take months), Hosco will not be able to ship rosewood internationally. Thankfully they have stock on hand and it will […]
Just a quick note on the status of the Hardtail Hipshot style bridges. They were supposed to be here at the end of November, then supposed to ship today and now I’m being told they are going to ship Friday. Fingers crossed they actually do, however they won’t be here in time to get orders […]
This has been discussed on some forums for a few months now, but I finally have something concrete to share. From January 2017 (almost) all species of rosewood will have restrictions imposed on them under CITES regulations. From this announcement from NAMM “all manufacturers and retailers of musical instruments containing one or more rosewood species […]
A quick roundup – Aged round string trees, Telecaster jack cups, Stratocaster jack plates and vintage style strap pins are all now available. While I currently have stocks of all ready to go, sometimes there may be a one or two day delay in shipping while I age some from stock. Clearance Corner – one […]
Opening Times and Order Shipping Over Christmas Posted on December 16, 2015 by Axecaster Royal Mail are suggesting Wednesday 21st December as the final posting day for Christmas delivery (although not guaranteed). I will still post non-courier orders received up til noon on Thursday 22nd. All orders received after noon 22nd and until Tuesday 27th […]
Just a quick heads-up – if you want to order a neck or body from Allparts that I do not usually carry, please get in touch by December 6th. That should give enough time to receive items and get them out to you before Christmas. Of course this is dependent on Allparts having the stock […]
A few long delayed items arrived today… Our Telecaster half-bridge in chrome and nickel and (drum roll please) round string trees in nickel! Aged versions of the string trees will be ready by the weekend! (There is one other product I have to check in daylight tomorrow…) Share this… Facebook Pinterest Twitter Linkedin
Just added to the store – CTS vintage style pots with dimpled back. Not only are they vintage styled but they also have a 20% taper, giving a more useable sweep than modern taper pots, closer to vintage pots. Currently just split shaft but I may also add the solid shaft model. Share this… […]
