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.   Share this… Facebook Pinterest Twitter Linkedin

Stainless Machine Head Screws, Fillister Head Telecaster Intonation Screws

Not the most snappy post title I admit, but accurate! You may have experienced this – installing a new set of tuners on a brand new neck and one of the screw heads shears off, requiring a difficult extraction process. The screws are very small and if your pilot hole is too tight the smallest […]

For those of you who did not register for updates here is the latest development for Gotoh SD91 tuners. As well as another packaging change they now come with both vintage spec 8.8mm and Fender spec 9.2mm bushes. This is extremely handy, as Fender uses Ping Well tuners on most of it’s “import” range and […]

It was dispatched Friday but today is a holiday in Japan so it has been sitting in Tokyo Narita airport since then! Estimated arrival according to the tracking is Tuesday 17th but I am crossing my fingers and toes for a little miracle and delivery this Friday. Just to be on the safe side though […]

A batch of short shaft 250K and long shaft 500k arrived today. These are made by CTS for Allparts to their requested spec – 10% tolerance, low torque. Audio taper so the can be used for both volume and tone. Having no eyelets/tabs they are a bit more fiddly to wire up than Alpha style […]

Mighty Mite Delivery

  • Posted by Axecaster
  • Leave a comment

Yesterday I received what may prove to be my final Mighty Mite delivery. Mighty Mite are increasing dealer prices “in the fall” which combined with the weak pound will make them unprofitable without a significant price bump. I’ll re-evaluate the situation at that time. As of today a few out of stock Strat necks are […]
