Late additions to the site

A glossy black finish is hard enough to photograph at the best of times but even more so when trying to highlight minor imperfections. Hence the delay in listing the Black Hosco Stratocaster body. (That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it) It has some minor buffing/surface scratches under the pickguard (will be hidden) and […]

Sion’s La Cabronita mods

Sion has sent me an email detailing the steps he took to get his 2012 Fender La Cabronita set up correctly with the help of one of my aged hipshot style bridges and an Allparts bone nut. Thanks Sion! I was aware that the 2012 Cabronitas made in Mexico had some slight QC issues, but […]

I am looking to place a new Allparts order next Monday so if anyone has a special request please get in touch and let me know. A few examples of the prices I can offer including a couple of the fancier options. Jazz Bass maple neck, unfinished. Allparts price £176. My price £140 Swamp ash single […]

Linear Taper CTS pots available

The eagle-eyed may have noticed that last night a couple of new CTS lines were added to the store. Split shaft linear taper pots. Also a couple of different length shafts – the short shaft are for scratchplate/control plate mounting and the medium shaft will work for many body mount situations as well as plate […]

Post to France – Delays

According to trade forums online the air traffic controller strike in France is still causing issues with mail delivery. There is a significant backlog at Heathrow and apparently even some surface mail that arrived in France has been redirected back to the UK due to unions refusing to unload containers. So customers in France please […]

Any interest in “collect from local shop” delivery?

I am not sure if I can automate it on my site, but just to let you know I am more than happy to send courier orders to drop-off shops/access points for customers who are unable to be at home during business hours. Both UPS and Collect+ offer the option and for most locations in […]

A few new Hosco products

Well the first two are only new in the sense that now I have them for sale individually – until now I only had enough stock for the corresponding bodies. The push-fit jack cup is based on the milled cups used on the first Broadcasters. This cup is simply pressed into the hole in the […]

Nice Feedback on the Hardtail Hipshot Style bridge.

I don’t have a review section on the site (although I suppose I should) so will occasionally post messages received from customers here. A few days ago I received a nice message from Miller Anderson, a gentleman with quite a resumé, about the positive results of changing to the aged Hardtail Hipshot-style bridge on a […]

Hosco Bodies in the Store

Still one to go as the pictures are awful (gloss black is a pain to photograph) but I have the Hosco finished bodies in the store. Only one or two of each colour I’m afraid – this is a test order and unfortunately Hosco didn’t have everything I wanted in stock. First up Two Tone […]

Hosco/Gotoh shipment has arrived

I was caught out a bit as the shipment has arrived a day early, so I still have to photograph all the new products for the site and write all the descriptions etc. I hope to have it done for tomorrow evening. For now the Gotoh GTC202 bridge is back on the site, along with […]
