Our (very large) Mighty Mite order is being prepared for dispatch from the US. There is a small chance it could ship today, but to be safe we’ll just say it should arrive some time next week! Fingers crossed! Share this… Facebook Pinterest Twitter Linkedin
A little delayed, but our hardware shipment is now here and all products posted in the store. Out of stock items are now in stock – Gretsch G Arrow knobs, nickel Wilkinson Deluxe Machine Heads, Wilkinson Vintage Telecaster bridges – and we have a few new items. (Sorry, not necks and bodies yet, they are […]
The La Cabronita Especial from Fender has gone through a few changes since its launch. It started off as a Custom Shop Limited Edition, then a more “affordable” version was introduced as part of Fender’s “Telebration” series, and now finally Fender is producing a Mexican made “standard” version (to be released in the UK later […]

So what have I learned? Most importantly, plan ahead. I could easily have finished the entire guitar in 3 weeks if I had been more focused […]
The teaser pic in the previous entry is showing marking the hardware for hole placement. You know the saying “measure twice, cut once”? Well I must have measured and moved and re-taped half a dozen times before marking. In fact I did it in 2 steps – I drilled and fitted the pickguard first, then […]
