Listed on the site today I now have vintage Kluson style split post tuners made by Ping Well. Ping Well makes hardware for many major guitar manufacturers – these tuners are the same as fitted to Fender’s non-US lines. I wanted something in between the Wilkinson and Gotoh price brackets. These are a step above […]

One of my favourite in-house projects has been the ageing of Fender Telecaster bridge plates. I found a method that gave repeatable results that (imo) looked like natural wear. However in 2019 Fender changed the plating process used on the Pat Pend bridge plates. Instead of the grey matte surface below the pickup hole, it […]
It’s been a while since I took on special orders but will be doing this regularly again. I will be placing my next order with Allparts before Sept 30th for delivery the following week. If there is anything I don’t usually stock that you want, get in touch and I will give you a price […]
Unfortunately the regular yearly price increase from suppliers is coming soon. Some lines have already increased and increases over and above the standard inflationary rises are coming due to increased cost of raw materials and shipping. Wilkinson machine heads have already had a price increase of 15% in October. I placed an order before the […]
I have been considering adding a few things to the store. The first up for discussion are Gotoh Telecaster knobs. I am interested in carrying both shiny new chrome and relic version. I think these are the best non-boutique relic chrome knobs on the market. They have a good knurl, a nice 52-ish flattened dome […]
It has been a while since I have made a post like this but I am about to place a new order with Hosco and Gotoh. Now is the time to get in touch if you would like me to order something I do not usually stock. Lead time will be 7- 8 weeks. Check […]
For those that missed it I have Allparts roasted maple necks back after a long absence. Quarter sawn Strat and Tele and “regular” sawn (rift? flat?). I’m not sure why the non-quarter sawn are only available in Tele but it means I can offer them for a decent saving over the quarter sawn version. I […]
It’s been a while but I have a few available. I’ tried every avenue for a cheaper alternative as prices have risen quite a lot the last 18 months (exchange rate + price hikes). My Korean supplier was going to start offering them but the cost of the mold* was excessive ($8k) so they scrapped […]
A busy start to the week – 2 hardware shipments arrived yesterday/today. The Gotoh shipment restocked Kluson style tuners, both aged and shiny along with CTS pots. The miscellaneous hardware shipment replenished chrome Wilkinson Tele bridges, Alpha A250K pots and blank Telecaster control plates. Along with the nickel “G Arrow” knobs it also contained Stratocaster […]
