Slightly later than I hoped, the aged hardware is now in the store. A small selection for now I am hoping to add more as time permits – knobs and jackplates are next on the agenda. I have limited numbers of each at the moment but not to worry – now I have the process […]

You didn’t think I only picked up the bridges, did you? Nickel Fender spec control plates are finally back in stock. Keep an eye out for relic versions next week. After many delays and mix-ups at the factory the gold blank control plates are finally here! I may sacrifice one or two to see if […]
I had the time to drive up to the Parcelforce East London office this morning and pick up a batch of bridges! I shall email everyone on the waiting list now but they are back in the store.
A little taster of some planned new lines – relic hardware. Starting with Fender spec control plates and neckplates in both chrome and nickel. No chemicals used on these – I am going for a gently aged look rather than out and out relic. That could of course change depending on customer feedback. The screws […]
I have just heard from my supplier that a batch of Hardtail Hipshot Style bridges will be dispatched tomorrow, so fingers crossed they will be here early next week. Sorry for the delay folks.
Still checking the hardware shipment but here are the first of our new lines. I have wanted to add a good quality reasonably priced straplock for a while and after some research and checking out reviews I decided on Marvel Strap Locks.

No photos yet as I haven‘t been able to get the blemishes to show in pics (which gives you some idea of how minor they are) but I shall […]
Just 250k and 500k audio taper at the moment, but due to the requests for solid shaft pots I think these will do for now! Fender generally uses audio/logarithmic in both positions. To delve into the murky world of pot values and tapers pots and tapers click here.
Just a little tip if (like me) you are a perennial tinkerer. The small height adjustment screws on bridge saddles can be fiddly and can sometimes bind, resulting in a broken or rounded allen (hex) key. Those tiny 1.5mm keys aren’t designed for large amounts of torque and Sod’s Law it’ll happen when you don’t […]
This morning I received confirmation from Greg in Australia that our Hipshot Style bridge will fit a 2013 Thinline! He has a 2013 Shoreline Gold Thinline and changed the bridge. Greg says “Here’s my Shoreline Gold Thinline Cab with your hardtail. Great to see the strings over the poles and the top E sitting safely […]
