Well the title pretty much says it all… I age these myself, going for a light patina. After ageing the gears are lubed to ensure smooth operation. I will be ageing to order, partly as I will have to age the bushes selected but also as until I gauge interest I don’t know how many […]

New in today I have these Telecaster bridges for use with Bigsbys. The bridge plate is made by Allparts and has the back edge cutouts to allow a clean string path to the Bigsby. It also has regular string through holes so you don’t need a new bridge if you remove the Bigsby! The Gotoh […]
For those of you not following our Facebook Page (and you should like/follow it as sometimes I post there and not here) here’s what has been added to the store recently. A bunch of new relic/aged products to complement the existing lines. First up Hosco vintage Telecaster bridges. An alternative to the Fender version these […]
A few new products in the Aged Hardware section today – Telecaster threaded steel and vintage brass saddles. All screws are checked before dispatch to ensure they work correctly – we want the look of old parts, not the problems! Also a couple of Fender “F” neckplates, just because.
The eagle eyed will have noticed this new section pop up yesterday – Bass Parts. It may or may not be permanent…presently the contents are parts I ordered to build my own Dusty Hill inspired Peeler-style bass. I’ve had to finally admit that it is unlikely I’ll get round to putting it together, so I’m […]
Hosco have started producing a few aged plastic pieces to compliment Gotoh’s relic range. I ordered samples of most to check them out. Depending on your viewing platform you need to click on “view image” to get full sized pictures. Stratocaster set. There are 3 aged white pickguards available – 57, 62 and 72. The […]
Just a quickie – these came with the Hosco order. These are the screws that come with Gotoh SD90/91 machine heads. I thought I’d add them as an alternative to the stainless steel screws for those that want a perfect match to their tuners, or who want the screws to age (either naturally or helped […]
The Hosco/Gotoh shipment has arrived and a couple of new products have been added to the store. Along with re-stocking the ever-popular 6-in-line relic vintage tuners I have added some 3×3 vintage style tuners in both nickel and aged nickel. If they prove popular they will be permanent lines. Also arrived – 50+ bodies! I […]
The shipment is on the way and tracking shows and ETA of Wednesday. I have emailed everyone about special orders, but in case I missed you, drop me a line. As mentioned in my last post I will be closed on Thursday (and possibly Friday) for end of year stocktake, so this (very large!) shipment […]
I saw that Wilkinson were offering this as a factory option (WVC-D) however I thought the ageing of the plate to be a little OTT. So I have aged a few myself. The saddles are removed and the plate unscrewed from the block and each aged individually. Once it is how I want it I […]
