These came in a small Hosco/Gotoh top-up order. Only a few to see if they are popular. A clever locking system that keeps the vintage looks without adding much weight. No thumbwheels to worry about, the string is locked automatically as the post is turned. See a demonstration video here (flash player required). As with […]

As you may have guessed from the Facebook post yesterday, the hardware shipment that was due mid-December has finally arrived. Along with steel compensated Telecaster saddles, the following are now back in stock – hipshot-style hardtail bridge, dome top knobs for solid shaft pots (chrome and nickel), flat top knobs for solid shaft pots (nickel), […]
I have just placed a new order with Hosco to beat the CITES regulations on rosewood products which come into effect on January 2nd. From Jan 2nd until they secure the necessary permits (which could take months), Hosco will not be able to ship rosewood internationally. Thankfully they have stock on hand and it will […]
Just a quick note on the status of the Hardtail Hipshot style bridges. They were supposed to be here at the end of November, then supposed to ship today and now I’m being told they are going to ship Friday. Fingers crossed they actually do, however they won’t be here in time to get orders […]
A quick roundup – Aged round string trees, Telecaster jack cups, Stratocaster jack plates and vintage style strap pins are all now available. While I currently have stocks of all ready to go, sometimes there may be a one or two day delay in shipping while I age some from stock. Clearance Corner – one […]
A few long delayed items arrived today… Our Telecaster half-bridge in chrome and nickel and (drum roll please) round string trees in nickel! Aged versions of the string trees will be ready by the weekend! (There is one other product I have to check in daylight tomorrow…)
Not the most snappy post title I admit, but accurate! You may have experienced this – installing a new set of tuners on a brand new neck and one of the screw heads shears off, requiring a difficult extraction process. The screws are very small and if your pilot hole is too tight the smallest […]
For those of you who did not register for updates here is the latest development for Gotoh SD91 tuners. As well as another packaging change they now come with both vintage spec 8.8mm and Fender spec 9.2mm bushes. This is extremely handy, as Fender uses Ping Well tuners on most of it’s “import” range and […]
All but one box with the tools, CTS pots and some special order items. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow but TNT won’t be hurrying as it is not considered late until next Tuesday! Back in stock – Gotoh “In-Tune” compensated saddles in brass and a few sets of titanium (yay!), Gotoh vintage Kluson style tuners […]
It was dispatched Friday but today is a holiday in Japan so it has been sitting in Tokyo Narita airport since then! Estimated arrival according to the tracking is Tuesday 17th but I am crossing my fingers and toes for a little miracle and delivery this Friday. Just to be on the safe side though […]
