You may have noticed a couple of additions to the store. The final 5 Mighty Mite V-Profile Telecaster necks have been added to Clearance Corner. They have minor cosmetic blemishes, hence the reduction. Links to pictures of each neck and a short description are in the product info. I also have a new neck in […]

First a new addition to the store – quartersawn roasted maple Stratocaster neck. This is the roasted version of the SMO-C – 10″ fretboard radius and tall/narrow frets. The neck pictured is the neck for sale. An update on the rosewood situation. Unusually, the UK authorities have been more on the ball with sorting out […]
Just testing the waters – with the current scarcity of rosewood I ordered a few ebony board necks. Strangely the spec differ between models – the Stratocaster (SEO) has 22 jumbo frets and 12″ fingerboard radius while the Telecaster (TEO) has 21 vintage frets and 7.25″ fingerboard radius. If they prove popular I will make […]
You may have noticed a few posts on Facebook announcing the last one of a particular Mighty Mite neck, and my remark that I would not be reordering that model. Here is the situation – I will not be reordering ANY Mighty Mite necks. In the autumn Mighty Mite completely changed their dealer pricing and […]
I called the APHA before Christmas to try to get some concrete info on the future of importing rosewood. The lady I spoke to (after navigating one of the most drawn out automated exchanges ever) was very helpful. The CITES changes covering rosewood come in to effect worldwide on January 2nd 2017. From that date […]
This has been discussed on some forums for a few months now, but I finally have something concrete to share. From January 2017 (almost) all species of rosewood will have restrictions imposed on them under CITES regulations. From this announcement from NAMM “all manufacturers and retailers of musical instruments containing one or more rosewood species […]
Just a quick heads-up – if you want to order a neck or body from Allparts that I do not usually carry, please get in touch by December 6th. That should give enough time to receive items and get them out to you before Christmas. Of course this is dependent on Allparts having the stock […]
A few out of stock necks arrived today. A few pieces of each TRO, TRO-C, TRO-22, SRO-FAT. Grab them quick!
A small order just arrived from Allparts. Previously out of stock necks now back. JZRO (Jazzmaster) LMO (maple CBS headstock with bullet trussrod) LRO (rosewood CBS headstock)
Yesterday I received what may prove to be my final Mighty Mite delivery. Mighty Mite are increasing dealer prices “in the fall” which combined with the weak pound will make them unprofitable without a significant price bump. I’ll re-evaluate the situation at that time. As of today a few out of stock Strat necks are […]
