When buying one of the new Hosco hardtail Strat bodies the builder will be required to position the bridge as there are no string-through holes to use as a guide. This is not as daunting as it sounds, thanks to this wonderful online resource, the Stewart-MacDonald Fret Position Calculator. Simply enter the number of frets […]

Starting off with the smallest of the new lines with slotted radiused bone nut from Hosco. With bigger string slots than the Allparts “guides” these require much less adjustment when fitting. With the added benefit of being able to be used on flat or radiused slots by removing the tab on the underside. 43mm […]
A couple of easy-fix B-stock Stratocaster necks added to Clearance Corner today. First up is a Mighty Mite MM2902 – this has a shallow indent across the back of the neck up by the first fret. This will probably sand out pretty easily if you feel the need. Second is a Mighty Mite MM2902V – […]
Perfect to protect your delicate hand from nasty long screws! Available in both 6mm and 8mm lengths (nominal length – 6mm screws are measuring 5.7mm) The 6mm are great for block saddles and the 8mm are perfect for vintage brass barrel style saddles when you need to keep the saddle low to the plate.

This neck has minor tool marks on the heel which will be hidden when fitted. EDIT>>bang! Sold in 3 hours! I will be adding a few more necks today/tomorrow, […]
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.
Strat guys – you didn’t think I’d forget you, did you? Click the pic to go to 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 […]
