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 […]
“Found” during end of year stocktake these two Mighty Mite necks have minor blemishes. The Stratocaster neck has a crack in the heel. It has had superglue wicked in and has been stable for over 2 years. The rosewood (!) Tele neck has tool marks on the edge of the heel which will be mostly […]
A quick update – I received a handful of one piece mahogany telecaster bodies in the shipment yesterday. Full disclosure, they are not light, averaging around 5 1/2 pounds, but what do you expect, it’s mahogany! Pictures of available bodies with weight are now up and links can be found here. Pictures of other bodies […]
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 […]
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), […]
