We know there are many parts available, but still we have had many requests for parts, pickups, woods, etc.
So we have been searching for good parts, where we can stay competitive, and find good quality products, that live up to the standard of our guitars. At least a lot better than what you can find online.
There is a demand for Nitro finished Bodies, and we are working with a supplier, in order to hit the right spot. Nitro is difficult to handle, and the drying, as well as the final finish, is more complicated than using more modern Poly coatings, that are more resistant. But many like the uneven, slightly aged finish from Nitro, so we want to give you the choice. But finding the parts is not easy, especially at the right price.
But be sure, that we will not release products, if we are not happy with the quality. We do our own QC before shipping parts.
Most of the parts will be S & T models, plus some offsets.
We will be offering all hardware for the above, and you can mix and match from the parts we stock, regardless if you buy a complete DYI, or wish to restore, or pimp, your old guitar.
If you’re not comfortable with electronics, we have prewired pickguards, or prewired looms with pots, switches, capacitors, all ready to install.
We use DiMarzio, as we know the quality well. They have picked Switchcraft swithes, they have their own CTS made pots with Brass parts, and in general they are great. If you are building your dream guitar, its not worth saving a few bucks on poor electronics.
SO we are excited about this. Getting everything organized with SKU numbers, photos, stocking plans, etc. is a big job, but hey – we are nerds too!
