What a great idea. A real easy way to lock your trem’ in place. It just replaces the claw for the trem’ springs and has a rod that locks into the trem’ block. The thumb wheels can either lock the trem’ or be loosened off to allow the trem’ to move as normal.

Fender Stratocaster, pickup switch
I do love these, they look just fantastic. This one just has a slight problem with the pickup switch. A slightly dry contact somewhere leading to an intermittent contact. Switch cleaner can sometimes do the trick but ultimately the only guaranteed way is to replace it… The new one in place… That should do the […]
Custom Built Spanish 6th update
As it was a little quiet last week I did a little more on the Spanish. I’ve put some fret markers on the side of the fretboard. Using the pillar drill to drill the holes. The markers come as a long thin plastic rod. Glue the end into the holes… and cut it just slightly […]
BC Rich Bass
The inside of that case is as special as the outside! I’m not really a heavy metal fan but it’s a stunning Bass. Unfortunately the new nut I ordered isn’t big enough. I can’t find a large enough Black TUSQ one from any of my regular suppliers so I’ve had to order one from the USA. […]
A visit from the un-dead?
I had an interesting visitor with an unusual guitar in an even more unusual case. You’ve just got to love this…… Keep watching. I’ve ordered some bits, when they arrive I’ll show you what’s inside!
Spring Cleaning
How grubby is your guitar? Need a bit of a clean? It’s not something you might often bother with but it’s worth spending a little bit of time looking after your cherished guitar. This one wasn’t bad but it’s always worth giving the fretboard a light coat of oil whenever you change the strings. Some […]
Epiphone Les Paul – Fret Dress and Bone Nut
I’m often asked what’s the best way to improve an average guitar? The first thing to consider is do you want to improve the sound it makes or the way it feels to play? The first is easy, strip out the pickups and fit something special, Bare Knuckle are probably my favourite, and their choices are […]
US Fender Stratocaster HSS to SSS conversion
A nice US built Strat’ but the owner wanted it converted back to the standard three single coils. The most obvious thing is the pick-guard, I’ll have to get a new one of those or it will look naff. Rather than re-use the old switch and volume pot I think it better to replace them with new […]
Hohner Rockwood Re-build – 2nd update
I’ve had quite a problem getting the lacquer to adhere to the surface of the fretboard. However, I’ve got a good base coat on now. Once it’s good and dry I’ll use some fine “wet and dry” to blend it back to get a nice flat surface and put another half-dozen coats on. While I’m waiting for […]
Custom Built Spanish 5th Update
I don’t seem to get much time to work on this one, but it’s been a little quiet this week so I’ve finished off the bridge. The 2 white strips are bone so that the strings don’t cut into the wood when they are tied on. I’ve still got to cut the saddle for the […]
