FenderĀ® replacement bass neck
FenderĀ® PrecisionĀ® neck made by Mighty Mite appears to be well-made. The fret ends will need some beveling, but frets seem to be well-seated. Instructions for installing the neck are supplied and are well-written.

Chrome dome knobs
I purchased these to complete a solid-body bass I'm building. They're nice, heavy basic knobs that will look great on the bass when it's done.

Pearloid Pick guard material
This material was great! The pearl was better looking than that on most Fender's I've seen. It was easy to work with, and as usual shipping was quick and packaged well. The price scares most people, but remember if you don't mess up there is enough material to cut two "Strat" sized guards

Got my baby back!
I salvaged a '96 Epiphone PR160 ebony black beauty from a flea market and spent many, many hours restoring it - repaired neck, refinished, refret, new pick guard, bone nut and saddle, brass bridge pins, etc. I only got to play it for a couple of months when, one night, I was wailing on some AC-DC (don't ask) and the bridge and body just popped. I was just sick.
I'd heard about the Bridge Doctor, but was skeptical. After I installed it, the body and bridge are not only back to normal, but I swear the tonal quality is even better. I got my baby back! I plan on doing the same with an old Lyle hummingbird soon. This thing is great!

Countless uses
These things come in handy for so many projects, although I use them mostly for magnetizing pickups. I like to also screw one to my bench top and use it to hold tools.

Neat little tool
Love this thing. I use it a lot when winding pickups to verify magnetic polarity, as well as for odd jobs like determining which coil to cut for hum canceling when combined with a single coil.

Accurate PAF sound for a fair price
I put a set of these in a dual-humbucker Strat. I am really pleased with them, both in terms of sound and construction quality. I went with an Alnico V set and they are clear with just enough brightness to give "bite", but still warm and fat like a PAF should be. They really shine when overdriving a tube amp; my silverface Champ sounds like a monster with these things flogging the preamp.

Indispensable!
This is a must-have time-saving tool for the working pro tech/luthier. The only caveat is that at the narrow end of the scale, the center-to-center E-to-E tick marks for a 6 string is 1.328", and some (very very few!) necks have narrower nuts that the scale can't handle. Still, the best spacing tool around for nuts and saddles.

Wilkinson/Gotoh VSVG Strat Bridge
WOW! I can't say enough good things about this bridge. It replaced the standard 6 hole Fender tremolo. It has increased sustain and resonance, given me MUCH more intonation flexibility. Stays in tune/intonation better and because the saddles lock down to the baseplate, I don't have to re-intonate with every string change. The stock bridge required this because of all the slop in the saddles. Excellent performing and very comfortable bridge and it doesn't look out of place. Also, the trem arm has adjustable tension and it simply pulls out/pushes into the bridge block. No more screwing/unscrewing to put it back in the case, nor stripping of the threads. I could go on. This is simply the most effective and noticeable upgrade I could perform for about a hundred bucks, making a guitar I very much love a whole lot better.

Beyond Essential
Impossible Without! A friend said "Get It" and this book's WAY more than I ever imagined. Dan's got a gift from the real "Guitar God" & his ability to share the gift amazes me. The only way you won't be more than satisfied with this book is if you can't read!

Intonation at last
My old Gibson with the trapeze bar bridge was corroded and no individual string adjustment for Intonation.
This bridge plus a new tail piece allowed me to fix that.
I had to sand about 1/16ths inch off the bottom for the correct string height and it works great.

Neck Pocket Routing Template
This work great as long as you take note of the instructions. I suggest using a router bushing, like that which you'd use routing hing butts, rather than the Ball Bearing Router Bits. Then you get a nice tight fit on your neck to body joint. Other than that it works just fine. The center line is extremely helpful it getting the correct line-up.

Great switch!
Every other site I've found that sells 3PDT's sells the same cheap, blue, Taiwanese switch. Thank you StewMac for being more concerned about quality than price. Put this bad boy in there a couple months ago and it's still holding strong. Worth every single bit of the extra money! Buy it!

Great stuff for making temporary jigs or sticking parts to jigs. The applications are endless and the thinness of the tape is an enormous plus. Highly recommended.

Best Option for Me
I have a '78 Hofner (Strat Body) that needed an upgrade. One of the pots was wobbly and both were functioning poorly. After reviewing what was available, the Tele Wiring Kit fit my needs best. Since I had single coil pickups I wanted to use the 250K pots from this kit. Also, I did not use the 3way switch as mine was a 4way with chicken head knob. The included wiring diagram got me pointed in the right direction and was very helpful. I also made a close examination of everything under the pickguard before any dis-assembly. If it was more complex, I would have drawn a schematic to be sure I knew where everything belonged. Once I got everything in place, I placed the pickguard into the body cavity but did not screw it down. I had to test it now and was quite nervous at this point. In the long run, everything worked as it should have. I am quite pleased with the results, no static or dropouts and a smooth action in both knobs. Thanks for having enough variety in your wiring kits to allow me to do this upgrade.

Strength With No Stretch
As a furniture maker I use this tape to clamp or hold almost anything I'm gluing. If you can't get a clamp on it- tape it! It is the only tape I've ever used that does not stretch, unlike masking tape that stretches over time. I could not get by without this tape.

A size for every inlay string
I'm a furniture maker and have been using these inlay bits for several years. They do a great job cutting the grooves for string inlay. With all the sizes offered I can always find the exact width bit to match my stringing.

Outstanding Pickguard!
I purchased one of the Tortoloid Dreadnought Pickguards as a replacement for the original pickguard on my Martin Dreadnought. The fit was perfect. The new Tortoloid Pickguard looks fantastic on my guitar.

Good Stuff
From a can ? It is unbelievable the way this stuff works, it has a wide spray on the nozzle that works just as well as a sprayer. "If the sprayed goes down, keep a can of this around" Once again my shop smells like a Les Paul, Thanks StewMac ! I will be back.

Perfect replacement saddles
These are very good replacement parts for a floyd rose ( Genuine or Not). Good silver chrome saddles and no problem installing them, as the original ones.
Fast shipping, everything's ok =)

Playing my new guitar in the white
These bolts allowed me to secure the bridge and string up my new guitar before finishing. This ensures that any changes required for tone can be done before the finishing. Only problem is, once strung up you don't want to stop playing the guitar.

The right tool for the job
Making my first 6 string guitar and having made the bridge my self I wanted to have the right tool for reaming these very important pin holes. This is the perfect tool for the 5 degree pins. My new bone pins fit perfectly in the reamed holes.
