Greetings musical instrument makers!

 

            We have had a few additions to the stock in the musical instrument department in the last little while, and we thought it was time to draw your attention to them.

            On the inlay front we have a new red, white, and black mosaic Classical Guitar Rosette(R7) that is rather eye catching.  We are now offering our R1ss Rosette with a 111mm inside diameter that will allow a little more space between sound hole and rosette.  New to our purfling products is Purfling P8 which is a 4.5mm wide mosaic inlay which is easiest to use straight. (i.e. for center strips on guitar backs.)

            New to hardware are sealed gear bass guitar tuning machines.  Available in 4/side and 2/side in chrome  (gold and black available by special order at this point).  For bass we are also offering a Chrome “Fender” TM style bridge.  For guitar we have a stop tailpiece and a tune ‘o’ matic bridge (both in chrome).

            In trying to keep building costs lower for guitar makers, we have decided to supply ebony and rosewood fingerboards in guitar size.  We have just lately seen our price for ebony bass fingerboards jump from $34.00 to $42.00.  Our  Ebony Guitar will cost $25.50 and the  East Indian Rosewood will cost $10.50. (Rosewood due Mid-end April)

            If you have any questions or inquiries please feel free to contact me between 8:30a.m. and 5:00p.m. Monday to Friday.

Mike
