Tremolo bridge springs for Stratocaster®

Posted by Anthony Oliver in Reviews, Tremolo springs

Whether you prefer your Fender or Squier Stratocaster set up with a floating tremolo or pinned back more like a hard tail, it is very simple to adjust the tension which gives you the variety of feels. Adding one or two tremolo springs can give you a much more solid feeling bridge and tremolo action. Many Strats are shipped with just three trem springs - this is fine for some players, but you might well need to go up to four or five, especially if you heavier gauge strings. However many you use, you should be going for a symmetrical, evenly spaced arrangement of springs.

A recent customer of this store solved a wobbly trem problem, here's what he had to say:

"Parts came super fast, 5 spring stratocaster trem is now SOLID".

You can buy them here in sets of one, three or five, with FREE UK P&P.

One-piece maple neck for Telecaster® with 57mm heel width

Posted by Anthony Oliver in Necks, Reviews, Telecaster

This one-piece maple neck for Telecaster® has been flying off the shelves here at Partscaster HQ. There are many Telecaster bodies in circulation with a 57mm neck pocket measurement, including some Japanese Telecasters and other import guitars but there are precious few stockists of the wider neck which will fit these bodies.

Not only does this neck solve the niggling neck measurement issue for wider spec bodies, it also offers unrivalled craftsmanship at this price point. Carved from a single piece of North American hard rock maple, it has a strikingly "vintage" look and feel, with a heel adjusted trussrod, bone nut, skunk stripe inlay and a vintage-tinted finish.

Here is some of the feedback we have had for this neck over the past couple of months:

"Lovely item!"

"Je suis vraiment très content de mon achat, sérieux et rapide!"

"All Good"

"Lovely neck. It will sing soon! Great seller. No problems with delivery to France"

"Beautiful neck"

"QUICK DELIVERY WELL PACKED GREAT ITEM AS DESCRIBED - RECOMMENDED SELLER".

As ever, postage is FREE to all UK destinations, £15 to Europe and £20 to all other destinations worldwide £20.

Vintage Hot AlNiCo V pickups for Strat®

Posted by Anthony Oliver in Reviews

Our Vintage Hot AlNiCo V pickups for Strat® have been creating something of a stir. One recent buyer was looking to elevate the sound of his Mexican Fender Stratocaster. Here's what he had to say:

"I am seriously impressed, they sound ridiculously Stratty if you know what I mean. Took me a bit to get the amp adjusted etc as they just sound so different from before. For the SRV/Jimi Hendrix sound we discussed they are absolutely perfect, position 2 and 4 sound really amazing, in bridge/middle they really sound like Eric Clapton around 461 Ocean Boulevard type tone."

Priced at just £29 for a full set of bridge, middle and neck pickups, this vintage voiced set will transform your Strat for a fraction of the cost of a 'boutique' brand.

As always, it's free P&P to anywhere in the UK.
