IMPORTANT NEWS- Steve's leaving!

Steve here- after nearly nine years working with Jack, five of them here at Tiny Tone, I’m moving on to pastures new (closer to my hollowed-out volcano lair in West Yorkshire).

It’s been amazing making every kind of scratchplate and pickguard imaginable over the past few years, and it’s been an absolute pleasure working with everyone to make some really cool stuff.

Jack is not going to hire/train anyone else in the immediate future* and will instead take some time to assess the next steps for Tiny Tone, whilst still running his main business, Jack's Instrument Services.

*our inbox overflows at the best of times, so we respectfully ask: please do NOT send any CVs unless we post a job advert

In the meantime, please make any pickguard orders BEFORE SEPTEMBER 1ST so I can make sure I complete everything before my leaving date.

Pedal and sheet material blank orders will continue as usual!

This isn’t the end of custom scratchplate making here in Cheetham Hill by any means, but any pickguard orders received after that date will be subject to delays/restrictions/cancellation subject to Jack’s availability.

A huge thanks to everyone that’s placed an order, sent us pictures of my work on your guitars, tagged us on socials, left us positive google reviews (165 five star reviews baby!), and generally supported a UK-based Small Manufacturer of Cool Stuff over the past few years.
Also, big thanks and best wishes going forward to Jack for being a fantastic employer/mentor/pal.

All the best!

Steve

Is your bass NOT SPARKLY ENOUGH?

Oh boy, we can certainly help 🤝

Here's a custom purple glitter guard we made for a customer's P-Bass recently. As always, we copied the original, so it was guaranteed to fit!

Purple sparkles not your thing? No worries, with over 100 sheet materials to choose from we're sure to have exactly what you need 🤘

(Very) quick explainer video of our bestseller- the Varitone Stompbox!

The Varitone Stompbox is Tiny Tone's take on a classic circuit first heard in 1959 with the introduction of the Gibson 345. Most famously heard on recordings...

Is your strat NOT HSS ENOUGH?
Is having three single coil pickups dull for you? Do you like to get spicy with your bridge pickup?

Luckily we'll mod your new pickguard to accommodate new pickups, completely free of charge!
This used to be a £7.50 add-on, but inflation sucks so we're bucking the trend and offering it with every pickguard ordered via our webform!

Shielding is also now supplied free of charge- we used to charge for this but it's not included on guitars that need it

Also we have loads of nice materials to choose from- there's something for everyone here!

Is your guitar missing something? 🤔

We recently shipped out a pair of Everly Brothers style pickguards- these feature a unique shape, beefy self adhesive backing for screw-free fitting, and add a touch of class to your guitar. Why have one pickguard when two are TWICE AS AWESOME?!

Neck sold separately...
