Hope everyone had a good weekend! We've just uploaded a new blog post.

This particular post talks about pickup height - a free, quick “upgrade” that a lot of players overlook, and how small screwdriver tweaks can noticeably change volume, clarity, sustain, balance between pickups/strings, and overall feel, with an easy before/after method to hear the difference.

Something that we see regularly in the workshop.

How 10 minutes with a screwdriver can make your guitar louder, clearer, more balanced - and nicer to play.

We have a proper luxury & rarity in the shop right now… ⚔️🥀

We’ve got a one-off in store - and if you know Abhorrent, you’ll know why that’s a big deal.

Built in the ancient Forest of Dean (nestled between the Severn and the Wye, near the Welsh border), their whole ethos is pure heavy-metal stubbornness: “That which resists, persists.”

They’re a boutique UK builder making extreme guitars and basses, “hand crafted” and “human designed”, with builds starting from your idea, and with lead times around ~18 months, having one ready to play today is genuinely rare.

In stock / in store:
