Yes but his prices are not insane like other parts dealer have been in the past. He supplied my Blueshawk pickups, he even had the Fender Style Blueshawk three way pickup selector !

I paid $100 for a Gibson T bird cover several years ago- they could not be had! $36.00 is a bargain on those.

I really regret not snagging one of those bound unused mahogany Triumph necks that was for sale several on Ebay several years ago. It was the one with the bound headstock and big triangles on it, never been mounted. I think it sold for around $300?
Good luck finding another one of those!

After his stuff is gone I doubt another treasure trove is going to be coming our way. It back to insane prices, unless we go into a depression!

Those little finger rest are really nice and not too bad of a price. I have seen people wanting $50 in the past for them.

Please remember that I'm making exact replacement 60's bridges that will work as an upgrade on the Bachbird. (chrome pickups too) Shouldn't be any trouble with the tailpiece here to make the Bachbird look pretty much vintage correct. If I got a pretty good number of orders for the bridges, I'm sure I can offer them a little cheaper.

Of course I immediately sent them an email to ask how far they are with the project.

That tailpiece grows on me - very art deco-ish!

and a lot simpler to make being all 90 degree angles!

I agree it does have it's own charm

For $107!  That's a pretty sizable chunk of the BachBird price but they sure do look nice.

After this whole Skyline Decade thing, it has been about a year and that was something they already had in a US version of. I can see it taking as long as it has. Yes, it seems like a long time but, things take time for a new model production run that they need to make all new tooling and then make revisions, passing those on to the factory.

I got an email from BaCH today.
And it's good news.
I will send y'all an email tonight when I get home from work.
