Hey Jack.

1.  I've just taken the admin liberty of adding a link to your website in your post signature.  That's just to make it easier for me  (and anyone  else really) to find it!

2.  I see that you can make scratchplates from "An astronomical selection of colours and materials"  - but can you also make pickup rings / surrounds?  Like this ...

(for a pair of Fender Precision p'ups).

@TTony ;
Why thank you.

Yes but with grumbling. I rout hem you see and I'd have to internally rout then most likely hand file or rout the outside after - A tougher material would be better rather than the ABS or celluloid stuff I regularly make.

@jack_ellis The knobs are simple volume and tone... but they do glow in the dark

Hi Jack,

I just looked through some of your blogs and I must say I’m impressed with your work and attention to detail.

I travel to Manchester quite often, so if I ever need work doing on my guitars you’ll be my first port of call!

FWIW - I bought one of the Varitone pedals. VERY impressive. I like it *a lot*. Thanks, Jack.

Excellent, many thanks for the order matey. Been alot of hard work designing those things but they seem to be popular! I need to make another bath up of around 10 (or as many as I can stomach!!!)
