Anyone bought from Blackstar Guitars?

Seems to be one of the few seller that stocks a lot on jazzmaster parts. Or are there any others sellers/shops that you could recommend for bridge and trem parts?

    I'm a bit surprised that I'm not aware of this guy, since we are both from Derbyshire - Not sure if it is the same guy who a while ago listed a few used mid/late 60's Jazzmasters and Jaguars - I recall from Ilkeston or Alfreton area of Derbyshire

    I have a bit of an issue with items like this https://reverb.com/item/28149389-fender-neck-plate-for-eric-clapton-blind-faith-70669-tele-strat - There are 2/3 other similar listings - I don't know who makes them for him, but I know they are not Fender - Maybe for a bitsocaster then it doesn't matter

    Maybe him and other such sellers are far to liberal with the use of Fender + Gibson names

    So on that basis where he has listed say a Fender Musicmaster bridge, then I'm unsure if it is a genuine Fender part with appropriate packaging, or a part made from the likes of Gotoh, or other far eastern parts company - To be fair, where he has Gotoh parts they are listed accordingly - But I just feel there is  abit of mixed bag in their with the liberal use of the Fender name

    Well I did spot different prices for what appears to be the same items, like the Fender American Vintage 62 Jazzmaster / Jaguar Tremolo Unit & Arm USA. He has one at 140£ and another at 129£. This is why I posted here to gauge opinion.

    I assume this is a genuine part - What I'm unsure about is if it is brand new with appropriate Fender packaging as though it is a new item on display in a shop

    There is a trend for some 'shops' to break down guitars and sell them as parts - Nothing wrong with this - But most/all are not Fender authorized dealers, so as such their parts are not genuine new - They might be as new, but they are used - Not sure in this instance - I would message him and ask and ask about the packaging - If the parts are listed in the Fender parts/spares/accessories catalogue, then they do not sell such parts to dealers without packaging

    Looks to me as though clarification is required - Why 2 different prices then I don't know

    See if any other FB guys can help - I just think clarification is required - Pics don't show correct packaging like this
