Guitar Humidifier

The number one cause of major guitar repairs is lack of humidification. Humidifying your guitar is an essential step in maintaining your instrument. The GH Humidifier hangs safely in the sound hole suspend by the instruments strings so it never touches the body of the instrument. Simply moisten the sponge, install and that's it. The humidifier releases the moisture slowly and evenly keeping your guitar perfectly humidified. When the sponge becomes completely dry, moisten it again and insert back into the soundhole.Absolutely

Previously only available installed by our custom shop,our retro-fit components are now available over the counter and by mail order! All designed and assembled in our shop,here in Cornwall.

We offer a wide variety of musically usable  components that'll upgrade your guitar or bass's tonal qualities by simply being able to solder two wires! Complete & simple

instructions included.Install it yourself or have one shop installed by us.

DVT Control One

Toss out those useless,muddy sounding tone controls in your guitar! With the Dual Voice Tone Control you get two,different filtered tones(one at each end of the pot's rotation),as well as a middle position with de-emphasized presence.You can then push down on the pot and effectively take the control out of the circuit path,giving you some upper end boost. We use specially selected mil-spec precision tone caps that ensure no-drift performance

and pinch off just the right amount of frequencies. The DVT works in any guitar or bass and especially recommended for Stratocasters,Telecasters,Ibanez as well as most basses with "lacklustre" passive tone controls.If you're a metal guitarist,the DVT makes for a dramatic improvement in your guitar's tone control,especially if your "normal" playing mode involves playing with distortion.Comes with extra caps for experimenting

 IN

DVT Control Two

This is a different version of the DVT that works like this: pull up on the switch pot and you get one voied tone,specially tapered so the control responds more accurately thru it's rotation(there is no neutral centre position).Push the switchpot knob down and you'll

get a differently voiced tone,again,with a more accurate taper.

There is no full bypass on this version so it'll still act like a conventional control when it's fully returned to "off".

Suitable for all guitars & basses equipped with passive(non active)pickups & equipped with tone control values from 250k to 500k

 IN

Dual Blend Tone A

This control again offers two differently voiced tones(one at each end of the pots rotation)but instead has a neutral centre "detent" you can feel,so you can set it quickly'Great for bass guitars as well as guitars with two separate tone controls.We include four additional precision caps so you can mod one control for the neck pickup and mod the bridge pickup, so you can get FOUR DIFFERENT tone responses(two for each pickup)by using a pair of these.Suitable for all guitars & basses equipped with passive(non active)pickups and equipped with tone control values from 250k to 500k

 IN

A specially designed version of our Dual Blend Tone Control,for guitars equipped with LO-IMPEDANCE pickups AND LO-IMPEDANCE volume & tone controls(50k value or less)like those used with EMG pickupss.Availability: TBA

Custom switches

WE assemble custom switching arrays that are bonded together,making it easier to fit inside tight spaces.The most popular is the triple mini-switch array which fits into the strat's pkp switch slot with just three closely drilled holes to accomodate the array. We can assemble an array for you with any combination of mini-switches including the hard-to-find middle position On/On/On three-way types.Also available with pre-wired harness so you can easily splice & solder your existing wiring into the harness.

Series Spkr Cable

Unlike those other "molded" Y-chords that are essentially disposable,ours aren't. We assemble all our own "y" cables ,in house,in our own shop,using heavy duty, metal, premium quality components by Neutrik and Switchcraft.The majority of Y cables

which are designed for low-level signals, are unsuitable for amp-to-speaker(power signals)so we came up with our own,special application versions with heavy gauge speaker wire to handle these higher amplified levels.Our SERIES cable lets you use two separate cabinets ,together for a combined impedance load like:

when you need to connect a pair of 4 ohm cabinets together to equal EIGHT ohms or, when you need a pair of 8 ohm cabinets to equal 16 ohms. Our SERIES cable is very useful with many amps that only offer a single 8 or 16 ohm jack on the back panel.

All connectors are heatshrinked for stran relief and added reliability.All connectors are labelled for goof-proof use.

IN

Parallel Spkr Cable

Looks the the same as our SERIES cable but, wired in parallel. If you have an amp head that only has a single output jack or if you have a pair of cabinets that are equipped with a single spkr jack on their back panel(and you're not keen on installing more jacks)then you would need this cable.If you need a pair of 8 ohm cabinets to equal a total of 4 ohms,or if you need a pair of 16 ohm speaker cabinets to total 8 ohm for your amp,this is the one to get.

IN

Our T-R-S (tip-ring-sleeve) is built for guitars that feature both,magnetic and piezo pickups that need to have their signals split and connected to separate amps,mixers,D.I.s or processors.Available from our shop with a TRS male or female(guitar end)to two separate male(or female)output connectors.

DE-Humidifier

The DE-Humidifier for guitars/mandolins/violins/ukeleles/banjos

Maintaining proper humidity levels for any acoustic instrument year round,is always an ongoing process.Every musician is well aware of what happens when humidity levels drop too low during those cold & dry Canadian winter months.Which is why there's always a good selection of highly recommended humidifiers available ,to keep your instruments "happy" during the winter season.However at the opposite end of the spectrum,during these humid summer months  that can rival Miami somedays for wicked "sticky' conditions,any given instrument can suffer just as much damage and instability but now, it's because of excess humidity levels.If you're lucky enough to have air conditioning or a room dehumidifier in your music room during the summer season,great.You're ahead of the game.If you don't,OR...you take your guitar with you,what do you do to help your guitar from getting "mugged" during these summer months?You can live dangerously and try sticking about a hundred  or more,of those dessicant packs that come boxed with that new smartphone and pray for the best.Or,You could place ONE of our high density Simple Symon DE-humidifiers in your guitar case with up to five times more humidity absorption than the industry standard.We use the same  100% pure,commercial grade material used for keeping cigar shipments fresh as well as keeping corrosion from occcuring in ammo cases .and jet engines,

(yes,jet engines!),in transit.It's all packed in a safety sealed compact container,that can fit easily in any guitar case.Besides reducing excess moisture levels,our DE-Humidifier can also help to reduce string and hardware corrosion,while your guitar is in it's case.
Recommended use from April to September,as needed,to keep excess humidity in check(but you can leave it out of the case during winter months)

SLYDERS

No more noodling around with masking tape,bits of wire or twist ties trying to keep your strings separated while you clean the fretboard or clean your pickups or guitar finish,etc
SLYDERS are grooved at both ends to retain your guitar's separated treble side & bass side strings, in place.
It's like having a third set of fingers to hold the strings aside while getting all the smudges off those covered Humbuckers!
Or adjusting that soundhole truss rod,without dinging the D and G strings.
A micro-ruler,graduated in millimeters is afixed to the face of the Slyders ,that you can use to measure and check your guitar's string action,(without teetering),as well as string height at the nut,and also pickup height.
Using the mm guage you can also adjust your saddle height incrementally,to follow the arch of your guitar's fingerboard.
On this initial production run,we'll also include a very simple,yet effective strings action guage that measures off typical string height,
referenced in,imperial units of 3/32" and 3/64" of an inch,making it much easier than straining your eyes trying to read tiny lines off a ruler.
Hand made locally,in Ontario Canada and available in a number of satin stained finishes.
Two sizes available ,one smaller size will work for banjos mandolins and guitars,and a larger set for bass guitars.  Pic1    Pic2    Pic3    Pic3   Pic4   Pic5
