Parts list

Posted by Dan Sleep on March 26, 2010 at 7:29pm in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion
I have added a page to my web site that has a list of the different parts we use to build our guitars. I am including a brief description and including part numbers and web links or information about where they can be purchased, when available. I thought that would be a good resource for people who are looking for sound hole grommets, and tuners, etc.

This is a work in progress.  If you have anything that you think I should add, let me know.

Thanks

    I think they may have paper for bubble jets too. Give them a call.

    Site comes up fast for me

    Too bad for me that that paper has to be used with laser jet printer

    I got excited for a minute

    Hi Iggy,
    HEY! I want to hear that Kalimba.... You got a sound check of that bad boy? Mighty nice looking pal. OMGOODNESS, it's 'lectric. Just noticed the jack, C'mon man you're killin me here. Sounds dude, sounds.
    all the best, :-)

    I have a Hugh Tracy kalimba with a piezo. People laughed. I played the "Star Spangled Banner." Then I turned up the gain and channeled my inner Jimi Hendrix. They stopped laughing. Now if I could only figure out a way to build a whammy bar into one....

    I actually made it for a musician in Brooklyn NY, and shipped it to him already. If he makes me a video of it being played, I will pass it along.

    Thanks for the parts list, very helpful.
    HEY! I want to hear that Kalimba. Holy moly, I bought a little box like 20 years ago, it's got metal tines on it. I love Kalimba but am looking for that cool sound.
