I just got a killer hollow bar from Marty, it's a 1" X 3 3/8" bar, weighs 5.5 oz. - speedy! :) I wasn't sure it'd even be possible - the workmanship is impeccable.

Give Marty a bump .....
Just got some parts for my JCH guitar knee levers - really nice job and very reasonably priced too!

I've inserted a pic of 2 of the knee lever "paddles" (what is the correct name?) he made ...plus a pic of one of them installed.

I would like a rough estimate to refinish the end caps for my MSA. Pics show the damage.

The abraisions are not very deep but I'd like to get them removed and repolished.

Thanks,

Marty, nice job on the 1/2 tone tuner screws, and I appreciate the quick shipping, thanx! I asked Chris L. to square up with you for me as I thought it would get you the $$ quicker. I'll be ordering more soon, for sure!

leg thread adapters...

Post by Wes Hamshaw »

Marty just delivered a set of four leg adapters and they are great!

Two different guitars with different thread size for sockets and only one set of legs to use. After contacting makers of legs to be made with different than the usual size treads and receiving no response, I contacted Marty about machining adapters so the legs could fit on both. He did it.

The adapters fit beautifully and were finished to perfection down to the knurled part that you hold onto as you screw the adapter in place. The price was very fare as well.

Marty had some time problems for awhile but it appears that that's in the past.
Thanks Marty for a fine job.....Wes
