NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

The rare times I've been on K road I've popped in to the shop. When asked the price of an item in there Eds reply was usually 'what do you think it's worth?' I have no idea how he stays in business. The impression I got from some of his friends is that he doesn't actually need to be in business. Oo...

Excuse my ignorance, but what’s Cadenza? Is this an Auckland guitar store? It is. Owned by Ed Pausma who is a lovely guy with a perplexing business model. He's more like a collector who wants to be teased with requests to buy something without actually having to sell it. The store is an Alladdin's ...

I'd be inclined to ignore the name on the headstock and just look at it as a generic guitar. Because given its origins, it might appear under several brands. Now this isn't a bad thing; the Koreans and Taiwanese can make some fine instruments and it should be judged on its merits. Just don't go thin...

Welcome! That's an interesting bridge on the Strat, what is it? Great opportunity go get your Bonnie Raitt on. As for prices, check Trademe and Reverb for a general indication but remember they're asking, not selling prices. To be honest, replies from us might be opportunistic (though not all). But ...

They sound good so far, but in typical fashion O had it all in peices before I could play with them too much. Something that has me stumped is the cavity. It seems to have a green shielding paint under the finish. I say shielding because it the ground wire screws into it, which has also been finish...

I’m really happy with my Bosch, electronic speed control, laser sights, great depth gauge, built in clamp. What’s not to like? Kept my old Ryobi but will use for fret pressing ;) seriously https://www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/bosch-electric-bench-drill-press/p/269303?store=43&gad_source=1&gclid=C...

Pretty much done. Learned from so many mistakes with this. It looks pretty nice and clean over all but I know every little mess up that I made and it annoys me. Will finish the wire up and crank it. This is the first cab I've ever made. Cool experience. 20240320_222143.jpg Well done! The trick is t...

Ummm.... I take them off and lose them but I just noticed the G&L still has one. Probably because with typical G&L common sense design, there's a handy lack of plastic over the trem block. I also noticed it's black while the pickguard is white. So this tells me two things: I have a worrying ...

Lol, OK, it will actually be quite interesting, never seen something off a 3d printer that was actually useful! No rush, not picking it up for a couple weeks… Tony, have you been unfaithful to Bill again? You know how he reacts to that. Lol, he’s going to whip it into shape for me, get the trem wor...

Happy to 3D print a Marshall logo for it for shipping cost if the buyer wants one.... Lol, OK, it will actually be quite interesting, never seen something off a 3d printer that was actually useful!

This just made my day that much better.

Oh, and Happy NAD!

That really is a weak point - stand on a lead while plugged in and bang I have a hairline crack that makes me want to take extra care. Wireless from now on for this one may be prudent. IMG_20240319_084400_HDR.jpg That’s exactly how it unfolded. One of the reasons I always wrap my lead through my st...
