Seafoam Sparkle & Smooth Vibrato Meet Tasia – a shimmering Thinline beauty built to turn heads and steal hearts. With a lightweight ash body and classic f-hole chambering, she’s as resonant as she is comfortable, finished in dazzling Seafoam Sparkle nitro with a matching headstock that makes her look every bit as bold as she sounds. The pin-less Bigsby and Mastery bridge deliver silky-smooth wobble with rock-solid tuning stability, while the anodised aluminium guard ties the whole package together in vintage-cool style. Hardware & Feel Tasia’s body is carved from carefully selected ash, chambered for resonance and weight relief, then dressed in a paper-thin nitrocellulose lacquer that’s been subtly aged for a played-in vibe. Her one-piece maple neck is shaped into a comfortable soft “V” profile, with a vintage 7.25” radius, Jescar 6150 frets, and classic black dot inlays — giving just the right blend of traditional feel and modern playability. The Mastery bridge and pin-less Bigsby pairing makes vibrato effortless, smooth and reliable, backed up by Kluson split-post tuners and our usual premium hardware choices. Pickups & Electronics Under the hood, Tasia is powered by our hand-wound Timeless ’68 Special pickups – voiced with plenty of midrange punch, biting treble, and rounded low end. They’re expressive, dynamic, and designed to deliver that late-’60s swagger with just a little extra muscle. Wired through CTS pots, CRL switch and Switchcraft jack, she’s ready for everything from shimmering cleans to gritty overdrive.

Eternal Timeless ’62 Pickups – brought to life here by the amazing Richard Clarke, demoed in our very own “Beth” ’62-style S-Type. The Timeless ’62 is our love letter to one of the Strat’s sweetest years, reimagined with Alnico 4 magnets and a hand-guided scatter-wind. The result? A set with all the vintage sparkle you crave, but with smoother mids, sweeter highs, and that vocal-like bloom that makes every note feel alive. These are the kind of pickups that let you whisper, shout, and everything in between — whether you’re chasing soulful blues bends, glassy chords that hang in the air, or leads that sing with attitude. They’re sensitive to your touch, honest to your hands, and unapologetically musical. Quick Specs: Hand-wound with 42 AWG Heavy Formvar Alnico 4 magnets (the Goldilocks choice: not too bright, not too dark) Black bottom flatwork, nitro-lacquered bobbins, vintage cloth leads Non-RW/RP middle for wide-open, airy tones Balanced. Expressive. Full of character. The Eternal Timeless ’62 – vintage heart, modern soul, and now the voice of Beth.

This poor ’69 Mustang Bass arrived wearing one of the worst finishes I’ve ever seen - a blotchy dark blue overspray, applied with all the finesse of a garden fence paint job… while still fully assembled. Overspray was everywhere: inside the control cavity, in the pickup routs, on the neck heel, even on the ferrules. Once I stripped it down, it became clear this wasn’t its first crime scene. It had been refinished multiple times, with layers of mystery colours and mystery decisions. But first things first — the truss rod was seized solid. If it couldn’t be freed, this was going to be a very different (and far more expensive) job. Decades of experience — and a little gentle persuasion — freed the rusted nut, which I cleaned up and lubricated. Good news: we had a salvageable instrument. Beneath the awful blue was a white coat I hoped was Olympic White, but it turned out to be thick poly. Beneath that, maybe a burst… maybe Capri Orange… but it had been stripped and hacked about so many times it was hard to tell. Even the brass shielding plates were welded in place with layers of paint, lacquer, and general crud. The headstock was a masterpiece of wrong: instead of removing the old white finish, someone had painted fake wood grain over it, slapped on a decal, and lacquered the lot. The body wasn’t much better — the contours were buried, the edges bloated. Armed with a heat gun, sandpaper, and some choice language, I freed the wood from its coffin, reshaped the body lines, and straightened everything out. Then came cellulose sealer, white primer, and a fresh Lake Placid Blue nitro finish. Once cured, I “greened” it to the correct vintage shade, masked, and added the period-correct competition stripes. The headstock got a matching LPB finish and a correct gold logo decal before clear coats went on. While the finish cured, I cleaned the hardware, stripping away the old overspray, and gave the brass shielding a thinners bath to dissolve decades of grime. Originally, we’d planned just a fret dress, but the frets were barely hanging on. Worse, there was a nasty chunk missing from the treble side of the fingerboard at the 6th fret that no amount of steaming would raise. I grafted in a matching rosewood patch, re-radiused the ’board to 7.25", and installed new 6130 frets with a fresh bone nut. Finally, with the body polished and lightly aged, everything went back together: rewired with cleaned original electronics, reinstalled hardware, and a neck now playing better than it probably ever has. From “painted shut” to vintage-correct glory — this ’69 Mustang Bass is ready for another 50 years on stage.

More from the Lockdown Diaries…Say hello to “Gwen”, the one-of-a-kind Custom Eternal M-Type we built back in 2020 for our good friend Brian. This one’s got roots in offset cool, vintage Les Paul grunt, Red Special nerdiness, and a splash of Gilmour black Strat class. Yep. All that. In one guitar. We started with a lightly tweaked Meteora-style alder body, softened the contours, and shaped a comfy rounded heel. The neck? That’s where things get serious. Inspired by Brian May’s Red Special, it features: 🪵 Maple & rosewood📏 24” scale, 7.25” radius🥩 46mm nut, 26mm–30mm depth💪 A truly meaty neck carve🎯 22 x 6130 frets for vintage feel🧠 And an angled Eternal headstock—no string trees needed All dressed in an aged nitro black finish (Gilmour-inspired), loaded with a set of our PAF Replica pickups under aged nickel covers.Wired with 550k CTS pots, Switchcraft toggle, and TonePros hardware with through-body stringing, she’s got tone for days and sustain to match. Weighing in at just 7.3 lbs, Gwen is loud, sweet, and full of character—just like her owner. Custom builds don’t come more personal than this.

Steve's trusty 1974 Les Paul Special came to us with bags of mojo—but the original pickups were overly powerful and lacking definition, smearing the detail and nuance Steve thrives on. So we gave it the Eternal treatment: 🌀 A set of our custom-wound "VT90" pickups, voiced for vintage clarity and that unmistakable P-90 growl—clearer mids, sweeter highs, tighter lows. 🌀 Full electronic overhaul with CTS pots, and Switchcraft hardware, plus a nifty push/pull pot for phase reversal in the middle switch postion and vintage-correct 50s style wiring for that open, dynamic feel. Now the guitar breathes. Touch-sensitive, articulate, and full of soul—just like Steve’s playing. Hit play to hear what a proper set of pickups and a sympathetic wiring job can really do.
