For almost 18 years I have been making handmade custom coil tattoo machines .

I still make tattoo machines  in very limited amounts and continue to support and service them and supply parts. Just on a smaller scale without trading at shows.

Red Special Guitars

I have played guitar for over 40 years and more recently saw a need to supply high end custom made tremolo arms for the Brian May Guitars Red Special and LE and Super models. I play a Red Special and wasn't happy with the supplied trem bar and so my journey began into manufacturing a new item.

The tremolo bars / arms I make are in the style of the original made by Sir Brian and his dad way back in the 60's.

But, I decided to offer alternatives to just a standard original style. All of the arms and the rod that fits into the actual tremolo system ( Wilkinson Tremolos ) are solid stainless steel. ( I also make them for the original style tremolo with a threaded bar.) The brass round part the arm fixes to is available from me custom made in either brass round or hex bar, bronze round or hex bar or stainless steel round. These choices along with a choice of stainless or brass dome nuts or stainless cap nuts make for some nice looking alternatives to the standard replacement arm. I also offer Black Stainless Steel cap nuts and washers.  You can also specify length, different angles of bend and with or without spacer. Left handed ? no problem. There are plenty of options making for a true custom item.

All this at a very affordable price.

But wait, there's more.

I also offer the opportunity for you to come down to my workshops to make your own under my guidance of course. I don't just leave you to get on with it. You'll use the lathe, the metal bending tools, pillar drills, gas brazing equipment and more. There is of course an extra cost for this but you will be making a truely custom item for your RS guitar without the need to buy expensive tooling.

Please get in touch for more details of the course or how to purchase a trem bar.
