Hi folks! I'd like to create an especial Tele

...someone living in Europe have bought something from http://www.axesrus.com/axecart.htm ?
I've seen there're a lot of website of guitar parts in USA, but Italian customs block normally all the things coming outside UE and wanting extra money (a part the money you have spent for the purchase, I mean)!

So, do you know Axesrus? How is the quality of the woods (bodies and necks)?
Thank you

I got a Strat neck from them a few years ago, think it was a Mighty Mite and it was perfect.
I've used them several times with absolutely no problems.

bendecaster · February 21st, 2012, 08:52 AM

Some of those bodies look pretty nice. They only do show a top view and I wonder if the bound bodies are top and back-bound, or just top-bound. Not much specifics on their site.

MrTwang · February 21st, 2012, 08:53 AM

I've only ever bought parts from them (bridges, hardware, pickups Machine Heads etc.) and they are nice helpful people to deal with, very quick and great value for money. I am in the UK and almost always get stuff from them the day after I order it. Obviously it will take longer to get to Italy but you can be sure it will be sent out straight away. They really know their stuff and only stock what they consider to be good quality and I'm sure they apply the same quality control to their bodies and necks.

I'm very tempted by their Historical series necks.

IB62 · February 21st, 2012, 08:54 AM

I have had a few bodies, necks and associated bits from them - always a great service- always ready to chat/swap emails - and good delivery- 1 thumbs up from me!

Skub · February 21st, 2012, 09:02 AM

Yeah,good to deal with.

BoogerRooger · February 21st, 2012, 09:05 AM

I've had a body and various other bits and bobs. As others have said, good value and great to deal with. Very approachable.

Yeahh!! I've seen the 21 frets, V-shape and 7,25 that could be mine!

Thank you all, folks, they seem a good deal!

BoogerRooger · February 21st, 2012, 09:56 AM

Those necks do look nice, but you usually associate early '50s necks with being chunky. On their specs, 1st fret depth is 0.84", which is the same as a CV 50s - pretty slender.

SoVeryTired · February 21st, 2012, 10:16 AM

I've only bought am electrosocket from them so far but can vouch for them delivering a good service and product on that at least.

dan79 · February 21st, 2012, 10:25 AM

+1

Used them a few times for hardware such as pickguards, saddles and tuners. I echo what everybody says - the bodies and necks do look great!

GigsbyBoyUK · February 21st, 2012, 11:48 AM

Great company that I've spent a lot of money with and always been satisfied.

If the necks were fatter I would probably have bought a couple by now.

Baaford · February 21st, 2012, 12:22 PM

Very good customer service. The necks and bodies are poly finished (or were?) and are not the high end stuff you might get from USACG or Musikraft but if you want standard parts and good service they are great.

Dave1968 · February 21st, 2012, 01:21 PM

Excellent service with quality parts. The lack of fat necks is my only issue!! :)

bookworm · February 21st, 2012, 07:56 PM

Had a few bits and pieces from them- their vintage-type tuners are fine, never had any problems, customer services have been spot on!

redstringuitar · February 21st, 2012, 08:10 PM

I haven't tried their necks or bodies but have had quite a lot of stuff off them over the last few years and, like others here, can vouch for their quality, delivery and customer service.

I reckon I'd have one on my CV50s as well......

Same opinion myself, might be trying one of their vintage v profiles soon though. Just need to get myself in a shop to play a 7.5 radius first to do how I get in with it.

AlexEP · February 22nd, 2012, 02:59 AM

Me too! I want to go to a music shop soon to try a v-shape and then decide!

Piotr · February 22nd, 2012, 06:25 AM

There is Guitar Project in Poland as well, I made my partscaster with their parts. The prices are fair. They have great necks by Willows.

Oh, and there is Rockinger in Germany, with supposedly good necks and bodies from the Czech Republic.
