"Original Cellulose Nitrate Inlays"

From the same manufacturer in the 50's

Now for the first time in over four decades! Real Cellulose Nitrate inlays with a pattern that is dead on to the patterns seen in most Les Pauls from the 1950's. This material will have the same distinctive pattern as seen on most Les Paul's from 1957 thru 1960. The thickness is 0.070" with the pattern running thru the material to allow for sanding. Working with the original manufacture that supplied this material back in the 1950's. We were able to confirm the pattern style they used in the 1950's and specify the color and thickness we needed. We will be offering 2 different shapes of inlays. One shape for current Historic Les Paul trapezoids and the other a vintage trapezoid shape for older Les Paul's & SG model guitars.

Both sets are the same Cellulose Nitrate Vintage look.  Choose the pattern that will fit your guitar.

CABLES

Why should you buy a quality cable????

You do care about your tone don't you?

It is a constant source of amazement to us how many people spend a fortune on their gear and then baulk at spending a few extra quid on a decent cable. We can categorically assure you that they do make a difference - we have tested the cables that we stock and proved it to ourselves - you should do the same.

The Hifi world has known for a long time that quality cables can make a big difference to the sound of a system and a guitar rig is no different. Your cable should not be the weak link in the signal chain - it should let through the sound of your guitar with power and clarity. A poor cable will pick up interference and quickly degrade to leave you with crackles and noise which you would never put up with from other part of your rig.

Solid Cables came about through a frustration with the limitations of other standard cables. Nial McGaughey is a professional musician and like many of us had problems with cables cutting out on stage which is unacceptable - unlike the rest of us he decided to do something about it and make his own cables that he could feel confident in. The quest then became one for tone as well as durability and then nothing but the best would do.

The cables are made from oxygen free copper conductor and  hand soldered with premium grade silver alloy solder. All the contact surfaces use audiophile grade metal preservative to prevent oxidation. The cables feature triple strain relief with a woven braid outer shielding. The plugs are satin finish metal nickel diecast and all the mechanical components are chemically welded together. A 6000 psi tear resistant outer armour makes these seriously roadworthy.

Lastly we need to point out that, yes, these cables do sound better - the sound is clearer and more powerful - more of your guitar signal is getting through - that has to be a good thing! Secondly there is much less interference, something There is no doubt these are expensive leads but we believe they are a worthwhile investment and the only choice to complement the best amps and guitars.

Solid Cables are also guaranteed for life - Anything goes wrong you get a new one.
