This is a killer Dime Stealth that had some upgrades done in Black Anodized Aluminum. The y were the truss rod cover, and rear cover plates. What a beautiful job Theo did in bringing this instrument back to life!!

Jerry wanted a Satin Aluminum Rhoads Custom Pickguard in this configuration, looks sharp!

This beauty had a Custom Rhoads Guard in the configuration supplied by Dave, matches his beauty of a Mustang as well!

-------------------------------------------------

This is a beautiful Bond Rhoads belonging to Adrien. He wanted a Custom Black Anodized Aluminum guard with just the volume and switch with a matching set of Black Anodized Aluminum Pickup Rings for the other. Do these things look killer or what? Great job, my friend!

My name is Paul from Long Island, N.Y.. I have been playing guitar for close to 30 years. I currently own over 30 guitars as well as buying and trading all the time. Dave has made me many Custom parts for my guitars that look stunning and fit perfectly. He's made a few necks of mine look and play beautifully. I have also gotten hard to find parts from Dave for my Charvel guitars.

I honestly feel I can run any idea by Dave and he'll come up with a solution. His work is excellent and of the highest quality. His rates are more than reasonable and I'm honestly very comfortable to know I have Dave in my corner to keep my guitars looking and playing their best. I have no problem telling any of my guitar friends about www.fretsonthenet.com and the great parts and service they'll find there. Thank you my friend, keep up the good work."

"I lucked into a great deal on a metallic black XTRR not too long ago and was thinking that it would be an even cooler guitar with just a touch of color. Since I had heard such great things about Dave's work (and seen pictures), I asked him if he could do red anodized aluminum bezels and he said that he was just gearing up to do them. Before long I got an email saying they were ready to go. The rings are perfect; great quality, price, and service! I would and will recommend Dave to anyone and everyone!"

Thanks again,

- Eric

"I luckily happened to come across Dave's website when I was searching for
various missing parts for my NJ Series BC Rich ASM. The antique Kahler had
parts that were a bit hard to find, and the guitar came, missing a few
pieces. I looked through the website and found the locking nut hardware I
needed. Without hesitation, I sent Dave an email. Not only did he respond
right away, he pointed me right to what I needed. Thanks to Dave and his
awesome service and business, my guitar is a step closer to completion.
Here's the guitar I'm rebuilding. Thanks a bunch, Dave, I'll be definitely
coming back for any  other hardware needs!"

"One day I decided to build a parts guitar because it
was something I had never done before.  After getting
an import Charvel 375 body, the first thing I did was
get a hold of Dave.  I decided I wanted an aluminum
pickup ring in addition to the control and trem cavity
covers I would be needing.  There was only one place I
even considered getting them from, Frets on the Net.

 
The parts are the best.  They fit perfectly and the
quality is top notch.  His work is first rate and it
is a pleasure dealing with him.  This is not the first
time, nor will it be the last, that I have purchased
some parts from Dave.  Every transaction has been
extremely easy and I would suggest to anyone looking
for parts for their projects to go to Dave first.  In
fact, I have done so on many occasions.  Whenever
someone on an internet forum starts asking about
pickup rings, cavity covers, trem bars, etc. I send
them over to Dave. 

Keep up the good work and I'll
keep buying."

Hey Dave  here it is:

"Hey I have been getting parts from FretsonTheNet.com for almost 2 years now. When I decided to do a custom refinish on a Jackson RR7 Import it was a no brainer so I contacted Dave & got more quality & excellent parts custom made. I wanted to do a Randy Rhoads tribute so I had the guitar repainted , & had a bunch of parts made from Frets on the Net. Control cover, trem cover ,truss rod cover, Pick up rings for the Emg 707s, neck plate ,also  switch tip, & switch plate all custom made . The only thing on here not made but bought was the tuners, knobs & Floyd. Dave played a big part in helping me make a custom dream guitar come true.  I work in a service driven industry, so I know & appreciate good quality customer service, Frets on the Net is nothing shy of service perfection, & Quality."

"In 1992 I came across a seafoam green Charvel Surfcaster. It was and still is, dead mint. The problem was, the original case had been sold and the tremolo bar was in the case. Well, I thought I would find a bar easily enough to replace it. Wrong!  I didn't. Years passed. I gave up.

Then, Frets on the Net!!

A miracle! Dave, the tremolo bar you made is awesome! After 13 years, I held my breath when I started to install it. Then, BAM! The bar fit perfectly. Clipped in and is just like an original. Well machined. Excellent craftwork! Really great work for a very reasonable price. Many thanks for making this guitar complete!  I haven't put it down for the last two weeks. LOL!!  I'll definitely being spreading the word about Frets on the NET! 

Thanks again, Dave!

This guitar is a gas to play now!

cheers,"

"I needed a replacement trem arm for a Charvel Spectrum guitar I had acquired, and discovered that these things can be very hard to find.  Then I found Frets on the Net via a few web searches.  They couldn’t have been more helpful - an exchange of pix to confirm the exact item I needed, a quote via email, a few bucks via Paypal and the replacement was with me in a few days – and I’m thousands of miles away!  Thanks, Dave - I’ll definitely be back."

"I have come to think pretty highly of Dave Wescott, even tho I have never even met the man. We have email corresponded perhaps twenty times and have spoken on the phone probably on six occasions. He's a smart guy with a quick sense of humor and he loves what he's doing. What makes me admire Dave is that he's a man possessed, like myself, to be a perfectionist. When I give him a project (especially the ones that no other big businesses will touch) I know he's looking at all aspects of the problem, from all angles, till completion.  

When I mailed my junk Steinberger (literally) pot metal tremolo to Dave I had high hopes, but actually very low expectations it could be saved. What I got back in return was a trem that was like NEW, and had a level of workmanship that would rival the aerospace industry (I know because I worked for Boeing). Not only does it stay in tune and function as normal, but I'm sure the repairs will outlast the rest of the unit. Ned Steinberger should have made this trem like this from the beginning.

FOTN is truly a Custom Shop that just happens to be run by an artist. My hats off to you doode! if we ever meet, the drinks are on me!"

Darwin Webb

The story behind this one was as explained above by Darwin. If you look below, you can see the damage (cracking of the threaded base plate) that was done to the pivot post threads on the trem.

I completely removed the damage areas and installed threaded inserts (blue arrows) held in place by set screws (green arrows). The result is a sound and stable tremolo that can now be used! Pics below:

"I needed a set of chrome pickup rings for my Jackson mutt I was building and there's only one person who I trusted to take care of me, and that was Dave! Forget about those cheap pup rings some guitar part websites sell. Dave's talent is only matched by his devotion to his customers in providing them with the top-notch parts that they need. The pup rings he made for me were superior in quality and craftsmanship and fit my guitar perfectly. Still not convinced? Cruise over to the Jackson/Charvel guitar forum, check out the feedback section and look for the countless threads where everyone's singing his praises. Thanks, Dave! You rock!!"

"I love import Charvels, and I was getting really frustrated searching E-bay every day for the oversized pickup rings that came on some of them. I was so relieved to find Frets On The Net had everything I needed for my Charvel model 5. The new rings are made of better material than the originals, and I was even happier to find out they're oversized, yet fit a regular size pickup with no gaps around the edges! The color rings I chose match perfectly with my active pickups. I'm so glad I found this site, Dave's doing a real service for those of us who are into these types of guitars. thanks again Dave!"

Hi Dave, 

            " I just wanted to say thank you again for the RR truss rod cover you sent me. I sent you a couple of pics for you to see how it looks on my RR polka dot V I just got.........Bob "

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I have never met Dave Wescott, and all I get for singing his praises is the satisfaction of having done the right thing.  I have, however, had the pleasure of buying and using some of his parts the past three years or so, and if I had to sum up my opinion of his work in one sentence it would be this: I regret that he does not make more parts than he does, because I would love to make an entire guitar using nothing but Fretsonthenet hardware.

Here are some of the reasons why: 

·         Dave is a consummate professional – he says what he is going to do, he offers a reasonable price for doing it, then he does it.  Very very well.

·         Because each piece is made one at a time by a professional artesian, he isn’t just banging out parts to spec.  Sure, all the stuff I’ve bought from him fits perfectly (probably to tolerances too fine for my brain to appreciate) but there is an elegance to his product that I’ve never found in parts that are blow molded by the thousands in a factory where everyone speaks Mandarin.  Is it weird to think of a pickup ring as a work of art imparting its own mojo to the whole guitar?  Maybe, if you think that a Jesse James gas tank is just a place to keep gas.

·         Dave is a nice guy. 

All of this is, of course, just the opinion of one regular guy with a mundane day job and some rock and roll in his heart.  But I look forward to buying more stuff from Dave over the years, because who doesn’t like being able to buy good stuff from people they like?  If you’re going to buy it anyway, you might consider giving Dave a try – you probably won’t regret it, and if you do, you can still always go buy cheap crap somewhere else later."

"What can I say………

I needed a trem arm for a Kahler Flyer (which at the time was impossible) one email to Dave and problem sorted!

 Couldn’t ask for a better all round service……..

Honest and quick advice, the Trem arm fitted like a dream and arrived faster than most orders from within the UK.

Great bloke, 1^st class service on all levels. Cheers!"
