Mika K.'s Gorgeous blue ESP M-1 Custom with a Polished Stainless Steel Tremolo Bar.

Thanks Mika!

"Dave,

I got the tremelo bar (Left Handed Floyd Rose Original) this morning.

You do some really fine work for great prices. It was a pleasure to do business with you and I'll be sure to have you do any work like this that I may need in the future.

Thanks again!

Best Regards,

Abe Piluszewska"

A couple of pics of Jonas T.'s Chandler project with a Polished Ring for the EMG!

"Here ya go. I just completed the guitar last night.

The rings were a real life saver, as I'm not the best router guy in the world. They covered a multitude of sins.

Thanks again.

Steve Sorrell "A Prelude To Tragedy"

What a piece of art this turned out to be, just killer!

"The parts arrived today and I had them fitted within the hour. They look amazing, I'm so pleased with what you've done! If you'd like me to send you any more pics if you wanted to use them on your site or whatever just let me know. I'd gone right off the guitar, but new Duncan pickups
and now this stuff from you has made it a keeper.

Thanks again, I love this guitar now!
Steven"

"Hello Dave;

I want to thank you. It is so hard to find these pieces and so nice to have somebody with the talent and caring to make these parts. I specialize in old peaveys and you have been a part of restoring many old Peaveys with your talent. Your pickup rings for the old T series are renown. Maybe the only person in the world making them. Thank you for your talent and care you put in your work. It will live on in the old guitars you help bring back to life and the music they will continue to make even after we are gone.

Thomas"

"Dave,

I just had to write to say what a pleasure it was to do business with you. You're Tremol-No cover plate for my USA Jackson Soloist fit perfectly. It was truly worth every penny to finish off the modification properly. It looks and functions flawlessly; it came fast, I can offer nothing but praise for you. I highly recommend this product to anyone.

Thanks again!!!

Mike"

Dave!

Thanks for the great pickup rings! They added some much needed mass to the body of my infamously neck-heavy Mockingbird, and they look great. You're making me think of going and getting the bridge fully polished or something...now it REALLY looks like garbage, what with these pretty new rings up next to it. Eh, I'm sure I'll dull them up soon enough. I play the hell out of this guitar but it's always been a chore to play it on a strap. It's still a bit neck heavy, but now it's manageable, and that's a big difference. Thanks Dave, and I'm sure I'll be getting more from you soon!

Brandon Sellers

Hi Dave, I finally got the blue pickup rings on my Ibanez. Here are the new pics.

The pickup rings look Brilliant with the color of the guitar!

Thanks again U-Rock,

Lisa

Dave,

I just got my guitar back today. The pickups look and sound great. It's a DC127 with Dimarzio Evolution pickups. Here are some pics for your website:

Thanks again,

Jim P.

Hey Dave,

Got the ring today. It's PERFECT! I couldn't be happier. The fit, the finish, everything about it
exceeded my expectations.

Thanks so much.

Cheers!
Dave

Dave,

Thanks again for the parts to help me finish my Dimarzio Earl Slick clone. The control cavity cover looks fantastic, as does the string tree.

Your work is top notch. You have a loyal customer for life.

Keep up the great work!

Bill

Dave,

Thanks so much for the excellent parts as always. Your attention to detail and precision exceeds expectation. I wanted to go with the best with one of my projects - a Model 6 shell that was painted, but back in 1988 never had anything installed or attached. I purchased brushed aluminum plates (the electronics cover had a battery box installed), pickup ring, strap buttons, and Floyd Rose-cut JT6 studs. Everything fit perfect and was a great finishing touch.

The quality even makes any parts from Germany jealous.

You rock, dude!

Peace -

Dave

Dave I just received the pick up rings. They are soooo Awesome! Thank You!

Here is a pic of me with my Ibanez how she looks now.

Take Care and my prayers go out to you and your wife. God Bless.

My cat's name is Tiger and yes....he is a Rocker. LOL

Hey Dave (Budman68). .

just wanted to let you and all the members know that the custom "polished brass"

truss rod cover I ordered from you "fretsonthenet" looks killer on my San Dimas.

It was the final touch & last piece to finish my Charvels gold/brass HDWR theme.

I was impressed with the hi quality & workmanship of the new brass TR cover.

It def had some weight to it (HD)and fit perfect w/mirror shine,glad I got the 3 screws in gold too.

Here is what im talking about:

Just a gorgeous instrument!!!

Hey Dave,

Thanks for the great work you did on those parts. You are talented at
what you do. Just made her look that much cooler. I hope I can
contact you in the future for small projects like this if necessary.

Have a good one, keep up the fantastic work. If you need different
shots, let me know.

Matthew Kennedy

Matthew asked me to make him some laminated tortoise pickup rings, pickguard and switch plate for his Supro.

I think it came out beautifully and was a great color choice on Matt's part!

"Dave,

Well it's finally finished all the parts I was stashing away while I was in Iraq, many thanks for the great stuff you provided.

Vince"

I helped Vince with the polished Stainless Steel tremolo bar, polished aluminum back plates and truss rod cover

in which he had engraved appropriately "Silver Surfer"

Looks great Vince and welcome home!

"Hi Dave,

Hope all is well with you and your wife and family.

Once again, your custom work in these rings fit perfectly and make a huge difference in the appearance. I've included another round of pictures(links below). Two other pictures are a tip on keeping the rings still while drilling and drilling. ANYONE with a bass having T-Bird sized pickups MUST get these rings for a great visual upgrade to their bass(es). Even the black plastic ones look better with these rings according to those at bass forums.

Thank you for making a great piece for bass-playing chrome lovers!

Here is Carl's mini tutorial!

Keep the rings/pickups centered:

Don't drill too far! Mark the bit:

"I bought this modified Charvel Model 2 from Ebay, I say modified because as you know the Model 2 came with just a double in the rear and only a volume knob. This model has a Jackson single coil in the neck postion and a two way selector for each pickup. Needed a setup and cleaning and did not come with a tremolo arm for the Floyd Rose, I figured finding one on the net or Ebay would be pretty easy, well after searching and searching surprisingly I was having a real hard time.

That was until I found Dave at fretsonthenet and found out he custom makes parts for these older guitars. Ordered a trem arm and a spring cover plate. Pparts arrived and worked perfect, everything fit and I emailed Dave with the subject line reading WOW !!!!!!!!! This guy makes a superior product and could charge triple and still get it because of the attention to detail and the care he puts into his work. I'm looking for a 90's Kramer and will call on Dave i'm sure to restore it back to new.

Dave you rock big time !!!! "

Thanks so much, Jimmy!

A couple of shots of Jimmy's shred machine:

"Time to brag about one of my "new" toys!!!!

I finally got off my butt and finished the JRR94. (pictures attached)
It turned out just like I had hoped. The parts from fretsonthenet.com are
excellent. Dave made the brass control plate, the brass "v" plate and the
"RR" truss rod cover for me. The neck p/up is a duncan 59 (nice, smooth and
bluesy...but loud) and the bridge is the highly controversial Bill Lawerence
xl500-L (loud for sure..will tinker more to find the tone I like).

Anyhow thank you to Dave at FOTN for the quick job on the parts. Dave,
hopefully the pictures will be good enough to post on your website....if not
let me know!! This was a fun project and the guitar looks like "The Man's"
(sans the shark fins) and that is what I wanted.

This has been a great year...even with my fun knee surgery HAHA. Speaking
of....I am walking without crutches just 2 1/2 weeks since surgery. I am
going to PT 3 times a week and my surgeon says I am way ahead of schedule.
Still.....I have a long way to go but I am proud of how things are going.

Hope everyone is doing well....talk with you all soon.

"Dave,

Thank you for help with both of these projects. Randy Rhoads is my guitar
hero which I was fortunate enough to see on February 20th 1982. These two
guitars are my tribute to him and you played a major part in the
construction of both guitars.

Thank you so much for all that you do.

Brent"

It's always a pleasure, Brent!

Dave N's "RR" with a Red aluminum anodized RR truss rod cover!!

Todd's gorgeous white Charvel Model 3A with a set of replacement pickup rings for the older oversized pickups,

just stunning!

Mikes very cool Bass project with black anodized rings. This thing is going to be killer when finished!

"Dave,

Sorry it took a few day's to get back to you (working overtime) but I want to let you know that I received the gold RR t/r cover and it looks freakin GREAT on my RR5!! Also I want to let you know what a great asset you are to the J/C community for your service and commitment for making our guitars more unique! Again, a tip-of-the-hat to you........ Bob M"

Beautiful Bob!

He sent me a drawing of exactly what he'd like and made it to spec for him.

He'll route the body for it and I'm sure it will look great!

Jason needed some red aluminum anodized rings, truss rod cover and backplate for both of his amazing guitars.
