Hi all! Is there still a demand for brass Jerry parts? I have the means to start production where Jack of Roses and Moriarty left off. Let me know what you think!

Rob

I'm interested! I just had to have a machine shop fab a 2 port jack cover. I wouldn't bet the whole business plan on it, but it could be a interesting & fun side gig.

My 1.193 cents.

Peace

as sarah palin would say... DRILL DRILL DRILL

Yes please!!

It is a small market, you need a milling machine (big bucks). Like was said, would be a good side thing if you can afford the milling maching and the other necessary equiptment such as a band saw, upright belt sander, polishing machine, etc. and then hope you get enough business to pay for the equiptment. I was thinking the same thing, but couldn't justify the start up costs. Asking your question here is a great start for researching the market. Maybe try asking in other guitar forums to get a feel for the market also. What I have noticed is that only us Dead Heads appreciate the brass parts. Most like nickel and crome better because they dont tarnish.

Count me in!

Well guys...Thanks for the input! Let me ask what item you would like to see as the first? Tiger/Rosebud pickup ring?

Rob

I would love to see some wolf parts and tiger parts. I will buy a whole set of each if you make them.

Alligator!!!

Looking for a rosebud pickup mounting plate and a 5 way switch plate, Thanks

Alligator control plate!!

Alligator control plate, 2 port jack cover - not historically correct on one Strat, but that Moriarty Wolf is still a couple years in the future for me.

Tiger pickup ring

t making parts just placed an order for stainless steel dual jackplate through a local machinist. Should come out looking nice. Does anyone else prefer steel look over brass?
I may be able to order more if there is a demand for modded strat plates.

+1 on Alligator parts.

I don't know Brian, but remember having to wait a looooong time to get my Tiger parts.
