American Strings - In Our Shop - Restorations - Upgrades - For Sale - Parts Reviews

We will review parts from different manufacturers and even rate the eBay sellers. 

  New reviews will be added to the top of this page as they are done. We are shooting for one review per week with a 5 star rating system. I will always give the parts at least one star because it made it to me and that's part of the review.

 

Calig H56 and H55 Tera Humbucker pickups.

Apr 27th 2018 6:30 pm by Sam

  Both of these pickups are ceramic, 12 ohms bridge and 8 ohms neck. For right around $40 we used these in a Hamer Daytona clone and they sound great, they really have a sound of their own. Dealing with the folks at Calig was great, and they knew their stuff and knew what was in their inventory. the package ships from California and made it here surprisingly quick. When talking about Calig pickups, we have used several sets of these in different guitars and have never been disappointed. American Strings is a fan of Calig pickups.

 

 

 


 

 

Maka Guitar Body.

Apr 7th 2018 10:32 am by Sam

  The packaging says "made with passion" so I was pretty optimistic when I got it. As soon as I had the box open I knew there was a problem. It looks like the machine that cut it out had a dull cutter or something because or the chatter marks around the edges. but it isn't like this was an over sight on their QC, the paint job was applied over dings and had a lot of dirt in it and was just over all bad looking it even had some discoloration in spots. I was not even able to use this part so I give the Maka brand 1 star because at least they delivered it.

 


 

 

Eden Strat replacement body.

Apr 5th 2018 10:32 pm by Sam

  This was the best $71.99 spent, the paint was flawless, the cuts are perfect and everything fits nicely. I'm not going to spend much time on this review because I can not find anything wrong with this part. I give Eden bodies and Eden in general 5 stars.
