We are dedicated to producing the finest Guitars and Replacement Parts for those who want only the best for their instruments.</P> <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>I have been fortunate to have grown up with the great instruments of the 20th century at my disposal. From Lloyd Loar Mandolins, Pre-war Martins and Gibson instruments to 50's Gibson Les Pauls and Fender Strats and Teles. It is from those great instruments that we establish our base line for tone.</P> <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>I was also fortunate to have been raised in a machine shop and later earned a Mechanical Engineering degree from Virginia Tech. I try to bring all of this experience together to produce our products. Our goal is to produce the finest products available so that every musician will be able to reach their goal.</P> <P ALIGN=RIGHT>- Bill Callaham</P> <P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">We <B>produce</B> and <B>sell</B> the following:</P> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <TABLE ALIGN=CENTER BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 WIDTH=550> <TR> <TD> <UL TYPE="disc"> <LI><A HREF="guitars.htm"><B>Guitars</B></A>...  Our 100% handbuilt reproduction guitars.</LI> <LI><A HREF="parts.htm"><B>Replacement Parts</A> </B> ...We are proud to be one of the few companies that produce replacement parts to the public that are made here in the U.S.A.</LI> </UL> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <A NAME="whats_new"> <TABLE ALIGN=CENTER BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 WIDTH=550> <TR> <TD COLSPAN=3> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD COLSPAN=3> <B><FONT SIZE="+1">What's New !</FONT></B></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD COLSPAN=3> <UL TYPE="square"> <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY> </P> <LI><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><A HREF="partsstr.htm#narrow_strat_bridge"><B><U>Limited Production</U> Callaham Narrow 2 1/16 String Spaced Bridge Assemblies</B></A>.</P> <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>To fill the need of a complete vintage styled 2 1/16 string spaced bridge assembly we have set up a limited production run to keep cost affordable for everyone.</P> <BR> <P ALIGN=CENTER><IMG SRC="brdgasn1.jpg" ALT="Callaham Limited Production Narrow 2 1/16 String Spaced Bridge Assemblies" border=1 hspace=0 vspace=0 height=213 width=320><BR><FONT SIZE="-1"><B>Limited Production</B><BR> Callaham Narrow 2 1/16 String Spaced Bridge Assemblies</FONT></P> <BR> <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>There are 2 models:</P> <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><B>Mexican Model</B>: This is a complete assembly that is a direct replacement on Mexican Standard Guitars. It has a 2 1/16 string spacing and a 2 1/16 mounting spacing. And will work with any guitar with a 2 1/16 mounting spacing. Price is $165.00.</P> <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><B>V/N Model</B>: This is a complete assembly that has vintage 2 7/32 (56mm) mounting spacing but with the narrow 2 1/16 string spacing. It will fit any body with vintage mounting. It is specifically for those who have the E strings too close to the edge of the fretboard or use humbucking pickups. Your strings will now be better positioned on the neck and line up over the poles of humbucking pickups. Price is $175.00.</P> <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>Naturally both models are made using the exact same materials and construction as our Vintage S model Strat Bridge. These are complete assemblies that come with top plate, block, saddles, 5 tremolo springs, claw and 2 claw screws, 6 hardened tremolo mounting screws, all stainless steel screws, adjustment wrench, and "64" virtual pop-in arm with tip comes stock. Our other 2 length arms can be substituted at no additional cost but you must specify at time of order. Also, please specify mint green or parchment white tip. </P> </LI> <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY> </P> <LI><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><A HREF="up_amstd.htm#2008AmStd"><B>American Standard Premium Upgrade kit for <U>2008</U> Am. Std. model</B></A>. The much touted new American Standard Bridge is very disappointing. The block is still a cast scrap metal, vibration dampening, tone soak. Calling it "all metal" is like saying OSB construction board is all wood.</P> <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>We have ready to ship Premium Upgrade kits that contain our superior 100 percent cold rolled steel enhanced block, a virtual pop-in arm, and a superior set of saddles to replace those "things" they call saddles. A complete kit is $115.00.</P></LI> <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY> </P> <LI> <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><B>We have <U>moved</U> to a new location.</B><BR> <P ALIGN=LEFT>The <U>New</U> Mailing Address is ...<P> Callaham Guitars<BR> <B>217 Park Center Drive</B><BR> Winchester, VA 22603<BR> U.S.A.<P> <P ALIGN=JuSTIFY> The <U>New</U> Technical Questions Line is ...</P> <P ALIGN=LEFT><B>(540) 678-4043</B></P> </LI> <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY> </P> <LI><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>Callaham Stainless Steel Tremolo Arms now available in <B>more arm lengths</B>.

For those of you who have American Standard Teles and want more pop and sustain, the same saddles that we produce for the American Standard Strats and American Deluxe Strats will work on American Standard Teles. They are $40.00 per set of 6.</P> <P ALIGN=CENTER><IMG SRC="sd_as.jpg" ALT="Callaham Vintage Styled "CG" Saddles for American Standard Bridges" border=1 hspace=0 vspace=0 height=150 width=255><BR><FONT SIZE="-1">Callaham Vintage Styled "CG" Saddles<BR> for American Standard Tele Bridges<BR>for American Standard Strat Bridges<BR>for American Deluxe Strat Bridges<BR>(offset intonation screw)</FONT></P> </LI> <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY> </P> <LI><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><B><A HREF="partstel.htm#t_pu">Callaham Special Wind Fralin Tele Pickups</B></A>. We made a small change to our Tele pickups wind to get that little extra. These pickups will cover everything from classic country (Don Rich, Vince Gill), to jazz (Jimmy Bryant) to early Led Zepplin. All you need is the hands. Sets are $165.00 per set and are cryogenically treated.</P></LI> <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY> </P> <LI><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><B><A HREF="partsstr.htm#Pickups">New Set of Callaham Specially Wound Fralin Pickups</B></A>. After a year's worth of testing, we are now adding an additional set of custom wound Fralin pickups to our shelves. They are done specifically for obtaining the Hendrix/SRV/EJ tone with ease. They differ tonally from the current Callaham Special Winds in that the wound strings stay full and clear even under aggressive picking. To give an example when playing "Manic Depression" the wound strings have better note separation and definition under high volumes and hard picking. The plain strings are extremely thick sounding and the overall sustain is increased. The bridge pickup is very full and wide with its response.</P> <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>This set will be designated as <U>Callaham H/SRV Specials</U>. They are naturally cryogenically treated and come stock with the base plate added to the bridge pickup. Price is $228.75 per set. Please don't ask what we are doing different because we are not going to tell you.</P></LI> <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY> </P> </TABLE> <TABLE ALIGN=CENTER BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 WIDTH=550> <TR> <TD COLSPAN=2> <BR> <B>Reminders</B> <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>Please click the refresh/reload button on <U>each</U> page to insure you are looking at the most current information.</P> <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>Also remember to use our <A HREF="partsfrm.htm">Printable Order Form</A>. </UL> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD COLSPAN=2> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <TABLE ALIGN=CENTER BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 WIDTH=550> <TR> <TD ROWSPAN=3 ALIGN=CENTER> <CENTER> <PRE> _____________________________________________________ </PRE> </CENTER> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <TABLE ALIGN=CENTER BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 WIDTH=550> <TR> <TD ALIGN=CENTER><FONT SIZE="-2">© 1996-2008 by Callaham Guitars™.
