Bobbin Toppers in the UK?


Anyone know if these are available anywhere over here? I almost bought some from Universal Jems, but $15.00 additional shipping? Is this a joke?!!

Re: Bobbin Toppers in the UK?


you know they are adhesive stickers? they're ok but they are what they are which is adhesive stickers that eventually the edges can sometimes come up on..

as for shipping, email Brian to check he won't lower the shipping price if all you're buying is bobbin toppers that fit in an envelope..
he's a great guy, i bought toppers from him once a long time ago and i won't say how much but the shipping was very cheap for an envelope, so cheap i'm sure he ate some of the cost. then i bought a batch of parts later which the $15 shipping was quite reasonable for compared to many international quotes i get....

Re: Bobbin Toppers in the UK?


Aye, I know they are stickers, all I wanted to do was see how my RG7421 looks with white pickups, and I thought maybe toppers would look OK until I could afford the real thing.

I emailed Brian earlier, so maybe he'll be cool about sending some over for minimal shipping costs.

Cheers.

Re: Bobbin Toppers in the UK?


you can cut them for some cool effects...

i cut a few chrome ones in half the short way for a black/chrome domino effect that continued over all pups once and it looked great

definitely still a custom idea for a future, permanent mod of some sort..

That's a cool idea. Never thought of doing that. Got any pics?
