Shop notes:

 

9/5/25 Hey Bootstrappers! Just a quick note that we are preparing for a few weeks closure to new orders while we both clear out our order queue and clear out a few weeks worth of lead time to do a deep clean/renovation on the shop and house. Orders currently placed prior to this temporary closure to new orders will continue to be fulfilled on our regular schedule. I'm not entirely sure what day the closure to new orders will start but I will update this page when I have a firmer date. Please note that there are a few orders that are currently a day or two behind our current lead times - very sorry about that - those should be ready to ship this weekend and we should be back on schedule by Monday evening. 

7/30/25 Hey Bootstrappers! We are currently within our stated lead times. Please note that we are working on replacing a number of our pickup parts with our own custom stamped and milled parts. For example, I anticipate that we'll be using steel baseplates custom cut for us for our T-bridges starting sometime in September. We're doing this to provide work for a local machine shop while offering a higher quality product that is cut to our specifications.  

7/8/25: Hey Bootstrappers! We are currently within our stated lead times. Please note that on August 1, we expect to raise prices by $5 to $10 on most sets to offset to newly announced Section 232 tariffs on copper and previously scheduled (in early 2020s to go into effect on January 2026) tariffs on alnico magnets. We are also expecting to transition our Skookum line of pickups to containing substantially all USA made materials, including magnets, around that time. 

 

Please excuse any weird text sizing on this page, there's some strangeness with our shopify theme that's being worked on

 

6/27/25: Hey Bootstrappers, just a quick note that we're currently within our stated lead times and don't anticipate falling behind in the foreseeable future.

We now offer HB90s again, and in all sorts of new colors and finishes! Be sure to look for those in the Skookum page as they become available, or please feel welcome to reach out if you'd like to order a custom HB90 or set.

I've been doing some website updates and also archived our past shop notes as part of a general effort to tidy-up.
