Tym Guitars

Tym guitars. 1997-2022.

I've spent the last three days cleaning up the back room of my workshop in anticipation of actually building some guitars for my 25th anniversary this year.

I have some other special and custom stuff planned as well because, well, it's 25 years and the world needs more beauty in it.

If you want to get an idea of what I did last year check my 2021 blog

I'm officially open again on Jan 10th and booking repair and set up work for Feb.

I'm currently not really on social media so if you want to keep up with what's going on here check the NEWS feed on my site.

As always, if you need me contact me through the site or text me.

Well, that's another 940 million km's around the sun on this ball of mud hurtling through space and I'm not gonna lie, it's been a tough one.

I'm currently not on social media (haven't glanced at it for about 3 weeks) but I have a rule that no one should work on the anniversary of their day of birth, so, here I am.

If you're interested in keeping up with all that's going on here I have a news feed on my site. In the last month I've done 4 pedal releases (2 new models seen here), started working on 2 new TMI guitars, made some new pickups (seen here. Blog coming), starting making an amp for a friend, reinstated the Mosrite section on my site, written quite a few blogs and have been really busy with repairs and setups. Check my news feed and blog for more info if you're at all interested.

Thanks to everyone who keeps supporting this place. I consider myself immensely fortunate to have people support me to do things I love.

If you need me contact me through the site or text me. I'm gonna make a coffee and put the Ramones on the turntable.

MORE BLOG.

The story of this '64 Mosrite Ventures model is up now as part of my reinstated Mosrite section.

I'm doing a few new blogs to fill in gaps in this reference section of the site. More coming as I dig through "the cupboard" and clean up a few guitars.

This little gem fell into my lap recently when a friend I hadn't heard from in over 10 years contacted me out of the blue.

A NOS Shin-ei FY-2 Fuzz Master in its original box in its original plastic bag with manual.

The full story with more pics is on my blog if you're interested.

For those interested my Mosrite section is back up on my site.

I remembered why I loved and became so obsessed with Mosrites after getting my refinished '66 up and running and working on my friends Nick and Tony's Mosrites and it's kinda nice to fall in love all over again.

I took this down in 2011 when my then site didn't have room for it and it's sat archived ever since. It's been replicated and referenced by some places since but here it is, updated and free for everyone who wants to know about the best guitars ever made. Just a warning, it gets pretty nerdy and is not for the faint hearted ...

Lots more being added as I get time. Please enjoy.

I might have to save up and buy another Jagstang now they've been reissued again.

I use to play this one live sometimes when the feeling was right. This one has the vibrato blocked, a Seymour Duncan JB wired to the volume pot and output jack and 12-54's in standard and was always a hoot to play.

While I've owned many over the years, I had another immaculate 1st series one that I had put aside to marvel at but put the neck on a Jaguar that I had given to someone who had smashed the neck. Then my Jagstang neck was broken too ....

I love Jagstangs and my Vibratone series were flipped over Jagstang bodies so they were offset the right way, ala Mosrite. They're so easy to play and with the right pickup sound huge.

Also, I can't believe its been 30 years since Nevermind, and seeing them live. Time flies hey.
