Lace Pickups and Guitars
Founded in 1979 by the late Don Lace, Sr., Lace Music quickly grew from a small family business to become the driving force behind some of the music industry’s trademark sounds, including providing pickups for Fender Guitars. The company manufactures their own line of highly coveted guitars and pickups.

Lantec Drumsticks
Lantec is an Italian company that has been manufacturing professional quality drumsticks for about 10 years.

When the business started, the main aim was to produce drumsticks with distinctive characteristics compared to the products on the market at that time, this aim has been achieved.

American hickory is selected by hand and kiln dried to the right moisture level, special attention is given to the finishing process in order to give greater resistance and durability and a complete protection against moisture.

Another major difference of Lantec drumsticks is the fact that they are sorted one by one according to their weight and acoustic response.  Drummers can therefore choose, from within the same model, their perfect weight (specified on the packaging) from a wide variety.  This is why Lantec do not produce a large number of models: the very accurate way of sorting sticks offers a very varied choice to satisfy the specific requirements of any drummer concerned about his sound and touch.

Lantec produce the classic models 5A, 5B and 7A in two versions: natural hickory and coloured hickory.  The coloured hickory drumsticks are rosewood painted, but the shoulder and tip are natural.

The Valve Amplifiers
These are probably one of the best sounding guitar amplifiers in the world.
All 'The Valve' amps are hand-crafted in San Lazzaro, a town in the province of Bologna, in the north of Italy, by a team of musicians and technicians who leverage their unrivaled experience and expertise in tubes technology. The Valve crafting philosophy is a mix of modern technology applications and "point to point" hand wiring.
The company is involved in every stage of amplifiers production from initial design to final assembly and quality control. All amplifiers are CE and UL compliant.

Trem King Fixed Vibrato System
The newly patented TREM KING is a vibrato system for guitars that uses the fixed bridge concept.  The bridge plate is fixed to the body of the guitar. The saddles are fixed to the bridge and do not move. The intonation point and string height never change as with many other designs. All the action happens inside the guitar. And the best part is NOTHING happens until you touch the vibrato bar.

The Vibrato Action
The bar inserts directly into the tone block for the best leverage. The tone block pivots back and forth to provide the vibrato action. The TREM KING is able to act as a fixed bridge because the critical balance of string tension versus spring pressure combined with the patented Tension Bar. The tone block only moves when the vibrato bar is moved. When you use the vibrato bar, the tension bar brings the tone block back to the same Zero Point time after time. Two springs are normally all that are necessary to provide this balance. This allows for very light (2 lbs.) pressure to actuate the vibrato. The feel is precise and smooth.

Get a Grip
Along with the exclusive Grip Tip Vibrato Bar that has an adjustable rubber tip, the TREM KING is a joy to play. There is no locking nut necessary on the TREM KING. You can drop tune and not have to re-tune all the other strings. If you break a string while playing, your guitar will stay in tune and you can finish the song. The strings are easily and quickly replaced by loading through the bottom of the tone block with no cutting or special tools necessary.

Vibe Amplifiers
Vibe Amplifiers offers a series of affordable mono-channel all-tube amps.
What's new about these amps is the special attention which was given to input impedances, preamp tuning and speaker matching, making these amps extremely responsive to foot pedals used between the guitar and amplifier.
The amps come in 3 different colours at competitive prices and are a specially priced range of 100% tube amps designed in Italy but manufactured in Asia thus allowing us to offer professional tube amp tone quality for those players not yet ready to invest in high end boutique amplifiers.

Wyres Handmade Strings
Wyres Handmade Strings began from humble beginnings. Their philosophy has always been to test, develop and make the best musical strings possible. Naturally as musicians, they are exceptionally discerning and try to employ their most creative skills to develop great products.

Very often musicians will be invited into the factory to test strings and give them real time feedback. In technical areas unfamiliar to them they do consult engineers, chemists and even metallurgists for advice and they try to incorporate new ideas into their production.

Their 1st generation of P.T.F.E. (polymer tetra-fluoro-ethylene) coated strings is a prime example of one of these innovations which were debuted at the NAMM 1997 Show in Anaheim, California. They have continued improving on their P.T.F.E. coated string process and are today offering a 3rd generation P.T.F.E. coating.

Wyres strings are currently manufactured in the USA and are one of the few companies to actually manufacture their own strings. In the near future, Wyres Strings will also be manufactured in Canada. They enjoy an active and growing artist endorsement program. ”It's always a great pleasure to have contact with artists that we admire” Wyres say “It is also very flattering to our egos when artists rave about our strings. We love the contact with other musicians and hope that they will build close ties with us”.
