RETROSPEC vintage-correct ABR Wheels and Posts

RETROSPEC has manufactured vintage-correct thin ABR Thumbwheels and Posts. Based on our collection of vintage originals, RETROSPEC Wheels & Posts are made to exacting vintage specs, in the correct material (nickel-plated brass) for identical performance as vintage bursts.




String vibrations work their way down into the wood in 3 places: studs, posts, and nut. RETROSPEC set out to tackle each of these points, one by one, to provide vintage tone enthusiasts the most authentic playing experience.

RETROSPEC Wheels & Posts are a cost effect, quickly installed mod. Unscrew your modern tone-sucking posts, screw in these vintage-correct posts and you’re one step closer to vintage tone! RETROSPEC Wheels & Posts are the only vintage-correct reproductions on the market today. Available only at RETROSPEC

New Product: AnalogMan / RETROSPEC 808

RETROSPEC is excited to announce a joint venture with AnalogMan. The heart of the new RETROSPEC 808 is AnalogMan’s renowned “True Vintage” 808 mod - the ultimate in vintage Tube Screamer tone. Authentic relicing by the team at RETROSPEC, as either a “closet classic” or a “played out” club veteran, completes the vintage vibe.

The ultimate vintage-inspired partnership: AnalogMan in the inside. RETROSPEC on the outside.

Just Added: Over the Pond “English” Rings

Over the Pond M69 pickup surrounds are the most accurate reproductions of the legendary M69 pickup surrounds available. Over two years in the making, this new production run of the hard to find “English Rings” were meticulously cast from vintage 1950s M69 rings, using the correct color and correct material (which is very hard to source).

Soundclips now online: Sheptone Pickups

RETROSPEC now has clips online for Sheptone’s new Blue Sky pickups, PAF Tributes, Strat, Tele and P90s. All clips courtesy of Sheptone pickups.

Be sure to check out Sheptone’s amazing new Blue Sky humbuckers, wound to nail the tones of Dickie Betts’ famous Goldtop with a modern Les Paul. These are the first pickups to feature Sheptone’s new vintage-inspired bobbins, molded from authentic bobbins from the late 50s. The geometry is slightly different than modern bobbins, and we think you’ll hear it in the clips!
