ATTENTION TO DETAIL part two

Here's our LOST IN SPACE pendant
and matching MAJOR TOM ring

The idea came when I wrote on my list of things to do

DEAD ASTRONAUT.

That s all I had , no drawings, just an idea

Then I figured out, maybe I ll do a ringor maybe a pendant,

Basically a skeleton inside a space suit

I decided to do both....

CAN YOU HEAR ME MAJOR TOM?

CAN YOU HEAR ME

PLANET EARTH IS BLUE

AND THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO

.......

ATTENTION TO DETAIL

Here's a small sample of
CRAZY PIG DESIGNS
regular
STERLING SILVER stock items.

BESPOKE JEWELLERY ,CUSTOM ORDERS

We have been so busy with custom made pieces that we have ignored
the fact that there are many clients that just do not know that that is
really our FORTE.
CUSTOM MADE:
For example this is our regular sterling silver LARGE HORSE SHOE ring
customised with DIAMONDS and RUBIES

And because we have been asked " SO MANY TIMES " in the past

we will aslo set Diamonds in silver rings.

So if you have seen our BESPOKE Platinum and diamonds skull rings

but finances did not allow the extra BLING , you still can achieve

the same look by having PAVE SET DIAMONDS

in the eitherSterling Silver 

MINI SKULL RING or

MEDIUM EVIL SKULL RING or even

LARGE EVIL SKULL RING

But then again, we have over a thousand designs to chose from

So the sky is the limit.

TRAPEAZE SOLUTION update for GEAR HEADS only

It seems that my TRAPEAZE SOLUTION has caused some stir
in the Vintage guitar business and among collectors
Many orders and enquiries have come in from all over the world.
Some have even rushed in to buy real 1952/1953 LES PAUL gold tops
has they realised the potential of the TRAPEAZE SOLUTION fitted
on this potentially amazing guitar.
To help with some of the enquiries we've  had here's a few more details that my have
escape some people.

My TRAPEAZE SOLUTION is cast in 316 STEEL , this is the same steel

tlhat is used for manufacturing aircraft parts and also surgical operation

involving  metal parts into  the body.

This 316 steel is simply the best material for transfering the ring , tone and sustain  of the

strings to the body of the guitar.

I  simply could compromise on  the tone of a $15000 guitar by using an inappropriate material

such as brass or even worse aluminium ( totally kills the sound STONE  DEAD!)

Another  very important point is that the bridge is fully adjustable in height at both end so you

can set the action to your own preference.

The bridge  itself does not rest against the top of the guitar ,this would obviously

damage the paint directly underneath the bridge.

To avoid this two mini feet do the same job as the original 1952 posts and can tilt to line up with

the curve of the guitart top.

Crucialy the strings leave the TRAPEAZE SOLUTION from a 90 degree step

instead of a soft curve, giving the string a very precise edge to get perfect intonation

as well as reducing buzzing to absolutly ZERO at that point.

Gibson bushings can vary in dimentions and this is entirely due to Gibson

discrepencies at the manufacturing stage, However the TRAPEAZE SOLUTION

has been tested on about 12 Les Pauls and even Gibson 225 and 295 with no problems

whatsoever.If anyone encounters any problems with their bushings

I'll be glad to fine tune the TRAPEAZE to fit free of charge.

Design wise ,the ball end of the strings sit nicely inside 6 individual arches

given an improved look and strong anchor point.

More importantly each bridge is 100% HAND MADE, hand drilled, hand polished

in our London workshop one at a time.

Packaged in a vintage style brown box with pink interior with TRAPEAZE SOLUTION

sticker, no corners have been cut .

The aim was to  make this the best possible replacement part for your

VALUABLE 1952/1953 GIBSON LES PAUL gold top

I hope this helps all you  GUITAR HEADS out there ... 

20TH ANNIVERSARY

Yes , that s right it was exactly 20 years ago today
that CRAZY PIG DESIGNS
open its doors in Covent Garden.

There are not many stores left nowadays  that were around then.

I guess it shows that we must be doing something right.

Althought I ve been busy with my CD and Book project

I am also on working on new designs that will be soon in store

One of them is almost finished and , suprise it;s a SKULL RING.

and its a "COOL" one

This might well be our 20th ANNIVERSARY SKULL.

The first 20 years were just the begining.

CRAZY PIG DESIGNS at the BRITISH MUSEUM

Here's an interesting BLOG that we posted a couple of years ago

that some of you might have missed. So here it is again

In 2003 we were approach by the BRITISH MUSEUM in relation to a

new exhibition titled BURIED TREASURES.
The museum wanted to purchase a SILVER SKULL RING from us

to keep in their archives , and to be featured in the section showing

various skull rings through the centuries.

CRAZY PIG representing modern times..

The display showed eight different skull rings or mortuary rings

Item number EIGHT being a CRAZY PIG skull ring.

I offered to lend the BRITISH MUSEUM one of the best and most fancy

SKULL RING we ever made (platinum ,yellow diamonds and rubies)

but they declined the offer, the reason being that the ring could not be

on loan , it had to property of the museum.

The curator chose a fairly plain skull & cross bones ring

It is a trully great honour for me and CRAZY PIG DESIGNS to have

one of our rings in the archives of THE BRITISH MUSEUM

For obvious reasons the MUSEUM could not advertise the store

name, but interested visitors could enquire and get our details

upon request.
