JGS Guitars Africaster #018 Bigsby Equipped
This Africaster comes from a long, rich legacy of refined tone tech that has been road-tested for a good few decades. The dual-voiced Kent Armstrong P90 pickups are tapped, so just pulling up the tone knob transforms them from growling, snapping 8.5K country dawgs to better behaved, 5.6K thoroughbreds who are content to hang out with the rhythm section for 12 bars.
The Bigsby with roller bridge rounds out this versatile, understated tone machine to give just a few, sweet, irresistible tremors at the end of a phrase for those who were not paying attention. And if you're afraid of slipping out of tune, the Kluson locking tuners hold things steady.

Tone ProShop, Australia 
Tone ProShop was originally established in the early 1980's as a mail order supplier of guitar parts and boutique effect pedals. In 2003 I established our first presence on the internet, which still functioned as a mail order supplier. In 2005 I started our Ebay store and this shortly followed with the current e-commerce website.
My focus is still very much on parts and boutique pedals and accessories. I have also added relic parts and recently moving into boutique amps.
I am a guitarist of over 30 years gigging experience, so I know and understand what you want. Basically, if I wouldn't use it, then I won't stock it. Every item I carry, I try and test my self, so that I can give firsthand advice with no BS.
I am in regular contact with all my suppliers and have been involved with the design of several these products.
Many of these products are only available within Australia from me.
Please compare my prices before purchasing anywhere else in the world. I'm sure you will be surprised!
Feel free to email or phone any questions you may have.
Rock on! Steve
