Axesrus

Axesrus is one of the most comprehensive UK-based guitar parts suppliers available to amateur and professional luthiers. Based in the UK, they stock a wide range of hardware, pickups, tuners, nuts, saddles, and finishing supplies — much of what you’d otherwise order from StewMac with expensive international shipping.

What They Stock

• Tuning machines (Grover, Gotoh, own-brand)
• Bridge and tailpiece hardware (TOM bridges, Fender-style saddles)
• Nut blanks (bone, synthetic, brass)
• Pickups (single coil, humbucker, P90 styles)
• Pots, switches, and wiring supplies
• Finishing supplies (stains, grain fillers, sealers)

Pros

• UK-based, no import duties or customs delays
• Competitive pricing vs US suppliers
• Large stock of hardware that matches StewMac equivalents
• Fast UK delivery (typically 2–4 days)

Cons

• Tonewood selection is limited — not their core offering
• Website can feel dated
• Not all premium brands stocked

Shipping

UK shipping only. Typical delivery 2–4 working days. Free shipping available on larger orders.

Verdict

For UK guitar builders, Axesrus should be the first stop for hardware, electronics, and finishing supplies. It covers the majority of what you’d order from StewMac for hardware, without the import headache.
