Brads Guitar Mods are what it says in the box. These are my thoughts & ideas to help inspire you with your own guitar mods.
You will find everything you need to upgrade and modify your electric guitar or bass. From wiring harness & pickup upgrade packs. To Strat & Tele replacement necks. Along with some other things that just think are really helpful in completing your own guitar builds or modifications
I have always loved to try and find tones I have in my mind, for specific type of players, or playing styles. Now that I have created Tone Merchants. A company that was the result of sheer frustrations at the lack of options available for people like me down here in the South Pacific. I get to have fun. So i have put together guitar and bass upgrade packs to make things easier for you and get you going in the right direction for the type of tones you want to achieve.
All components and parts are carefully considered in each guitar mod. I’m lucky enough to represent some of the best pickup & components brands in the business. From Lindy Fralin Pickups & Emerson 1050’s style wiring. To my own Tone Merchants Wiring & modern humbuckers from Railhammer Pickups. I like to think i have most of the basses covered!
So keep an eye on this category and our Facebook page for one off modified instruments, replacement guitar necks & bodies for your own guitar kit set build projects. I might just have something that was just meant for you.

Morgan Edwards16 May 2024Brad’s advice was instrumental in helping me to choose the gear that was right for my needs. What’s more, Brad’s customer service was second to none. I am pleased to have been able to purchase my epic Genzler rig (Magellan 800 + NuClassic 2x12) through Tone Merchants, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend them to anybody looking for equipment (pickups, amps, hardware and more) for their bass or guitar.
David “Denial” Mortenson1 May 2024I can't tell you enough about how Brad helped me out of a jam, I was on tour recently in NZ/AUST with LIVE - (Bass Tech) and I had a tuning peg get damaged in transport and Tone Merchants were the only dealers on that side of the world with the peg I needed. Brad was so fast with an email response and express shipping of the peg I was back up and running with in a couple days. Thank you Brad, I will always recommend and hopefully stop in and see you next time I'm in town!!
Brenten Blury29 April 2024Brad sorted some amazing fralin pickups at a great price and included some extra covers due to a stock discrepancy. Very helpful and good service. Thanks!
Matthew Berg28 April 2024After doing plenty of hunting for a replacement bridge for my Rickenbacker bass i stumbled across Tone Merchants. The communication back and forth while i waited for the import to arrive was great.... Prompt shipping to me in Australia at a very reasonable cost! The tone, playability and most of all functionality of this upgrade is second to none. 10/10. It's just like a cup of Dilmah - "Do Try It".
Marty Forrer8 April 2024I purchased TI Jazz Flats and prewired Jazz control plate from Tone Merchants. Excellent products and excellent service.
Olivier Holland19 March 2024Fantastic shop stocking some top notch gear, most notably Genzler amps! Massive 'thumbs up' and recommendations!
Matt Harvey14 March 2024Legendary. Great advice from Brad regarding modding options aswell as a wicked service in the explanation as to what each can do for your tone. The concentric knob control plate was simple to install, looks amazing on the US Fender and with the series/parallel switches my tone control is spot on. A slick and stylish vintage look and an even better sounding jazz bass.
Seamus Jolly14 March 2024Fantastic service, and what a bass! Highly recommend these guys. Thanks again Brad
Julian Pettitt11 March 2024Can't speak highly enough of Brad, great to deal with, knowledgeable and professional. Bought the Genzler Magellan 800 amp and Bass Array 4x10 cabinet and have never sounded better! The whole band is stoked on the tone and clarity of my rig, thanks Tone Merchants!
