The SB400 Solderable PCB BreadBoard enables you to transfer your circuit and wires from a plug-in breadboard without recutting wires or changing your layout. The SB400 has the same pattern and spacing as a standard 400 connection point BB400 solderless plug-in breadboard. It has a standard 5-hole strip for each IC pin, just like solderless breadboards plus 4 power rails. However, it has the advantage that soldered joints provide a more reliable long-term connection than solderless contacts. The SB400 has four power rails like solderless breadboards, plus two bonus rails for power or signals. There are bonus two-hole pads along the centerline allowing DIL (dual in-line) headers to be used. BPS prototyping boards use high-quality FR4 glass epoxy PCBs for long life, with an anti-tarnish protective coating for easy soldering.

Four mounting holes allow your projects to be secured.

Solderless (plug-in) breadboard with 400 connection tie-points (i.e. 400 wire insertion holes) and 4 power rails. Solderless breadboards are great for building and testing new circuits because parts can be easily inserted and removed making them completely re-usable. This breadboard has a 300 tie-point IC-circuit area plus four 25 tie-point power rails. The housing is made of white ABS plastic, with a printed legend giving numbers and letters for columns and rows. The internal contacts are phosphor bronze with a plated nickel finish and a peelable adhesive tape backing is provided for attaching it to a surface. Be sure to check out the Zipwire™ jumper wire kits for use with this breadboard.

Gear duster from Befaco. The Befaco Synth Duster is a great tool for getting dust off of faceplates and other hard to reach spots on your equipment. The super soft bristles can gently clean around pots, jacks, and other hardware.

Stainless steel strip, microscored to an ultrafine file surface. Remove oxide and corrosion on contacts made of platinum, paladium, moybdenum, gold, tungsten, and silver.
Commonly used to remove oxidation from electronic contact surfaces such as switches or connectors, restoring the connection and revitalizing the surface.

This Luthier's Digital Caliper has a custom jaw notch for accurately measuring fretwire crown height (the height above the fretboard). This is essential for comparing new wire to original wire. And there's a notch on the depth gauge to measure fret height on the instrument.

• Measures fret height before AND after fret installation
• Accurate readouts in inches or millimeters
• A must for all precision guitar work

An exclusive design from GrooveTech founder Dan Parks, this CaseTools Guitar Multi-Tool allows you to make quick tweaks to your Fender USA Guitar, and it’s small enough to fit right in the palm of your hand. It features four different sides: 1/8” ball-end hex wrench for truss rod adjustments, 1/16” and .05” hex wrenches for bridge adjustments, and a custom Phillips screwdriver bit shaped to handle both #1 and #2 screws like those in your neck and pickguard.
