Hello,

Great site!

Do you sell the 5th String HO Railroad Spikes by themselves (no installation)?
If so, how many spikes for how much money?
 Thank you, Tyler

We'd be glad to assist you with this Tyler...and, yes we could supply them to you....however, we highly recommend that you do not attempt this installation yourself. If you can find someone locally to perform this for you properly, then you'll bypass potential problems. Additionally, if they know what they're doing, then they would already have the correct HO Spikes...there are a variety of HO Spikes that do not work...now, the price should only be 6.00 per spike installed...and usually, they're only installed in the 7th and 9th frets...for the keys of A and B...you can also install them in the C (10th) and D (12th) fret positions...only this is rarely done.

I personally use the Shubb 5th String Capo and have never had a problem...I find the spikes quite intrusive...I fret on the 5th string quite often and those spikes can hurt when sliding and fretting...

Let us know if you have any problems finding someone to install these...

Mickey
