| Sales: parts and tools |
|
I can supply a full range of necks, bodies, pickups, machines, scratchplates and other parts to order from companies like WD Music Products, Warmoth Guitar Products and USA Custom Guitars. I also deal with specialists in vintage parts. I am happy to fit parts you've bought if you prefer to acquire them directly.
I regularly order from leading luthiers' suppliers like Stewart-MacDonald and Luthier's Mercantile and can supply tools and equipment for guitar-making projects at competitive prices. I'll list a few interesting bits and pieces here - usually things I've been looking for and which represent an improvement over what's easily available. I'm not going to list everything I stock or can obtain here, so please feel free to contact me if you're looking for something. ***Current wants*** I'm looking for the following: Old set or part-set of Grover Sta-Tite tuners from 1970s or earlier Used set of Waverly butterbean tuners for solid headstock guitar |

Ebony slotted bridge pins
Nicely fitting bridge pins can make a noticeable improvement to the sound of a guitar. These are standard 5 degree taper, and slotted to fit most modern bridges. I can also supply unslotted or oversize pins for older bridges.

Rotosound Clawpicks
Many people's favourites until they were discontinued in the early 1980s. These are the last few I have - and the only ones for sale on the internet. Three are NOS, the other two show light use.

Tor-Tis dark OM pickguard
I can supply the full range of Tor-Tis pickguards. This one is in stock. Greven's Tor-Tis faux tortoise shell is not only strikingly attractive, it's highly durable and provides a sound and feel nearly identical to the real thing. Greven pickguards are individually created; actual appearance will differ slightly from photos shown. Because they are semi-transparent, coloration will change slightly when mounted on a guitar. Backed with 3M self-adhesive film (as used by Martin) and ready for installation.

Kluson tuners 40s/50s Martin
Kluson tuners like these were fitted to many late 40s and early 50s Martins. This original set is in excellent condition. Mild tarnishing on base plates, but otherwise very clean, smooth action. Sold without bushings. Ideal for returning a vintage Martin to its original condition.
