Three tight, essentially unused, Gibson-style tuners with Keystone-type buttons; two treble and one bass. Replace those bent ones on your guitar efficiently and at low cost. $39
A true mixed bag, two gold-plated and seven chrome-plated replica tuners of various types, all fresh and unused, all with Fender-style slotted tips for easy string changing. Also includes four gold bushings, twelve...
In use by Martin from the early-1950s through perhaps the 1970s, these white bridge pins are quite cool in that they are indeed an older set, and have got the patina and aged look to match your earlier Martin guitar....
A lovely and most unusual set of four bone bridge pins from the 19th-century. Rather than having pearl dots inlaid into them, they’ve got concentric circles lightly cut into the tops with a diminutive inset depression...
I’ve been accumulating older bridge pins here since the early 1960s; 19th-century ones of bone, some with abalone dots, early-mid 20th-century ones, mostly from older Martins. Some are in complete sets, some are partial...
These pins were taken from an otherwise unsalvageable Martin that came in sometime over the fifty-plus years I’ve been involved with restoration and repair of Martin guitars. They are unusual in that they are of the...

An earliest of Waverly side-mount turning machine set. Two buttons replaced but you gotta look real close to know. $95
A plainer-looking but equal-functioning Waverly 3-on-a-side set, the same mechanically as found on the more expensive guitars but with unplated brass posts and no decoration on the backplates. Exceptionally tight. $75
Exceedingly cool, nothing like these has been made for at least fifty years. Both nickel-plated; one with a great patina and one still shiny near-mint. Both of ‘em for only $75
Very clean used Nashville-style bridge, chrome, with wheels and posts, says Gotoh Japan on underside, excellent stuff, $35
I’ll bet a bunch of you out there know exactly who made this and what it’s from; what I know is that it’s rare, it’s American-made, and it's from a top-grade American 1910s-30s guitar; I just can’t remember where I’ve...
Will the wonders never cease. Wildest part is, I actually know where and about when I got this, and it was not recently. When I started my store, in 1969, there was one main supplier of small goods to music stores here...
From that great year of 1874…….or maybe just a wee bit later. H. W. White’s fabulous invention that, far as I can tell from the original US Patent Office description and drawings, was intended to be both a...
