An extremely rare find. A complete set of American-made, nickel-plated Grover Rotomatic tuners, still in their original box and never on a guitar. These were considered fine enough to be the standard for Martin's very...
From the heyday of the ukulele craze, the 1920s-30s, this very cool SS Stewart soprano ukulele. Stewart was a top-of-the-line banjo company from Philadelphia, going back to the late 1800s and with both the facility and...
This is a gorgeous, absolute first-quality, perfect, unused ebony Martin bridge that I have had in storage here for thirty to fifty years. Ordered by me from Martin back in the day to have on hand in my repair shop and...

Up from the depths here, more resonator guitar parts, these beautiful, never-used biscuits from National with uncut maple saddles and correct attachment screws. These three have the ultra-cool the National “shield” logo...
These are a very rare find, American-made tuning machines made for Gibson F-style mandolins back in the day. The Kluson set, judging from the type of gears, is probably from the 1940s; the Waverly (bass side only),...
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...
