PARTS

S.I.T. Strings:  Various Types.   I have chosen to carry S.I.T. exclusively.  After shopping around I decided that they were the best bargain mainly because they’re the right price, sound good, and they give you an extra 1^st and 2nds string with most sets.  I have a variety of acoustic, electric, and bass.  An example, Power Wound Nickel 9’s or 10’s list at $8.75 /set but I can include them with your guitar purchase for $3.50/set or case of 12 for $39 ($3.25/set).  Bass sets at $14.99.  I also have a limited supply of other brands and everything from 6-string bass to mandolin to Phos/Bronze acoustic/electric bass and just about everything else.

VINTAGE DECALS - Most are the real deal from the 70's, all are the highest quality waterslide available and, when installed, indistinguishable from original factory decals.  Most are priced at $20 but some, like these genuine 1976 Gibson (ES-336, Firebird,  E.S. Artist, Thunderbird was sold) are priced at $50.  If you're restoring a $1500 vintage guitar, don't go cheap on the decal - get the best.  I also have a bunch of spagetti Broadcasters ($20) on blue grid paper that I'm told are original Fender.  

COOL, VINTAGE, RARE, IN-DEMAND PARTS

1. Early 60's Gibson ES-330 Parts - just add guitar.  I'm putting these up on Ebay but in case there's anyone out there who needs virtually every part for their 330, I'm just giving advance notice.  These parts all came off the same guitar and are an example of Gibson not necessarily using their parts in date order.  They're all nickel-plated, not the chrome plated from later 60's.  Nickel ABR-1 without wire, making it a correct for late 50's through '62 when the retaining wire was used.  Wiring harness is all original solder joints with all pots dated 1961 and original Sprague caps.  Double-line/double ring Kluson tuners are generally used '64 - '69.  Four Bonnet knobs with chrome caps and deeper post hole, is correct for '62 thru ca. '67.  Dog-eared P90 pickups have a nice medium output of 7.65K and 8.05K - Covers are worn down to black around edges, covers stamped UC-455 and UC-450-1.  Nickel-plated trapeze tailpiece is in nice shape.  Even includes small stuff like truss rod cover, switch tip, and even truss rod nut.  I know a few of these are hot ticket items, like the nickel no-wire ABR-1 but hopefully I can find somebody with a good price on the lot.  I've only done around 5 auctions the past 3 years but I'm guessing these will be going up on Ebay this weekend or early next week. 

2. 1962 Jazzmaster Pickup Set, original windings, cut to proper length for bridge/neck with proper output of 8.6K and 7.85K for bridge and neck, respectively.  Original covers included.  $450/pair. 

3. 1974 Fender Strat Pickup, early '74 = stag pole, original winding.  Was bridge position and leads are proper length for bridge.  Nice mellow vintage output of 5.42K.  $375.

4. WRC Crossroads Set - Nickel covers, hand-wound and Classic PAF tone.  These were designed to replicate the tone from the song "Crossroads" from Cream's "Wheels of Fire" album and have been tested extensively in an SG, a Firebird, Les Pauls, and many others.  For  more info and sound clips, click here for WRC's site.  Extremely clean shape other than a small dent on one corner.  $225 for the pair. 

5. 1975 Fender Strat Pickup, flat pole - gray bottom, original winding.  Was bridge position but used in neck thus the wires were spliced for the longer distance - can be removed easily and, thus, all original.  Nice mellow vintage output of 5.44K.  $150

6. 1982 Fender Strat Knobs, 3-spoke, with straight grip lines, for your Smith Strat and these seem harder to find than the earlier ones, $75/set

7. 1962 Fender Tone knob, single knob or pair of '62 knobs, $75/each - $140/pair

8. Fender '72 Mustang Pickups, original '72 gray bottom pickups and original switches on a repro guard.  Original early 70's Mustangs are nearing $1K so it pays to have the right electronics, $175/all.  

9. Seymour Duncan Loaded Strat Pickguard, (pic2), in black pearl with matching back plate.  Trio of Seymour Duncans, CTS switch and pots, all wired up and ready to drop in.  Pickups are all humbuckers with a JB in the neck; Vintage Rails in the middle; Hot Rail Stacked in the bridge.  Please note that the original owner's preference had a neck pickup in the bridge, but the middle and neck pickups are designated for bridge so we can re-wire any way you desire.  Purchased new, these pickups are going to set you back $75/each, with another $35 for the guard and back plate, and around another $20 for pots and switch - $280 total - and that's a do-it-yourself price without labor.  We'll save you the labor and $100 on the parts.  Get the whole deal which is a pro-upgrade for pretty much any Strat, for just $175.  

10. Rio Grande Pickguard Assembly, complete, drop-in ready.  Includes Muy Grande, Halfbreed, Vintage Tallboy pickups, pre-wired to pots and 5-way switch.  Just connect your output jack and ground wire and you're up and running.  This is a cool set, with the pole pieces all different sizes - neck pickup has standard size poles, middle are large, bridge are huge.  Rio's are quality pickups, right up there with other boutique makers such as Lollar, Kinman, WRC, etc.  A pre-wired tortoise guard with these pickups, covers, etc. will run you around $350 from Rio Grande but this clean used setup is just $199.  

11. Lindy Fralin Blues - Loaded Strat Guard, (pic2), "As new" condition, complete and drop in ready.  Includes BRW pickguard and matching backplate, new set of Lindy Fralin Blues, CTS pots and switch.  Killer upgrade and all in mint condition, $225/all

12. Peter Florance Voodoo '59 Alnico 5, one of the best bridge position humbuckers in the world.  I don't know of Peter is shipping any pickups these days so they're getting hard to come by.  This one's super clean and $135 & includes pickup ring and nickel cover. 

13. TonePros Standard Locking Tune-o-matic/Tailpiece Set, stays in place without wiggling so your guitar stays in tune better, has improved sustain and harmonics.  Installs without marring or modification, any standard Gibson guitar or similar.  Pricey hardware at $132 for a new set - but this set is in mint condition and is just $79(SOLD-Mike G 9/8).

14. Trilogy Bridge by Hipshot TMB3.  The Trilogy is a direct retrofit for USA Fenders, no modification is required so your Strat can be returned to stock if desired.  In all the Trilogy offers an amazing 723 possible tunings, all at the flick of the thumb, and includes sample tuning chart.   Each string has 3 positions with a straight tuning and 2 detune stops.  For more info checkout Hipshot here.  This unit installs very easily and is the most versatile alternate tuning system ever devised.  Perfect condition, includes all parts and even a pre-cut wooden block for use if desired.  Last I heard these were on back order but this one's here and just $179.  Includes original manual.  

COLLECTABLES, MANUALS, MEDIA

 CASES

1. Charvel Tweed cases, 1980’s, all I have remaining are ones with missing logo, but they're guaranteed Charvel, $75. 

2. Epiphone Les Paul Case.  Very good quality Canadian TKL case, better than the current Chinese case with smooth covering.  $65 or $49 with purchase of an Epi Les Paul.

3. ca. 1972 Fender Bass Case, (pic2).  A fixer upper but with to hasps for the end latches, you'll have a fully functional case.  The center tab holds it closed somewhat but you definitely would want to replace or repair at least one of the end latches.  Not recommended for your $2500 pristine Jazz but for a player's grade, here's just what you need.  Interior is in decent shape and the handle and chrome logo still intact.  $89

4. Fender "Export" Jag/Jazzmaster Case, fits Jazzmaster and Jaguar - and I believe a Bass VI.  Black tolex with blue lining, leather ends with white piping.  These were used primarily on Fenders exported to other counties so you'll see a lot of Canadian Fenders with these.  This one's in nice shape and just $109.  

5. Fender Mustang Case- 60's, made by Victoria, non-logo which makes it a '65 to '68 era, extremely clean, 60's Mustangs are over $1K now and here's a fine "home" for yours, $150.  Note:  Guitar is NOT included.  

6. Fender Squier Bass Case, for your P or J Bass.  The plastic has some ripples but it's in overall good condition.  $45.  

7. Gator Guitar “Slinger” Gigbag, new-old-stock, excellent protection, very thick, nice bag for $19

8. Gibson Acoustic Case, vintage, semi-hard but thicker and more plush than your average chipboard.  Fits D-size and probably AJ, $65.

9. Gibson Deluxe gigbag, ex cond, $29

10. Gibson ES-335 Case, late 60's/early 70's, purple velvet lining with black tolex exterior.  Structurally sound, all latches and hinges intact, overall very good shape.  $250. 

11. Gibson ES-335 Brown Case, Super clean condition and a better case than the current black case.  Combo lock, plush pink interior with protective shroud aka "pig blanket".  The current black Custom Shop case sells for $189 and isn't as good as this model, and this one's $50 less and original equipment for most 335's from the 80's and 90's.  $139(SOLD-Gary 3/11). 

12. 80's Gibson Rectangular case.  Don't know what it was made for, but it does fit a Chet Atkins SST which means the lower bout is wider than your average Strat and around a 1" too wide for a Les Paul.   If you need one for your SST/CEC - or know that this is the right case for your...whatever...here you go.  Nice shape and just $115. 

13. Gibson SG Case.  This is the better quality Canadian TKL from ca. '06 with black lining and protective blanket.  The cheaper Chinese made model with white lining and no blanket sells for $152, but this better case in super clean shape, is just $99.  Please note that this case is a very tight fit, perhaps a manufacturing irregularity, but it does fit an SG and closes properly.  

14. 1960's Ess&Ess 335-style case, From Ess&Ess, Brooklyn NY, black alligator style with purple velvet lining.  Center lock needs "picked" which Martin will likely be able to do prior to shipping.  Replacement leather handle; nice vintage condition and good protection for your Guild, Gretsch, or Gibson for $199.  

15. HSS Bass Gigbag, new, very thickly padded and rigid construction, back straps and 2 handles, $29

16. Ibanez Bass Case, Canadian made TKL, tolex covered with plush furry lining, new and perfect, $75.

18. Ibanez Thinline Electric Case, (pic2).  Fits Gibson Chet Atkins SST so if you have that style guitar, here you go.  Deluxe latches, the back one is 1/2 missing, but overall fair condition and protects your guitar just fine.  $65.

19. Ibanez Thinline Case, don't know what it fits but it's made for a large body thinline, overall decent shape and a hard to find size, $75.  

20. Kaces Old Glory Les Paul Case.  Features 4-color artist-commissioned design emblazoned on rugged, industrial-grade PVC and stretched over a multi-plywood shell. The case has heavy-grade hardware, plush interiors, and large internal storage compartment.  Lists at $149 but this one's new and just $89.  .

21. Peavey Gigbag, $29

22. PRS Accessories - Gigbag, upgraded Cordura Gig Bag features extra comfort padding in the back with mesh ventilation, ergonomically curved shoulder straps, and an extra handle.

23. Pro-Tec Ultra Lite Thinline Archtop Case, Fits ES-125, ES-225, etc., with 16" lower bout.  Very good protection.  At 7.5" deep, it' around twice as thick as your average hardshell and the styrofoam "gives" more than wood.  Durable 1,000-denier nylon covering is water and abrasion resistant.  These are around $84 new - this one's $49.  

24. Rickenbacker Short Scale Tolex Case, for your Model 325 or other short-scale Ricks.  Excellent condition.  Blue plush lined with wood/tolex exterior.  Includes key(s).  $125. 

25. Roadrunner Poly Foam Guitar Case - Standard Electric, (stock pic).  Offers the protection of a hardshell case with the weight of a gig bag with a rigid thermal-form structure and Cortex cover. Interior features extra plush lining with two large storage compartments.  Clean shape and nice protection for $39. 

26. Silvertone/Dano? Case, ca. 50’s brown&white chipboard, fits very small guitar, superb condition, $45

27. Solid Sound Electric Case, I don't know anything about this case except that its well made and a cool idea.  Half case - half gigbag, it features a plush lining with heavy canvas sides, with a plastic top and back, and heavy duty zipper closing.  Fits a Strat or Tele and probably many other models.  Features a heavy duty plastic handle or has hooks to strap it over your back.  Especially recommended if you're looking for better protection than a gigbag but want something light weight for traveling such as players who take the subway to gigs.  $39.  

28. Summit Gigbag, best gigbag I’ve ever seen, for details click here, Lists $139.99 but this barely used for $59(HOLD-Ted 9/15)

PICKUPS (recent list followed by alphabetical list)

• Suhr Humbucker Pair, includes DSV Neck and DSH Bridge.  Both are "DS" (Double Screw) models.  Excellent vintage tone, excellent condition, 4-conductor for coil splitting.  Read about them at Suhr's site here.  $130/pair.

• Rio Grande Tallboy, (pic2). Rio's (link) are some of my favorites and stock equipment on Robin guitars.  The TX and BBQ were sold - only the Vintage Tallboy is left.  $76 new from Rio Grande but this nice used one is just $49. 

• 1978 Gibson ES-335 Humbucker, extremely hard to find 70's Gibson with extra pair of wires for coil tap switch on lower horn.  They only offered this feature for around 2 years, and only on the neck pickup so these are really rare.  7.2K output with 13" lead wire.  Now that late 70's are going above $2K, it makes since to make it straight when it's just $225.  

• Gibson Sonix 180 Deluxe humbucker, Zebra coils, 2+1 mounting screws.  Not many of these around.  Pickup ring is included but I don't recall if it's original.  $75.  

• Fender Esquire, from current Classic Series (Mex) and I think the same as used on 50's and 60's Classic Tele's.  Cloth wrapped, 3 leads, $25.  

• Igniter II Humbucker, don't know what this came out of but I've had it for 10+ years.  Resembles an EMG although it's passive. $25.  

• Epiphone Humbucker Pair, (note: I have loads of Epi pickups - chrome, gold, or plain - let me know if you want to buy a dozen).  This set is from an Epi Flying V with gold covers.  Pretty nice shape and sounded good when installed.  $39/pair.  

• Fender Squier Tele Set, clean shape, work perfectly, $25/pair.  

• Fender Squier Strat set, clean shape, work perfectly, $10/each; $29/set.

12. DiMarzio DP182 Fast Track (6), great for bridge position on Strat, clean, $39

13. Dual Rail, as above, fabric wrapped, unknown maker, Barden style dual rail, $29

14. EMG-81 Pair.  The 81, nominally the loudest of EMG's, is one of the most popular lead pickups of all time or, as with the Kirk Hammet EMG 81/81 set, it sounds great in the neck position as well.  This is one of the older sets without the quick disconnect cable but in nice shape.  New ones go for $105 each but this nice pair is just $125.  I can rob one of my new EMG sets of wiring kits and include for additional charge. 

15. EMG 45P Pair, for 6-string bass, new-old-stock and includes pots, wires, battery terminal and jack.  Original list was $120/each and these were used on some high-end boutique basses.  Transform your 6-string into a killer tone bass for just $125 for the pair.  Contact Martin if you want us to install and/or modify your bass.

22. EMG 91HZ Active Floating Humbucker, $69(SOLD 9/18).

23. EMG-81 and EMG 60 Set, "vintage" EMG's, around 20 years old but these things work forever.  Covers are well worn but no issues other than cosmetics.  $99/pair

24. EMG HZ Pair, (pic2), brand new in sealed boxes, includes H4A and H4.  The H4 is EMG's passive version of the EMG's 81, and uses two bar-loaded coils for that "Balls to the Walls" tone. The H4 has become the bridge pickup of choice for the ESP's and others.   A breeze to install with exclusive 5-wire quik-connect output allowing any number of wiring combinations, fully shielded for a minimum of noise.  The H4A uses an Alnico 5 magnet for a pronounced mid-range and fat top end. With plenty of punchy tone, it's a good choice for rock guitar when used in the bridge position; also it's the perfect pickup for blues or in combination with the H4 pickup, as is used on Epiphone's Zakk Wylde "Bullseye" Guitar.  These pickups list for $198/pair and sell everywhere for $158.  Save some bucks on this new pair for just $119.

25. Epiphone Humbucker, exposed coil for your Classic, $15

26. Epiphone Dot Humbuckers (212), good sound for low bucks, $35/pair

39. 70's Gretsch Pickup Coils.  For the techs out there - these were obtained from a guy at the Philly Show who had a case of 144 of these.  I have 20 in stock.  They're supposedly original 70's coils for Gretsch pickups, although I don't know which model.  If you think they'll work for you, just $20/each, or a pair for $35.  Cheaper than rewinding and, more importantly, keeps the guitar original.

41. Ibanez JS-100 Pair, Ibanez AH-1 and AH-2 removed from a Satriani JS-100 but also is stock for Iceman IC-300, IC-400, and others.  Clean shape and 3-conductor for use with coil spilt if desired.  $45/pair.  

42. Ibanez V7 and V8 Humbuckers, removed from an RG Prestige when new so mint condition.  Excellent sounding pickups which are an upgrade to most guitars or a good choice for any project.  4-conductor wire for humbucker/single coil combinations.  $50/pair.

44. Import Gold Humbucker, $25

Seymour Duncan Livewire Dave Mustaine Active Pickup Set, (description).  Get Dave's (Megadeath, ex-Metallica) signature tone with this signature pickups.  Distinctive pewter covers (called "black nickel") with Dave's signature on top, the DM set allows higher gain and more output without losing tonal response and feel. Resonant frequency of both pickups are matched with Duncan's JB bridge and Jazz neck, so you get all the benefits of an active pickup without sacrificing the Seymour's famous organic tone. Includes all necessary mounting hardware, pots, jack, and battery clip.  With a $272 list, this is a killer upgrade for just $150.  This set is new and never installed.

BODIES AND NECKS

1. Charvel Project Neck, looks to be aftermarket with vintage Charvel logo installed long ago.  I don’t know what this was originally on but it’s Canadian made, probably La Si Do, and an excellent neck.  Has a few small holes next to the nut that were filled, as well as two string tree holes filled, but it’s perfectly straight and set up very well on the guitar it was on.  Frets had a light dressing and are not dished out anywhere.  Unfinished on the back and very sleek feeling.  $100 for neck only or $125 with Jackson tuners. 

2. ca. '96 Charvel San Dimas Neck.  Want to build your own San Dimas?  Here's a neck from one of the mid 90's San Dimas, identical to the guitar above, ca. 1996 Charvel San Dimas II,, hand made at the Jackson Custom Shop.  Frets are perfect, nice birdseye maple, and just a sealer coat for a very natural feel that's like bare wood and doesn't stick to your hand when you sweat.  Drilled for original Sperzel tuners only but just about any tuner will cover the single hole should you wish to use another type.  This is just a super neck and would be a great choice for a project as long as you have the proper body to install it on.  Considering this is an original neck for a $1295 guitar, a pretty nice deal at $275(Tent Hold - Don H 9/4).  

3. Fender “Bullet” body, approx. 7/8 size, early 80’s, H-S-H pickup routes, repaired cracks and has its share of dings and scratches but is solid wood, buffed out to a nice shine, and just $65

4. Early 70's Fender Precision Fretless Neck, early 70's, 1 5/8" nut, very straight and set up perfectly on the bass that it was on.  Finish stripped for a very sleek, natural feel.  A few extra neck bolt holes visible - drilled to set up on 3-bolt or 4-bolt attachment - we can plug 2 of them at no extra charge.  Fretboard in very nice shape.  Factory number stamp visible, but not very readable, on the butt.  Truss turns easily.  Easy way to turn your vintage Fender into a fretless and set your original neck aside for future value.  Does not include tuning machine ferrules, which are offered with a set of vintage tuners separately ($200).  Nice neck for $250 or we can install vintage logo and lacquer for $299.  

5. 1994 Fender Japan Fretless Jazz Neck, very nice shape, clean fretboard and very straight.  40th Anniv. seal on back of headstock.  Use to build up a fretless Jazz or convert your current fretted model to a fretless.  Highly regarded "Made" in Japan era and a nice neck for $279 with tuners or $239 without tuners.  

6. 1973 Fender Telecaster Bass Body, (pic2).  Beautiful looking piece of ash, originally blonde, which was stripped and stained years ang years ago.  Has a gloss lacquer over the stain and overall in pretty nice shape.  Note the brass pickguard, which has the vibe of an anodized pickguard, although smaller than the original huge pickguard thus there are a number of screw holes visible from the old guard.  As this is a dark stain, the holes aren't terribly noticeable or if you wanted to restore an original style guard the holes, of course, would be used.   Other mods include a Gibson EB-0 type pickup replacing the original neck humbucker - and a Seymour Duncan Jazz added in the bridge position - plus original neckplate has two extra holes added which obviously don't need to be used.  Original blonde finish and factory markings remain in the neck pocket, channel, and control cavity.  Nice medium weight - definitely not a log like the later 70's.  Only thing not included are knobs, but another set will be included.  Includes body with both pickups, original '73 pots wired to output jack, tilt-adjust disc, "custom" faux anodized (brass) pickguard, heavy brass bridge and saddles from Boogie Body's era, strap pins, and gold knobs (not the ones pictured), two string ferrules - other 2 are MIA, mini 3-way selector switch, and original '73 Fender neckplate.  What this may lack in collector appeal, it is a nice 35-year-old piece of ash that's beautifully figured with some vintage parts and it needs very little to be a complete project.  $450 takes it.  Want a era-correct Fender fretless neck?  

7. Fender Strat Body - Relic - by USA Customs, quality Alder body by USA Customs from a few years ago.  Very thin nitro finish which they aged at the factory and then we kind of went to town on it.  It could benefit from some evening out of the Relic spots but from a few feet away looks dead on.  Nice weight, very good resonance, and a quality body for your Relic project for $199(Tent. Hold - Jamie C 9/15).  (Tremolo not included, but I have a beautifully relic'd USA Vintage series trem for $75 if desired).  

8. Fender Precision Copy Neck, from an old Japan P-bass copy, relog-d with 70’s Fender logo, plenty of extraneous tuner and neck-bolt holes to choose from.  Nut is a cheap plastic one but should set-up well with some nut work.  $45 (HOLD-Wayne 1/26/8)

9. Fender Licensed Tele Neck, excellent quality neck by All-Parts, brand new and undrilled, high gloss finish, vintage 7.5" radius, round C-shape with just a hint of a V perhaps.  Guaranteed to be perfect and just $150.

10. 2002 Fender Squier Bullet Neck, good quality Affinity Series, maple with rosewood board, good choice for a budget project Strat, $59.  Note: we can install vintage Fender logo for $50 deluxe job which includes quality logo and labor (removal of old logo, install new logo, and several coats of lacquer with wet sanding between coats)  - looks factory when done.  

11. Fender Jazz Bass Body, maple, Japan copy from ca. 70's, not too heavy, has 4 plugged neck bolt screw holes, $50 or $65 with the pickup covers.

12. Jackson Strat neck, quality Japan from a PS7 from 1996, Strat scale, perfect shape, $135, or we can probably re-logo with vintage Charvel logo if desired.

13. Jackson Performer Neck, good quality Japan model and mint condition.  Came off of a Rhoads but correct for most Jacksons.  Guitar it was on had a perfect setup so I know this should make a great playing guitar.  $120 with Floyd nut or $99 without nut. 

14. Jackson Performer PS7 Neck, removed from a new guitar thus mint condition.  Quality Japan model and would be a great neck for your vintge Strat project.  Priced at $139 plus $10 if you want the serialized neckplate and plastic spacer.  

15. Kramer Sustainer Body.  From ca. '89 American Series, and bought during Kramer's final auction.  I've had this for years, thinking that I would assemble a Sustainer I bought as a basket case years ago.  The rest of the parts have scattered and it looks like I'll never complete the project.  It is ready for assembly, other than pickup mounting rings have never been drilled, nor the strap pins.  Any minor flaws should all buff out before we ship it and it looks to be in pretty much perfect shape.  If you're doing a Sustainer project, or if you want to upgrade a black body or something that's a little rough, here's a more rare color in beautiful shape.  $250.  Note:  finish looks splotchy in pics.  In person the finish is perfectly even. 

16. Kramer Striker ST-300 Body, metallic blue/teal, HSS pickup configuration with 5-way switch and mini-switch for humbucker tap.  Will include perfectly useable Striker neck that has a glued crack on the back that went with the grain – plus Kramer neckplate.  Just add tuners and you’re good to go. $125/all

17. Kramer USA Pacer body, leftover stock, $99

18. Moses Telecaster Neck, model NT-27, licensed by Fender with a standard Tele headstock, 1.7" at the nut, patented one-piece construction with a fine-tune truss system eliminates delamination, twisting, and warpage problems.  The integrated fingerboard has a smooth, wear-resistant finish, 16" flat radius.  List is $330, I have some new in the box for $199.  

19. Strat-style Neck, unknown maker but definitely a quality neck with tons of birdseye, plugged holes on headstock and base, nice and straight with perfect refret, small chip of rosewood missing but it’s behind the nut and no problem, $110 or $130 with Fender logo of your choice

20. Warmoth Quilted “Axis” body, perfect for building your own EVH guitar, beautifully quilted maple over swamp ash, includes switch with gold tip wired to pots, gold hardtail bridge/saddle, gold strap buttons, and control cavity shielding – new back plate is not pictured but is included.  You can buy new, although I don’t know if it would be as nice, for $400 but this one is mint except for a small ding on back – with extras for just $299.

21. Warmoth Strat Neck, (pic2) (click pics for full size).  This neck was previous listed with a so-so trans logo and a hint of red stain on the headstock.  We sanded down the headstock to clean wood and installed a quality 60's logo with lacquer over the logo making it a good choice for a '62 Reissue style.  Excellent condition with abalone dot inlays, Warmoth radius, medium-jumbo frets, quality nut installed, and Sperzel locking tuners. The tuners had the metal dowels removed for some reason but we installed wooden dowels that hold tuners in place just fine.  With this quality logo job, a nice neck for $209 without the tuners; $244(SOLD-John 2/6) with.  Frets are perfect and this neck sets up very well.  

22. Warmoth Super-Strat "Charvel" style neck (pic2) - custom ordered by one of our customers with a Charvel logo and then returned.  Martin did a killer job on the logo with 3 coats of lacquer on top and no hint of an outline.  Super clean neck with perfect jumbo frets, Grover tuners, Floyd nut all included.  This is an 80's model with the back sealed only - feels like an old Charvel - you guys know what I mean.  Perfect feel.  $249/complete, or less if you don't need the Grovers or nut.  

23. Warmoth Stratocaster Body, routed for Kahler Pro, nicely grained 2-piece Alder with sealer coat only, includes pickguard loaded with two Duncans, prewired to switch and pots, as well as back plate.  If you've got a Kahler and neck, you're 95% there!  $199/all

24. Warmoth Stratocaster Body, solid Walnut, factory routed for Floyd Rose (non-recessed), includes back plate, pickup rings, knobs, pots, trem post sleeves, copper shielding.  A few minor dings but overall nice shape, $175(HOLD-Dominic 3/9).

25. Warmoth Super-Strat Walnut Body, routed for Floyd Rose trem, was with the neck above and suspect that it’s a Charvel product.  Standard Fender routes, never had backplate installed.  The pots in this were dated ’84 and my guess this body as well as the neck, are from the same era.  Made during the times when the school of thought dictated weight equals tone - this is the heaviest Strat body I’ve had (an even 8 lbs.!).  Finished in a clear lacquer with nice gloss – could be made mint with a little wet sanding and finishing.  If you want to build a truly unique Strat—and quite possibly hold the record for heaviest Strat in the world—here’s the perfect body for $225.

26. Warmoth Strat Neck, bargain basement special:  1 11/16", super flat 16" radius, with incredible birdseye maple.  Not one for the mint collectable as it has some plugged neck bolt holes and has had two types of tuners on it.  Also appears to have been a large headstock and reshaped to a small AND had the butt area planed down slightly, around 1/16" plus rosewood chips forward of the nut.  The good news:  Jumbo frets are perfect, it's perfectly straight, will set up fantastic, and look great when completed.  Unfinished back feels great, thin profile.  $99. 

27. Warmoth 1984 Kramer Baretta Neck, (pic2), never used but it did have tuners installed and removed, currently drilled for Sperzels.  Customer paid $275 for this neck PLUS $75 more for pro satin finish.  After sinking all this money into it, he changed his mind and went with another neck.  His loss = your gain.  Just $175 for this really nice neck.  We can also install vintage logo for $50 parts/lab - or $65 or new tuners, Sperzels or period correct NOS Schaller.  

28. Warmoth "21-fret conversion" Strat Neck.  Not the prettiest one but set up great on the guitar it was on.  Somebody crudely hacked off the 22nd fret so it's now a vintage-style 21-fret and there's a chunk of wood missing which we can fill if desired but neither of these impact the playability.  It's a great feeling neck with rolled fretboard edges, thin profile that's very flat in back, nicely broken in with a silky unfinished feel, frets are in great shape.  Maple with rosewood board and pearl dots for a mid-late 60's style look.  Looks aside, killer neck for $129.  

 

1. WD Korina/Ebony Stratocaster, Korina neck with Ebony board, for the ultimate Strat, $219 (note: These look great wth a silver Spagetti logo installed as we did on this example.  I think there's one remaining - the one with the logo installed.  
2. WD Birdseye/Pao Ferro Telecaster, #5, Birdseye Maple with Pao Ferro Fretboard, jumbo frets, 9.5” radius, List $375, Sale $179.  One remaining as of 3/14/09.
