Back when Gretsch Guitars were out of production, Duke Kramer, who had run Gretsch in their prime time was selling some of the old unused , new old stock parts to a small number of vintage guitar dealers, including some who would shortly after be the 13 guys who helped the Gretsch Company decide which models would be reissued in around 1989 to 1990. I was one of them, & I had bought quite a few...

For sale is my last fully usable "lightning bolt" nickel Gibson tailpiece / bridge combination.

A matched pair of mid 1950s Gibson Les Paul Standard backplates. One for the pots & caps, & the matching toggle plate. These are from a '56 to '59 conversion guitar decades ago.
