Acoustic Guitar Parts & Accessories

The right acoustic guitar parts can make it easier to play your instrument. And if you’re serious about your guitar, you will need to invest in a few inexpensive accessories.

Why Replace Guitar Parts?

There are a few different categories of acoustic guitar parts to consider. The first are parts that are installed on the guitar, many of which can replace faulty or old guitar components. A new bridge saddle or neck may be necessary after years of wear, or after weather and water damage. These parts should be installed by a skilled luthier or at least an individual with a working knowledge of guitar components, as an improperly installed saddle can easily throw off your intonation.

When to Use a Luthier

Nut and fretboard repairs can be similarly difficult, and the replacement of large parts often requires craftsman skills to avoid damaging other components of the acoustic guitar. That said, you can often save money by buying parts online before you purchase at your local guitar repair shop. Parts from our store are typically less expensive than prices charged by local guitar stores. And in addition to a great price, you have a choice of the part materials. We also sell guitar building kits for aspiring luthiers, and if you’re interested in guitar repairs but you don’t want to risk your own guitar, these are great inexpensive options.

Certain parts are can be installed by most any guitarist and can replace worn components or provide a new sound. Bridge pins certainly influence the sound of a guitar, for instance, and they can be switched-out during your next restringing. Many pins are plastic, but pins made from brass or other metals can impart a brighter tone while giving a guitar a very distinctive look.

Improve Your Performance

Some acoustic guitar parts can improve one’s speed and introduce a “new look”. Switching to a thinner or a thicker guitar pick or different strings, for instance, can give some guitarists more control and accuracy. A trigger capo can make for a more seamless show. And if you’re into home recording, try a microphone with special recording patterns that provide consistent sound in the studio. Or magnetic and piezo pickups can do the same on stage.

Every guitarist should invest in acoustic guitar parts that protect their axe and keep it looking beautiful. A new case, a humidifier, and a fresh pickguard are essential for avoiding damage to a beautiful acoustic instrument. If you’ve spent a great deal on your guitar, it makes sense to keep it protected with a hard shell case, particularly if you play a lot of shows in a lot of different types of venues.

Final Advice

Having the right acoustic guitar parts gives you better sound and helps you avoid expensive repair bills. Plus, you can introduce a “new look” to your axe without much effort or expense. Final advice … stick with quality acoustic guitar accessories and you won’t regret it.
