Guitar and bass parts are essential supplies for every player. Whether you’re looking to replace stock hardware or a part that has succumbed to wear and tear, having proprietary parts readily available is crucial.

At Gibson, we ensure that all the guitar and bass guitar hardware you need is available online. From knobs and switches to tailpieces and tuning machines, you’ll find what you’re looking for here.

There are all kinds of reasons to purchase guitar parts and hardware. For example, you may want to change out the parts that came with your guitar to make it look more like your favorite musician’s instrument. Or perhaps you have your own signature design in mind and want to bring that look to life. Swapping out essential components, such as guitar pickups or pickup covers, can significantly alter your instrument's tone and appearance, tailoring it to your personal preferences. Upgrading the bass bridge or guitar bridges can enhance the overall sustain and stability of your acoustic or electric guitar, making it perfect for any performance style. Adding new control knobs, a stylish switch tip, or secure strap locks can not only improve functionality but also give your acoustic or electric guitar a unique aesthetic. Ensuring precise tuning with high-quality tuning machines and secure installation with reliable mounting screws further customizes your guitar to your liking. Whatever your reason for swapping out aesthetic hardware pieces, such as strap buttons and a pickguard, Gibson gives you that freedom.

Of course, there are also utilitarian reasons for switching out your bass parts and guitar hardware. For some, it’s all about the way a knob or tuner feels. For others who have had an instrument for years, a replacement may sometimes be needed. Gibson guitars are designed to last, but some guitar parts—especially those that receive daily use—may need to be replaced periodically.

It doesn’t matter if you need new parts for aesthetic, practical, or necessary reasons. We have an extensive collection of guitar and bass hardware ready to ship out at a moment’s notice. Lose your toggle switch cap at a show? We’ve got you covered. Need a new set of humbucker™ covers for your beloved Les Paul™? We have those in stock.

You should be able to handle most repairs, replacements, and aesthetic switchovers by yourself with a few simple tools. However, if you’re ever unsure which guitar parts to use or how to remove and replace various other miscellaneous parts, check out the Gibson TV series, Gibson’s Guide to Guitar Setup and Maintenance, or get in touch with your local luthier. An expert can ensure that every adjustment is made properly, keeping your guitar or bass up to the high standards you’ve come to expect from Gibson.
