When You Need to Swap Your Guitar Parts
If your guitar won’t stay in tune, your intonation’s drifting, or your hardware feels loose no matter how much you tweak it, your guitar parts might be past their prime. Tuners get sloppy, saddles wear down, pots get scratchy; it just happens over time, even on the best rigs.
You might not notice it overnight, but if your guitar just isn’t playing like it used to, don’t blame your hands. Hardware fatigue is real, especially if you gig hard, rehearse often, or buy used.
What Kind of Guitar Parts Can You Get at AMS?
Short answer? Pretty much everything but the wood. From core components to tricked-out upgrades, AMS carries the guitar parts and accessories you need to mod, repair, or reinvent your instrument from headstock to output jack. Here’s what’s on the menu.Â
Guitar Necks
Bolt-on, drop-in, or made to spec; our selection of replacement necks covers everything from modern C-shapes to chunky vintage styles. Whether you’re chasing speed or sustain, a quality neck is your feel factory.
Guitar Bridges & Tailpieces
From vintage-style six-screw setups to modern floating bridges, AMS carries parts that keep your action clean and your sustain dialed in. Worn saddles and bent plates can kill sustain and tuning stability; upgrade once, and you’ll hear it every time you plug in.
Guitar Tuners
Loose tuners make bad gigs. Locking or vintage, six-in-line or 3+3, we’ve got tuner sets to match your headstock and keep your axe locked in tight.

Need fresh pots, switches, jacks, or a full pre-wired harness? We’ve got the guts to clean up your tone and cut the noise. Go solder-free or get your hands dirty — your call.
Guitar Pickguards & Plates
Sometimes a new pickguard is all it takes to breathe new life into your rig. Choose from classic cuts, flashy finishes, and brand-specific fits that drop right in.
Guitar Hardware & Accessories
Nuts, string trees, backplates, you name it. These small parts keep everything tight, smooth, and stage-ready. And yes, we’ve got screws too (the right ones).Â

Frequently Asked Questions: Guitar Parts and Accessories
Got questions about guitar parts and accessories? You're not the only one. Whether you're swapping a few components or planning a full build, here's what players like you are asking.
What guitar parts should I upgrade first?
Start with the parts that affect tuning and tone the most: tuners, bridge, and electronics. Swapping those can seriously improve how your guitar plays, sounds, and stays in tune.Â
Are aftermarket guitar parts compatible with all guitars?
Not always. Most guitar parts and accessories are built to fit standard sizes, but it’s smart to double-check specs, especially for necks, bridges, and pickguards.Â
Are OEM and aftermarket guitar parts really that different?
OEM parts match the original specs of your guitar, while aftermarket parts often offer upgrades in performance or style. Both have their place; it just depends on your goals.Â
