A Huge Range of Guitar Pickups and Parts for Electric, Acoustic and Bass Guitars.
Guitar Parts Shop is an electric guitar, bass guitar and acoustic guitar pickup and parts specialist. We are UK authorised dealers for all the major brands, we have good stocks and we offer great prices. We now offer amp kits!
Great tone is what every guitarist needs - the guitar pickups you use are the key. The original Gibson P90 and PAF humbucker, fitted to Gibson's Les Paul model, and the Telecaster and Stratocaster single coil guitar pickups are the pickups that defined the sound of the modern electric guitar. As Gibson and Fender have struggled to replicate the sounds of their original guitar pickups a wide range of manufacturers like Seymour Duncan, DiMarzio, EMG, Rio Grande and Bare Knuckle have sprung up to provide guitar pickups that can replicate these classics as well as provide new sounds. We sell them all and can help you get the tone you want. We also supply a range of guitar parts to help you make, repair and customise your guitar or bass. Amps are an important component in your sound and we now offer kits that allow you to recreate the classic valve amps of the 50s and 60s.
STOP PRESS - MOJO AMP KITS COME TO GUITAR PARTS SHOP! Now you can recreate one of the classic valve amps of the 50s and 60s. The first UK Mojo amp building course was recently held at Dickinson Amplification at Crystal Palace and here are the happy owners with their Princeton Reverb clones surrounding an original '64 Blackface Princeton Reverb. From left to right - John Dickinson, Andy Gaze (Allparts), Lyndsay Barrett and David Noble (Guitar Parts Shop). See our amp building section.
The ultimate Telecaster upgrade pickups are Joe Barden Danny Gatton T-Style pickups We have just started to stock the Joe Barden range. They're expensive but perfection doesn't come cheap!
We sell Grade A, new stock supplied by the official importer- ever wondered why one or two retailers offer prices that seem too good to be true? It's probably because they are. We do occasionally sell Grade B stock that is ex-demo, etc but we describe it as such and sell it at great prices through our Clearance Section - don't be fooled!!!

Guitar Parts Shop - Price Increases!!!
Unfortunately due to the rapid devaluation of Sterling over the past few weeks our suppliers have increased their prices to us on most of our products which are US made. We will try to work with our suppliers to minimise the increases and we have passed on the reduction in VAT to our customers on all of our products. |
