Q: What hardware do I need to buy for my Guitar Mill build?
A: Guitar Mill bodies and necks are built to American Vintage specifications. Hardware manufacturers and other parts/guitar builders have a number of different nomenclatures they use to market these parts, but 99% of the time, if hardware is marked “American Vintage,” “AVRI,” “American Vintage Reissue,” “American Original” or “19XX Reissue” it will fit our parts with little to no adjustment needed.
DO NOT buy the “American Standard,” or the “Fender Standard” as those will not fit. “American Standard” is modern spec, and the “Standard” is import (Mexico, Japan) spec.
We know that due to the sheer volume of aftermarket parts available, these options can be overwhelming, but tune in to the keywords “Vintage” or “Original” and your hardware should fit, no problem!
