The Vault is our archive of 2,500+ discontinued and end-of-life instruments, kept on record with their specs and known parts compatibility. Nothing in it is for sale. It exists because owners still need to know what their guitar actually shipped with — nut width, radius, post spacing, hardware sizes — long after the product page would normally be deleted.

Most shops delete a product page when the guitar is discontinued. We keep it.
Because owners need the specs long after the guitar left the catalog
If you own something that stopped being made a decade ago and you need a nut, a bridge or a set of tuners, the hard part isn't finding the part — it's finding out what the guitar shipped with. Nut width, fretboard radius, post spacing, hardware sizes. That information usually disappears with the product page.
Because a model name changes more than people expect
The same model can change routing, hardware sizes and even scale length between production years, factories and markets. A record of what a specific year actually was is the difference between a part that drops in and a part that gets returned. See the fitment guide for which measurements matter.
Because these guitars are still being played
End-of-life means no longer manufactured. The ones already out there still need parts, setups, and occasionally rescuing.
Own one? Put it on the record
We're opening The Vault to owner submissions — photos of the build, what you've changed, what you've learned. The instruments are more interesting with their histories attached.
FAQ
Can I buy anything in The Vault?
No. It's an archive. If you're hunting a specific discontinued instrument, tell us and we'll keep an eye out.
Why do the listings show a past price?
It's recorded as a spec, for reference — what the instrument sold for when it was current. It is not an offer.
Will you help me find parts for one?
That's the whole point of keeping the record. Send us the model and year.
How do I add my guitar?
Contact us with photos and the model details and we'll add it.
