Our website will be down for a little while as we transition from one web server to another. You can still send us emails. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Something exciting is coming in 2021! I counted the saddles as per Gotoh's suggestion and there are seven of them. Do we have prices yet? No. Do we have a scheduled release date? No. But at least now you know it's coming and can plan accordingly.

This year the black acrylic plastic BS5 and BL5 buttons have been replaced with FS5 and FL5 buttons. There are three differences that we have noticed. 1. The new buttons (FS5/FL5) are barrel polished and appear shinier. 2. The old buttons (BS5/BL5) have flatter, less contoured faces. 3. The new buttons (FS5/FL5) have some gold detailing.

Gotoh has just updated their website and not only does it look great, it also features some new products and options. Check out the new buttons for the SG510 series! They have six new wood buttons and eight new plastic buttons in their Contour shape. https://g-gotoh.com/product/sgv510/?lang=en

Southpaws and Seven Strings Recently we have added some extra information regarding left-handed versions of Gotoh bridges. Some of the fixed bridges have left-handed versions available and now the landing page shows that more clearly and the prices are being listed. http://www.japarts.ca//Gotoh-Products-Guitar-Fixed-Bridges... Also, we have the 7-string tremolo NS510TS-FE7 prices along with the regular 6-string NS510TS bridges. Please note that the 7-string bridge is only available with the steel block and 2-point pivot. http://www.japarts.ca/Gotoh/Gotoh-Products-NS510T.asp Please feel free to make inquiries at any time and if you notice any errors or omissions please let us know.

We're passionate about stringed instruments but have to admit that Cremona has some delicious distractions. #cremonaguitarfestival #madeinitaly #wellfed

Japarts is in the Acoustic guitar village at Cremona this weekend. If you're at the show please drop by to say hello and see our featured products! #cremona #madeinjapan #Luthier #guitar #bass #ukulele #cremonaguitarfestival #Gotoh #DoMo #Luthiertools

The Wilkinson-designed VS100N is a very popular tremolo bridge, available in four finishes (Honed Chrome, Honed Gold, Honed Black, and Honed Cosmo Black) as well as a left-handed version. Over the years a number of companies have manufactured a bridge similar to this. If you want to know if yours is a Gotoh, there will be a "by GOTOH" under the Wilkinson logo on the plate. Component parts are not generally compatible across manufacturers and in any case we are not allowed to supply component parts for non-Gotoh bridges.
