The Real Nylon Parts! True to Vintage!

General Vintage Tone proudly presents its PRE-CBS Series, featuring the most authentic reproductions of vintage parts, including Nylon and HIPS components.

Many of the original vintage plastics from the golden era were made from nylon—and these covers, knobs, and tips had a distinctive look and feel that is unmistakable. Our new "True to Old" Nylon Series faithfully recreates these iconic parts, capturing the essence of yesteryear's craftsmanship.

Each piece in our Nylon Series reacts to black light just like the original vintage parts, with covers and knobs glowing yellow/green under UV light, just as they did on classic Fender models.

We also offer HIPS parts, which show a distinct UV response, just as seen on pre-1960 models. These parts are available as well, offering the same authentic vintage aesthetics.

Pre-CBS Series – Tooling Marks Inside and Out – True to Vintage Hysteric Collector

Our Hysteric Vintage Collector Series includes meticulously crafted parts, featuring both internal and external tooling marks (mold impressions) that are true to the original vintage designs. In our opinion, these are the finest reproductions on the market—there is simply no equal.

Each piece in this series is designed to capture the authentic character and attention to detail of the original Pre-CBS components, offering collectors and players the ultimate in vintage accuracy and craftsmanship.
