Silverback Vintage – Historically Correct Guitar Parts

Timeless Tone, Engineered by Guitar Monkey

The Silverback Vintage Series by Guitar Monkey reimagines classic guitar hardware with uncompromising attention to vintage detail. Designed specifically for musicians and builders seeking period-accurate tone and aesthetics, this collection of components is rooted in the iconic specifications and materials of the 1950s and 1960s — the defining decades of electric guitar history.

From Tele saddles to Strat saddles and tremolo springs, every part is built to match original vintage dimensions, machining techniques, and visual characteristics. More historically inspired components are already in development.

CryoVibe Technology – Vintage Feel with Modern Stability

Although our components honor traditional specs, they’re also enhanced where it truly makes a difference. Select products in the Silverback Vintage Series are available with CryoVibe treatment — a deep cryogenic process that refines the metal’s internal structure, reduces stress, and improves tonal balance and physical resilience. All of this is achieved without altering the vintage appearance or sonic character.

The result is hardware that feels aged from the very first note — offering the stability, resonance, and harmonic response typically associated with decades of real-world playing.

While Silverback Vintage is presented as a distinct series, every product is manufactured under the Guitar Monkey brand and distributed exclusively by Thomann, where it appears under the Silverback Vintage Series label.
