Vintage Vox Guitar Parts
I regret to tell you that North Coast Music does not offer any vintage Vox guitar parts.
A little history helps explain the reason why there are no new old stock parts available.Vox purchased a majority of the guitars manufactured in the 1960s from EKO in Italy. The original EKO plant went out of business in the early 70s, and the inventory of remaining parts for their Vox production was pretty much already gone at that time.
The American importer of the Vox guitars for Thomas Organ in the 1960s (in addition to being the former exclusive US agent for EKO) is a close family friend of mine, Mickey LoDuca. He also is a drummer that has played in several bands I have worked with. I have scoured the remaining parts bins in the LoDuca Brothers warehouse looking Vox or Eko guitar parts, and I have found none. I was told by Mickey LoDuca that about ten years ago, LoDuca Brothers liquidated all of these parts.
Basically, I can tell you that there are no NOS (new old stock) parts for Vox guitars left in the world. Included in this list of "no longer available NOS parts" are pickups, tuner keys, bridges, bridge covers, switches, cases, knobs, vibrato assemblies and handles, basically everything.
