Bridges, tuning keys, and control knobs are all critical components of your guitar, and some thought should be put into not only their functionality, but finishes and style as well. Most hardware is offered in black, chrome, or gold finishes. There are other things available as well, for instance: ebony buttons for your tuning keys.

Not to be overlooked is a good strap lock system. Besides the standard big button design I like, there are some pretty sweet designer ones as well. I will be working on getting some links for all this good stuff in the near future.
