Jobois - Precision Guitar Parts & Hardware for Builders, Players and Luthiers

A sub-brand of Exotic Wood Zone, Guitar parts, hardware and accessories

Jobois is the devoted guitar parts and hardware sub-brand of Exotic Wood Zone. Where Exotic Wood Zone supplies the tonewood, Jobois supplies everything that surrounds it: the structural hardware, electronic controls, and finishing accessories that determine how a guitar plays, sounds, and lasts. Every guitar component is selected against three criteria, dimensional accuracy for clean fitment, tonal contribution for sound quality, and long-term durability for instruments built to be played for decades.

Jobois was developed because premium tonewood deserves premium hardware. After 15+ years of supplying luthiers and builders with exceptional exotic hardwoods, Exotic Wood Zone identified a consistent gap. Great wood, but fragmented and unreliable hardware sourcing. Jobois filled that gap, giving every builder a single trusted source for both materials and components.

Structural and tonal hardware

The foundation of any great guitar starts with its physical hardware. Jobois stocks every critical structural component from solid guitar bridges engineered for accurate intonation and maximum sustain transfer, to precision-fit bone guitar nuts and guitar saddles that improve open-string resonance and tuning stability. Guitar bridge pins in bone and composite complete the acoustic string anchor system, while single and double action truss rods provide reliable neck relief control for long-term playability.

For fretwork, Jobois carries fretwire in nickel silver and stainless steel alloys with consistent crown height, alongside precision pre-cut fretboard inlays for position marking and decorative inlay work.

Electronic controls and switching

Responsive controls tell how a player interacts with their instrument. Jobois linear potentiometers provide smooth taper in audio and linear variants for consistent volume and tone response. Lever switches in 3-way and 5-way profiles deliver clean pickup selection with positive detent action, and solid guitar knobs in multiple color finishes and diameters ensure reliable grip and long service life.

Covers, guards and finishing accessories

The finishing details of a guitar define its visual looks and protect its internal components. Jobois offers humbucker covers for clean pickup presentation, guitar pickguards in acoustic and electric profiles, rear backplate covers for secure electronics access, mounting rings for correct pickup alignment, and truss rod covers in multiple headstock shapes and materials.

Complete build and playing solutions

For builders who are starting from scratch, Jobois DIY electric guitar kits include full hardware and body sets with professional-grade components to build, wire, and finish a complete instrument from the ground up. Painted guitar bodies offer factory finished solid and semi-hollow options, ready to route and assemble for faster project completion. Jobois guitar strings deliver consistent feel, reliable tuning stability, and full spectrum tone across multiple gauges, while guitar picks are designed for controlled, consistent feel across playing styles and tempos.
