Tony Zemaitis - large selection of alloy sheets and blocks, used by Tony for the metal fronts, bridges and other metal components of his guitars, withthe backing boards used to attach the plates for polishing; together with a Burgess Power Line Model 72 speed engraver, with fittings, font sheet and a hand inscribed note 'A.C. Zemaitis, 1981', the case inscribed A.C. Zemaitis to the top; also a sheet of wood inscribed 'Lid for 24F pearl front LP, 1993' and a section of plush purple fabric used by Tony for the case linings of his guitars

* Tony Zemaitis' most sought after instruments are the electric guitars, fitted with alloy tops, whilst most other standard guitars would have handmade alloy fittings in some shape or form, including bridges and truss rod covers. The alloy offered is blanks and offcuts from many of these creations.

Whilst it was Danny O'Brien who was responsible for the engraving on Zemaitis instruments, the Burgess Powerline 72 was Tony's personal engraving tool. 

Note that one backing board features an asymmetric guitar design, for a one off guitar that was built.
