  • Aluminum Tailpiece
  • Made in the USA - not a Genuine Gibson® part
  • Lightweight vintage design - weight is about 1.2 oz.
  • Plated aluminum alloy
  • Does not include mounting studs or bushings
  • Tailpiece ear thickness is .290"(7.4mm)

These are made to fit USA Gibson® guitars and might not fit all imports guitars.  example - most Gibson guitars have 5/16"(8mm) clearance on the studs.  PLEASE CHECK BEFORE ORDERING!

The aluminum tailpieces weight 1/4 that of the zinc and produce a much different sound. They transfer vibrations differently,  resulting in a woodier, more airy vintage tone -  richer, rounder mids but with more upper harmonics as well. Back in the '50s, Gibson® used aluminum for their stop bar tailpieces. For whatever reason, they switched to zinc, which is still used today on all but the historic line.

    I've used these on all my Gibsons, as well as on some imports. They're the best quality and price that I have found.

    Lightweight Aluminum Guitar Tailpiece - Tailpiece only - for US Gibson

    These guys are faster than light, they emailed me that the item had been shipped 1 hour after I completed my international order! !!! I had it in 3 days unbelievable. It fit perfectly on my 1991 Gibson les Paul, it weights 4 times less than the original so now the guitar is properly a medium weight, and is also much more balanced when I play seated, that is, I have to really angle it before it starts pivoting. In my opinion the sound has improved it has a bit of an acoustic quality to it now, even when I play the guitar dry. In conclusion, one of my best purchase EVER I only wish I got this little piece of 'gear' 30 years ago. Thank You Philadelphia! Marco

    I used this as a wrap around bridge, fits perfectly and brightens up my LP. Intonation was good.

    I've always a bit of a skeptic when it comes to these kinds of tone enhancing aftermarket parts. But decided to give these light aluminium TPs a try (even bought 2 at the same time!) and low & behold, the difference both sound & weight was immediately noticeable, and in a good way! So light & so 'open' sounding. Even put one on my prized 1969 SG Standard (originally had a bixby, replace by a stopbar TP in the 80s) and am glad I did.

    I like to top wrap some of my Les Paul's. This is a perfect replacement so you don't damage the original tailpiece.
