It seems the mustards out number the beiges ten to one. I would just be sure I had all the bases covered before I sent that beaut back. I still have threads showing out of the back of my tailpiece, although it is tilted and not flush with the studs. Also you have no threads protruding out of the back of the tailpiece. even.Īll this being said I do not like that there is daylight between the "claw" of your tailpiece and the stud on the bass side. I just ordered a light weight tailpiece to try out, which if I like the tone will get the guitar to 7lbs. It weights 7.1 and plays like a dream, to the point my brace of R8's are getting jealous.

I noticed if I change the tuning of a string (say drop D), then the tilt of the tailpiece changes slightly and the other strings need to be retuned. The tuning is also a little unstable, but I haven't determined whether that has anything to do with the bridge. These other LPs all have the exact same measurements between the nut, the 12th fret, and the bridge posts, and the tailpieces on the CS Special and R4 sit snuggly around the posts.Īdmittedly, the guitar plays okay, but the bridge looks off and because of the tilt, I'm not sure if the strings are getting a proper wrap around the tailpiece.
