seratone Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 A friend of mine took his 1980 Gibson ES-347 out of storage after 10 years and was shocked to discover it was covered in mold and mildew - to the point where the after market Trem had basically rotted off the the guitar. He asked me to help out - I do minor setups and restoration of acoustic instruments, but draw the line at Re-frets, body cracks and neck re-sets. I got the guitar back to life after a good surface cleaning with bleach, water and vinegar, then naptha and polish. What was the original stop tail piece on these guitars? and where can those be purchased? - I've seen a photo's of originals online, and they appear to have black intonation screws.

btoth76 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Hello! Gibson TP-6 fine-tuning tailpiece. They are still made for the aftermarket: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/gibson-tailpiece-tp-6 At least, most of the Google results show the guitar with it. Cheers...
