donald Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Hi I would like to build one of these http://www.elderly.com/gibson-es-295-1952.htm (assuming its not copyright)to put on my epiphone 295 (I know I'm crazy ) and was wondering if any Gibson 295 owners would be kind enough to provide me with some measurements/diagram. I have tried emailing Gibson etc but they only put me in touch with a company that makes them for LP goldtops .Otherwise they are harder to find than Hen's teeth Thanks to anyone that can help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolution Six Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Les Paul and ES 295 trapeze are the same. https://www.gbase.com/gear/gibson-trapeze-tailpiece-1958-nickel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donald Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Still not sure about them being long enough Got some measurements for a LP goldtop one 1.Rod length from the end of the threads to the 90 degree bend: 7" 2.Length of the round part of the nut: Nut length 5/16" bar length 4 and 3/16" 3.Length from the end of the threads to the first bend: 6" The length seemed way too short for my epi 295 Also if its an original LP goldtop one isn't there a problem with the strings being 'underwrapped' Finally I'm sure I could make one cheaper if only I had the measurements.......
