gampadoug 23 Report post Posted May 2, 2019 Soooooooo.... Supposing I want to convert me Gibby to a trap tail. Does Trapeze use the strap pin hole? Do the stop piece pins unscrew? Thank you. - Gampa (I am not a crackpot) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gampadoug 23 Report post Posted May 2, 2019 Just answered my own question. (What is this - Stack Overflow ???) Anyway a pic on Reverb clearly shows a 1981 with a great view of the bottom of the body. The Trap is affixed to the strap button with two additional holes to boot. Installation, therefore, would constitute a virtually irreversible modification. Other than that I reckon the stop piece pins would unscrew leaving metal studs in he body, eh? I could screw in some wooden "dowels" or push in some plastic pieces of flair like...crazy daisies or the like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gampadoug 23 Report post Posted May 3, 2019 Covering the stop tailpiece holes always looks like total shite. Yes. I've seen a few examples and the holes stick out unless the entire guitar has been refinished. Show stopper! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AngelDeVille 132 Report post Posted May 3, 2019 I know this one is common, but it turns my stomach... True value sells panel plugs that look like this... I use them when I delete a potentiometer from a harness... But looks like *** for stop tailpieces. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
