johntrem Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Replaced the original on my '04 Epi LP Standard with an aluminum stop bar tailpiece (also a set of pure nickel strings) and now have what seems to be a warmer tone. Anyone have the same experience or am I hearing things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Its possible I suppose. Were you using pure nickel strings prior to the tailpiece change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johntrem Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 No, but I've switched from nickel wrapped steel to pure nickel on other guitars in the past (strats) and didn't notice this much of a difference. Maybe the combination of the two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 If it were me, I'd experiment next string change and swap the old tailpiece back to compare. Whether the warmer tone suits you or not, you'd have an better informed choice moving forwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
