Booga Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Hi, hopefully a simple question, are the sprung section of a long Lyre vibrato, and that of a short vibrato interchangeable? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 My guess is yes. I have the long one, never looked that closely at the short one. There are small, short pins protruding from the sides of mine, the long tail cover hooks to them. Without the cover, I don't think the pins would be very obvious. Never pulled the cover off of mine, so I don't know exactly what that small hidden portion of the spring looks like. You can thank me for nothing. Sorry I don't have a definitive answer.

dickey Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 They are NOT interchangeable. The short tailpiece is drilled for 3 mounting screws,and if you remove the chrome cover over the trapeze,that part of the tailpiece is only drilled for 2,and none of the holes line up. You can, however,make it fit if you don't mind drilling holes in the guitar to mount the Maestro. I mounted one in 1972 to my '67 SG Special.
