Edzio Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Just thought I'd share some of my happiness with you all! It's a 1990 with '57 Classics. I left the stop tail on there but I do have the original TP6. It's a dream to play, and the sound... well, you know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpdeluxe Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 This looks like the one posted on The Gear Page -- I do the same thing myself! Beautiful guitar, and I think it's better without the TP6. I had a guitar with one, and it would never stay in tune. Fine-tuners were necessary with clamping nuts and whammy bars, but I think they're a solution to a non-existent problem. Plus, the stop tp looks fine. Great guitars, made during a period that Gibson was having difficulty distinguishing its gluteous maximus from a hole dug into Mother Earth.

Edzio Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 It's not the stock tailpiece but I do have the TP6 if I want to put it back on. The switch is a coil tap. Pretty cool, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artmaker Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Gorgeous!!! I left the original TP6 on my three but the stop tail piece looks great. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tux Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 BEAUTIFUL!!! I own a '82 ES 347 TD myself, but as I bought it second-hand (and road worn), I'd never seen a new one. Very very nice! I also have a stop-bar on mine. I think it looks much better. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
