The Breeze 0 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Im new to the site and I was wondering where I could find a lyre whammy bar system for my Flying V? Any help is much appreciated! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BentonC Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Allparts.com offers a version of the Maestro Vibrola http://www.allparts.com/Tremolo-Tailpieces-s/151.htm , though you might have a difficult time finding one with the Lyre... maybe eBay? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Breeze 0 Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Thank You. I know I will sound stupid but can you tell me the difference between lyre and maestro? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BentonC Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 The Lyre is a Maestro with the Lyre engraving on the plate/cover. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Breeze 0 Posted June 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Ok thanks. Is the Allparts one the same size as a Gibson? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BentonC Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 I'm not sure off-hand. I'd recommend checking with the folks at AllParts on that one, but I can't imagine that it wouldn't be designed to be as much of a direct replacement as possible... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andre S 19 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Ok thanks. Is the Allparts one the same size as a Gibson? Check, but I remember someone on the MyLesPaul forums said that the long version was supposed to be a direct replacement but the short version is not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cabba2203 69 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 :) Will the long even fit on a Flying V? The ones I have seen were always the ones without the cover due to the body shape. Example Photo: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Breeze 0 Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Idk bout the long ones... Maybe... "Lonnie Mack" it? Haha. The ones in the pic is the look I want. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
