charlie brown Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 www.guitar-parts.com Go to the Gibson guitar catagory, tailpieces and bridges, and I think it's on page 5...or, at least, near the last. They have Gold and Nickle. Hope that helps! Charlie B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Sorry, I misread your post...the ones I referred to, have NO Gibson engraving! I suspect, E-bay, or Gibson, themselves, will be the best bet? Sorry, for the mix up! Charlie B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwhi2001 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 And it may cost as much as your guitar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwillow777 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 You can't get one with the engraving from Gibson. I tried to a little over a year ago. I check with my local shop that is a Gibson dealer and they said that Gibson doesn't sell them. They gave me some run around that Gibson doesn't want anyone installing them but Gibson. But you can get a vibrola at All Parts, it's not a GIBSON, but unless you are willing to pay 3 grand for an SG from the Gibson custom shop, or 2 grand fro the Angus Young SG, unfortunately it's not gonna happen. http://www.allparts.com/store/tailpieces-tremolo-tailpieces,Category.asp Nickel are $150 and gold are $175. I lucked out a year ago I was looking around at my local shop and they just happened to have a G-400 with a factory installed vibrola. So I grabbed it. I am thinking about getting another G-400, but I will most definitely put a vibrola on it. I love the feel of the vibrola a lot more than a Bigbsy or the tremelo on my Strat. I get a much better response. The vibrola won't cover up the holes from the stop tailpiece though, one side will be visible, but I personally think they are worth it.

dubstar Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I have a LH gibson SG that I am thinking of adding a vibrola to...for all you lefties out there, there is a guy on eb offering gibson NOS vibrola stopbar / string anchors (the part that the handle and strings attach to) for $15...I picked on up and all I have to do now is get a maestro and switch out that part... any good engraver could probably duplicate the lyre...
