speedracer6 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 and I want to get a locking bridge to keep it in tune where can I find one and how hard is it to put on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotcanX Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 ... a locking bridge is not going to do anything to keep the guitar in tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tukinator Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 FWIW - I put a Gibson TP-6 tail piece in mine and it didn't require any modification. Every other Epi Les Paul I've tried them on requires you to pull the pegs and insert the Gibson ones. Really adds to the sustain too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricochet Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Maybe he means a tailpiece with finetuners? Like this one from Schaller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthemBassMan Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 -Best thing to do is upgrade your tuners. That should keep your tuning solid. L8R, Matt D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evol04gt Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 graphite in the nut and lube the tuners................ since its a 56---DO NOT modify it unless you are retarded... even then-- dont drill even a deeper screw hole in the headstock.

matiac Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 FWIW - I put a Gibson TP-6 tail piece in mine and it didn't require any modification. Every other Epi Les Paul I've tried them on requires you to pull the pegs and insert the Gibson ones. Really adds to the sustain too. That's interesting, my guitar also has a Gibson TP6, but I had to widen the slots in it to fit the stock screws, without having to change out everything else too, but it did improve sustain, not hugely, but it is noticeable, I think the biggest difference was noticed when I "lost" the stock bridge, and replaced it with a Gotoh, I'm not entirely sure if I was listening to the naysayers when I did that or not, it was do-able stock.

Tukinator Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 @Matiac - The funny thing is that the gold top was the first guitar I tried the TP-6 on. It didn't slide right on - it took a little effort - but it wasn't forced. After I was done, I thought 'great' I'll just put one of these bad-boys on everything. I tried it on 2-3 other guitars and it wasn't even close. Here's a close-up of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkwire Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I think the OP might be referring to the locking tailpiece and TOM bridge on the Epiphone website. If that's the case, it will (supposedly) increase sustain, but it won't stabilize the tuning to any extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
