Graham Mekjian Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Is it possible to buy a maestro vibrato separately because I can't find one anywhere and I'm wondering if that's just something you can't buy. Just in case some of you aren't familiar with what a maestro vibrato is here is a link to one. http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/SG/Gibson-Custom/Robby-Krieger-SG.aspx If you can find a website where it is sold please list it in a comment. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowdiddley Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Dang, I need another cup of coffee, I read the title of this thread as "Master Vibrator" and was wondering what had been posted now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre S Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Allparts.com sells the un-engraved maestro vibratos, both the gold and chrome/nickel (can't remember) and the long and short versions. Alternatively if you want a Gibson vibrato you can purchase a used one on ebay, with the gibson engraving. Also I think you can send the guitar you want it on for installation to Gibson and it will be a new Gibson tailpiece. I don't know if they offer this again, but someone who did send it either from this forum or another said for the installation, part and filling and refinish of the old stoptail holes was $700 The tailpiece holes do show.

L5Larry Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Here's the link to the AllParts un-engraved version (gold one, short ones also on nearby pages). They obviously can't one with the Gibson engraving due to trademark infringement. http://www.allparts.com/Long-Gibson-Style-Nickel-Vibrato-Tailpiece-p/tp-3680-001.htm Gibson also invented a quick and easy stop-tail bushing hiding devise, the "Custom Made" snap-in medallion. A piece of engraved two-ply plastic (similar to the truss rod cover material) that just pushes into the bushings. I have seen them available from aftermarket parts dealers also.

I believe that only works with the Bigsby not with the Maestro at least on SG guitars. The trem arm piece blocks some of the holes so some of the holes show on the outside of the tailpiece. Can you imagine a SG classic with this and nickel kidney bean grovers? Amber selector switch and witchhats? Oh yea..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 You can find Maestro trems at allparts I think (at least I saw some a while ago in their websites) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
