decided on something ... different.

So im surfing through the results for guitar parts and i came across this nice tailpiece meant for guitars at least 1 inch thick. I figured hey, my melody maker is about that and i get the holes would line up perfect with the strap button screw. sure enough it did, and i didnt have to drill any holes :) always a bonus.

 

some may not like this, but i think this is one of the coolest little mods ever. Plus i now have an excuse to justify the purchase of a tonepros or gibson/gotoh tune-o-matic bridge with roller saddles. the roller saddle bridge will go on my LP that has a bigsby and the stock bridge will make a move to the melody maker. :D no left over parts, no money wasted.

 

 

 

its amazing how a little piece here and there changes up the look. Ive always like floating tailpieces, but hollow body and semi hollowbodies tend to be uncomfortable. (except epi wild kats)

 

Plus now i can make cool harp-like sounds

Keep us posted with the updates as and when they happen!

Where did you buy that and what brand is it. I would like to bookmark the site just in case I ever find a super deal on a MM. I'd like it to look just like that!

Whoa good point. I need a closeup of that setup.

That's definitely different and certainly not a fender. Some tight mod!
