icantbuyafender Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feldkeen4 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WahKeen Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 That's definitely different and certainly not a fender. Some tight mod! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
