    Looking for a repro 60's T-Bird tailpiece, can't remember who on here was offering one. Or, an Allparts tailpiece like they used to supply with their repro Gibson 3 point bridge. It's the same tailpiece that is on the T-Bird in my avatar. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

I am all out of tail pieces and my machinist has 15 on his bench right now, but they won't be ready for 3-4 weeks (or so he says!!!).
I'm fixin' a hole where the rain gets in..........cuz I'm built for a kilt!

I bought three from Bill early this year... they are worth the wait!!!

Yup, it looks like I'll have to wait for Bill to get some more in. The Allparts one works fine too, but they don't supply them with the 3 point bridge anymore. I used to buy just the tailpiece from Scott at Allparts. If anybody does find an Allparts tailpiece, please let me know.   Thanks for your input!

Looks like Scott Dasson has found an Allparts tailpiece in his parts drawer!  To the rescue!  Thanks, bro.
