I couldn't get my guy to finish a second batch of tail pieces, so I asked a contact at Hipshot if they could do it.  I received a prototype from them and it's close to the original, but it's heftier  (a little taller, longer and the slots are wider) and not as refined as an original.  I told them if they could trim it down closer to the original, I thought they'd have a market for them among us TB fans.  Here it is against an original clone............what do you think?

If we show enough interest, I think they'll make a batch for us.  Maybe even trim them down closer to original specs.  Speak up folks!

I would definitely be interested in at least two.

At least two for me. Unless pricing is just stoopid.....

Too bad your guy couldn't come through- last ones he did looked nice!  It's cool that Hipshot might do it, though, and the subtle differences aren't a problem for me.

I'm in for one if they do a batch.

I maybe need one or maybe two, if price is right.

That's looking pretty sharp Bill, much better that than the stock one from BaCH or the ones on my Greco and Ibanez.........Crap! I might need four!  ;)

Did they give you an idea of how much they will cost? They look good by the way.

Big improvement on the BaCH.  I hope you can convince them to make an exact repro.  Depending on price I'd be interested.

...would be in for a bunch.....

Don't know price yet, but I think they would be reasonable based on their other products pricing.  I mean it is just a tail piece!   :P

Nice!  I've always thought the folks at Hipshot made great stuff and were a top shelf business.

Do you think that you could convince them to make bridge to go with it?  ;D
