DID YOU KNOW?
You can adjust your stopbar tailpiece to accommodate
your string tension. Lower the threaded posts to
decrease string tension or raise them to increase the
tension. Be sure to account for string tension when
changing string gauge or when changing from round
wound to flat wound strings.
You can experiment with your tone simply by changing
out your stop tailpiece for one of a different material.
Looking for a warm, vintage tone? Try a zinc tailpiece.
Need to add a bit more sting definition? Try an aluminum
tailpiece. What about increased sustain? Try a steel
tailpiece. Searching for some more mass with a punch?
Try a bell brass tailpiece.
The tone you’ve been searching for is easily within your
grasp, and you don’t necessarily need to purchase a new
amp or pickups to get it.
