Custom Tone Pros System II T1ZS Locking US Tailpiece Chrome T1ZSC

TonePros System II T1ZSC Locking US Tailpiece Chrome

This is a brand  new Tone Pros T1ZS locking tailpiece in chrome sealed in its retail  package. The studs are 5/16"-24 US threads, for Gibson electrics  and other US stop tailpieces. The tailpiece, however, will fit any  stop bar tailpiece with a 3 1/4" stud spacing if you reuse your existing  studs.

This stop  tailpiece ups the ante by locking the tailpiece to the posts via twosmall set screws on the sides of the tailpiece.  This design is their  best , the tailpiece height is very easy to adjust prior to  locking.  

Sure, one benefit is  the tailpiece won't fall off when you change strings. Yahoo.

But the big payoff  is the tailpiece now couples to the body perfectly, no matter if you screw the  tailpiece all the way down or keep it up. The tailpiece is now perfectly  rigid, and the difference in tone is great - better harmonics, more sustain, livelier.    

Once you try Tone  Pros hardware, you're hooked - I've got them on all my guitars -  solidbodies, hollowbodies, bridge/tailpiece combos, wrap arounds, whatever.  Never disappointed. People spend all kinds of money on pickups and electronics,  try a couple of bucks on the string path and  listen to the difference.
