Not the worst fix I've seen. Worth a punt with a discount.

I agree with the Sgt, looks fairly 'non destructive' to me.

Since you aren't likely to get a replacement for that bad metal original stop tail. I guess a trapeze style stop is one way of being able to play this thing again.
In this case though, I agree, it's a downright fugly choice! Could have been less intrusive.
I'm sure you can make it squawk. But I'm guessing that there won't be near enough downward string pressure to give the sustain of the original design. On an ES330 style guitar it works just fine, but you have a hollow body to compensate.

Still fugly.
I think I'd prefer to see a Bigsby rather than that.

Someone grab and revive that gem! Just needs a tailpiece... do regular LP style tailpieces work on those?

about 8-10mm smaller than a standard Gibson one if I remember correctly
meaning you need to take about 4mm off both sides
Westbone did have one or some made a while back that looked very good

Ah… well that STINKS! This would be another reason Damian had one manufactured, seems it was beyond making it look pretty!
