Interesting, a good upgrade without any modification to the guitar wood. What's the best tailpiece for you Jents? Have you tried the Resomax by Graphtech?
Not yet man. I've tried gotoh, faber, stock gibson. Tailpiece most of the time is ignored though i have heard different tones just by changing it, lalo na yung studs.
Vintage correct studs are longer, and made of pure iron steel, not brass just like the stock from gibson, faber, or gotoh. To me the Gibson stock tp and studs already, they have this airy tone with zing. Faber comes after then gotoh. I wanted to try the RS or the Hysteric parts Area 59 though i just went with the reviews. Pigtail so far is the lightest, most accurate, and fits perfect the steel studs, no gap at all. The guitar improved, meatier tone but with clarity. Others may find this BS but this is what you get when you spend so much time trying to figure out how the guitar would sound with different modifications. I've tried some guitars which still can improve but people simply ignore them as they think effect is minimal. Oh well, kanya kanya lang.
