Howdy, folks:

About a week ago during a web search to see if there were any ‘60s reproduction T-Bird bass bridges out there to be had, I came across a link to a web site that was offering replacement bridges for Gibson/Epiphone Thunderbirds. I went to the site and found a typical three-point bridge so common to the ‘70s Gibsons and Epiphone Thunderbirds; but I was surprised to see that it came with a ‘60s style stop tailpiece! It didn’t make any sense why you would need that with three point bridge? But, it was the tailpiece that I was interested in, but stupid me, I forgot to bookmark the site! I tried all week to relocate the link with no successes…bummer. Would any of you folks here be familiar with this site? If so, would you e-mail the link to me at: pettigew62@yahoo.com. Thank you,

Sincerely: Danny

Hey Danny,

yeah, these were available for quite some time - potentially Allparts (?)

However I understand whoever did them stopped doing the tailpiece. Allparts certainly still make the brideg though.

I did get one once, but I am not 100% certain it was Allparts. I'm sure someone else can remember.

Howdy, Jules:
Thanks for the info! At least I have something to google now. Another thing that I find aggravating is the new reproduction T-Bird bridge I’m planning to buy soon don’t come with the tailpiece! Doesn’t figure?

Thank you for your reply.

Scott Dasson makes replacement 60's bridges, but offer more travel for better intonation.

Howdy:

Well, I finely located a reproduction of a ‘65 Thunderbird bass bridge (by Ben Lindsey Guitars) and should have it in a week or two. But the down side is, I’m having trouble trying to locate an aftermarket tailpiece to go with it. Dose any body out there have an “old” discarded T-Bird tailpiece that they got with a Allparts three point bass bridge they don’t want?…I have money!
