I have a '52 ES-295 I've owned for a number of years. It came to me with a Bigsby installed and I'm trying to put it back to stock with the original trapeze wraparound tailpiece. It's been quite difficult trying to track down a tailpiece, but I might finally have a lead on one from an ES-225.
Here's what I'm confused about, my 295's stock Kluson tuners are gold plated. Looking at vintage 295s online, I only see guitars with nickel trapezes. Did Gibson ship those guitars with a gold plated trapeze, or nickel? Anybody here know for sure?
Thanks!
