Hey folks I am in the process of getting the hardware for the GT conversion I am working on.
I have in my possession a 1965 tailpiece and a early 1970-71? ABR bridge (patent num no foundry)
I was wondering what differences there are between the 50's era vs 60's era pieces. I read somewhere that
that 50's and early 60's hardware was virtually identical but that after Norlin took over in 69 they sourced cheaper stuff.
I don't know if that is true but any guidance would be appreciated. PS what is the difference between the LP Jr wrap tailpiece and
say a Les Paul standard tailpiece from that era, if any?
Thanks
