Aluminum Tailpiece with mounting studs & anchors
Made in the USA - not a Genuine Gibson® part
Lightweight vintage design - weight is about 1.2 oz.
Plated aluminum alloy
Includes plated brass studs(SAE 5/16 - 24) and zinc plated steel bushings - 1/2" (13mm) diameter
Tailpiece ear thickness is .290"(7.4mm)

The aluminum tailpieces weight 1/4 that of the zinc and produce a much different sound. They transfer vibrations differently, resulting in a woodier, more airy vintage tone - richer, rounder mids but with more upper harmonics as well. Back in the '50s, Gibson® used aluminum for their stop bar tailpieces. For whatever reason, they switched to zinc, which is still used today on all but the historic line.
