The Rickenbacker Accent vibrato seems to be a hot commodity these days. You can't buy one for love or money.
Well, we don't want your love, but we will take your money. Because we've now got a complete replacement for the Accent tailpiece.
Our vibrato is designed to vintage specs (and is interchangeable with either new or old units), but engineered to be stronger than the originals:
Please note: We have two different tailpieces available with the vibrato. The standard tailpiece is a direct replacement for the stock Accent vibrato. That means that the mounting hole in the tailpiece is positioned to be consistent with the strap bolt on a guitar which originally had an Accent installed. You can use this to replace a broken or missing Accent or in new construction. We also have an R/trapeze adapter tailpiece. This is identical to the standard tailpiece, except that the mounting hole is positioned higher to account for the higher strap bolt position of the R and trapeze brackets. You can make your choice in the pulldown menu.
And don't forget: we also offer a full range of individual replacement parts for the Accent vibrato: tailpiece, spring, comb, arm, and screw.
