If the black R tailpiece on your 12-string Rickenbacker broke into pieces or if you're just tired of messing with it every time you change the strings, we have the perfect solution for you. Our trapeze conversion kit enables you to replace your R tailpiece with our unique -- and infinitely cooler -- 12-string trapeze tailpiece without drilling any holes in your guitar. Think about it:

  • String changes are a breeze: no more trying to keep the strings from falling out the bottom of the tailpiece while you're wrapping the tuners on the other end.
  • With 12 holes, there's a place for each string. No more binding, pinging, buzzing, or rattling because you have two strings in the same hole.
  • No holes to drill. Our adapter bracket uses the same mounting holes as your original R tailpiece bracket.
  • The trapeze flat-out looks better.
Everything you need to swap tailpieces is included in the conversion kit: 12-string trapeze tailpiece, adapter bracket, and mounting screws.  And they are all black.
