Made of polished stainless steel in Buffalo, New York. Bottom end is not polished as it faces inside the guitar.

This is a drop in replacement tailpiece plate for Jazzmaster and Jaguar style guitars. Or possibly another style guitar that you've built with a similar style tailpiece. Installation is as easy as changing the strings. 

I had these made originally as a way to turn my Jaguar and Jazzmaster guitars into a hardtail model. I had the string holes moved closer up as well to increase sustain and decrease the buzz commonly associated with these guitars. This creates a better break angle for the strings. I wouldn't use a word like "stop" the buzz as this ultimately depends on the setup and playing style on the guitar. For players like me who don't really use the tremolo on a guitar, this tailpiece suits my playing style. 

Since it is made of stainless steel any scratches you may get on the tailpiece can be buffed/polished out. There is no plating to flake or chip off. 

Guitar(s) in picture(s) not included... obviously just for illustration purposes. Purchase is for 1 (one) replacement tailpiece. 

Orders will be shipped out with tracking the same day payment is received.
