- You don't need fancy tools to make a great-looking and wonderfully functional guitar tailpiece!
Hope you enjoy the video and as always, if you have any questions put them in the comments below and I will try my best to answer them. :)
Cheers!

Fun to watch! Love the result!
Thanks Max! Obviously not the quickest way to do it, but it works! :)

Very impressed with you build!
Thanks Jake! :)

This is great! Will you be able to share a copy of the drawing, so i could use for a guitar that needs a trapeze please? Thank you.
It’ll all depend on the guitar you are putting it onto so a drawing wouldn’t help much unless you were making this exact guitar. Better if you custom make it to your specifications. This is also the design of tailpiece I use and one of my signature shapes so I would rather it if there was no drawing for it floating around the internet in case it gets picked up by another brand.
I luv fabrication
What gauge of steel? What is the polishing compound you are using to cause that surface reaction?
Hey Darren!
It’s 16 gauge (which is just what we had laying around the shop) and the patina gel is Birchwood Technologies Presto Black. Works like a charm!
Do you guys take custom orders? If so, how much to make a custom harp tail piece for a gretsch rat rod?
We don’t, sorry!
Sub'd & TU#:81-Amazing.!!
Also, what is the effect on the sound of the guitar as the tailpiece
is shortened toward the end of the guitar, making the string length longer.?
I am considering as short a tailpiece length as possible on an Ibanez electric AG85
true hollow body .....
Thanks! Hmm, well I’d say you wouldn’t be able to hear a difference because of length of string behind the bridge. You may hear a very slight difference as you move mass away from the bridge though since the strings no longer have to move as much mass to vibrate the top. Honestly though, I doubt that even the most trained ear would be able to hear any difference in either situation, especially on a hollow body electric. 🤷🏻♂️
@@zachlefebvre4825 Thanks, I will let you know how it turns out, may be a while.
Cool, good luck! :)
