A distinctive modern alternative for archtop mandolins, made from a rigid one-piece casting for bend-free stability. Many players find the extra weight of this design enhances sustain. There’s no cover to loosen or rattle, and the integral string mounting posts make loop-end string installation fast and easy. The base is contoured for a snug fit against the curved edge of the instrument. Screws and metal strap button included.

Before installing this tailpiece as a replacement, note that the mounting holes don’t match traditional Gibson screw spacing, and the strap button is screw-mounted.
