Does anybody know where I can get an original 1975 gold plated tailpiece for this guitar?

Thanks Forum Members

There's no way to date them.

But, you can try by putting an ad in the Forum classified ads. :wink2

is there something special about this or do you just want to know its the same year?-i have a 76 custom - and i don think theres any detectable difference between old and new except the quality of the finish-old gold ones tend to lose the gold-

FWIW-pigtail makes a great super light wieght tail piece, which are available in gold- and which i installed on my 76 and which is IMHO tonally superior-youd get almost the same by a tone pros light wiehgt tail peice also-presume theyre available in gold too
