• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

Current Gibson Tailpiece Studs and Bushings

Apparently Gibson changed over to steel studs not to long ago. My mid 2011 R9 has them. But what about the bushings?

I haven't had my guitar apart yet to take a real good look. Can anyone positively confirm they are using steel bushings or zinc.
