The CWT compensated wraparound tailpiece is a modern replacement for vintage Gibson Les Paul Juniors, Specials, Goldtops, and Melody Makers as well as Historic Reissues with wraparound tailpieces. It is designed to correct the intonation issue associated with Gibson’s 1950’s style wraparound tailpiece while maintaining the aesthetics of an original vintage original part. An offset ridge allows for near-perfect intonation while a crisp radius at the break point ensures that the sitar-like buzz common to many original wraptails is not a problem. The CWT tailpiece is CNC machined from 7075 aircraft grade lightweight aluminum bar stock. The nickel plated finish is available in either aged or un-aged form.
In this YouTube interview with Guitar Player Magazine, Jimmy talks about planning and rehearsing the music for each night's Conan Show. He also takes us on a tour of the back room for a peek at his guitar collection which includes that beautiful '53 Goldtop.

The Trapeze Tailpiece is designed to improve the playability of 1952-1953 Les Paul Goldtops by replacing the original “wrap-under” bridge with a compensated “top-wrap” bridge which dramatically improving the tuning of the guitar and allows for palm muting of the strings. The CTT tailpiece is CNC machined from 7075 aircraft grade lightweight aluminum bar stock. The tailpiece is designed to fit onto the existing trapeze rods (rods are not included) and it is adjustable for both intonation and height. The standard finish is aged (un-aged available on request) $165
The CWT60-A Wraparound tailpiece is identical to the stock lightning bolt wrapround tailpiece as used on 1960's Gibson wraparound guitars except that it is compensated for modern 3-wound/3-plain string sets rather than 4-wound/2-plain string sets.
Although both the CWT and the CWT60 tailpieces will physical fit onto any Gibson wraptail-style guitar, you must choose one model or the other depending on the positon of the studs. The CWT will intonate properly on guitars with 1950's-style offset studs. The CWT60 works on guitars with 1960's-style studs which are positioned even with each other.

Gibson USA Original Collection Juniors, Specials, SG Juniors... For some reason on the recent USA models, Gibson has the studs offset at a less than the optimum angle (the bass stud should be a bit farther back), however the adjustment range of the CWT tailpiece will still allow for it to be set up with correct intonation.
The sideways vibrola unit installed onto the early 1960's Gibson SGs is notorious for causing tuning issues and in some cases making these otherwise wonderful guitars prettymuch unplayable. The VibroStop Conversion Kit allows for an easyconversion of the stock Gibson sideways vibrola unit to a solid stop type setup. All of the springs and moving parts of the stock vibrola unit are replaced with a single solid block. The VibroStop conversion tailpiece block is precisionCNC machined from aircraft grade 7075 tempered aluminum barstock and plated with a nickel finish.
Once installed, the tuning stability is dramaticallyimproved and on par with an ABR/stopbar setup. Additionally, the VibroStopincreases the downward angle of the strings behind the bridge resulting inimproved sustain and tone.

The Reissue VibroStop Locking Kit consists of two nickel-plated machined brass clamp blocks and necessary fasteners. The clamp blocks replace the stock bearing block which is located in the center of the Vibrola unit and is fastened to the body with two wood screws. Installation instructions are included with the kit. It’s quite simple to install and can be done in about 10-15 minutes. The kit was designed with several goals in mind:
Lock the Vibrola unit, preventing it from moving front-to-back, top-to-bottom, and side-to-side, thus stabilizing the tuning. - Pull the Vibrola unit downwards to Increase the break angle of the strings behind the bridge. This helps to stabilize the tuning and to increase sustain. - Make the modification completely reversible so that the Vibrola function can be restored if desired.
Buttons only fit smaller diameter #6 screws. Neither the body nor the head of the larger #8 screw will fit inside the button. All to often, the solution people rely upon is use the smaller #6 screwtuck toothpicks into the hole so that it is tight.

Straplock buttons accomodate a larger size #8 screw which has a custom-size head that fits the buttons. buttons are fully compatible with both Grover and Schaller straplock systems. The Straplock kit includes (2) Grover strap locks and (4) buttons with #8 x 1-1/2 screws, so its good for one strap and two guitars. Nickel finish.
* Some Gibson guitars have a #8 screw attaching the strap button to the lower bout and a #6 screw attaching the neck button. The straplock button is compatible with the #6 screw so the stock screw may be used if desired, although installation using the larger #8 screw is recommended for the most reliable attachment.
Replica pickguards are routed from sheet material just as Gibson fabricated their pickguards in the 1950's. The edges of the guards have chatter marks from machining just as the original guards did in the 1950's. pickguards makes a great upgrade for those looking for a more authentic look of their Gibson Historic and USA Les Pauls.

Why does offer so many variations of Les Paul pickguards? Because Gibson has changed the screw location, pickup spacing, and the outer profile of the Les Paul pickguard many times over the past 60 years. Most aftermarket Les Paul pickguards are made in one size and the likelyhood that they will fit your guitar properly is slim. guards are available in a variety of sizes for specific models and years to ensure an accurate fit.
The price for any standard pickguard is $50 with an aged finish or $40 un-aged. 5-Ply BWBWB guards are available in any standard profile for $50 aged, or $45 un-aged.
Eft-handed versions at no extra charge. If you have a special order or have questions regarding which guard would be the best fit for your guitar, please contact me at info@

This pickguard is custom designed for an improved fit on 1998 Historic Les Pauls, which from the factory had a 1/8 gap at the bridge pickup. The guard is the same as the PGH99, except that it has been stretched 1/8 towards the bridge pickup, thus eliminating the gap.
This pickguard is custom designed specifically to fit the Jeff Beck Oxblood model. The pickup space measures 2-7/16 (61.9mm). This guard is designed to eliminate the 3/16 gap seen at the bridge pickup with the stock guard.
Vintage Fit guards are made to fit Historic Les Pauls with a looser fit as typically seen on the original 1958-1960 sunburst Les Pauls. The outer fin profile of the PGH99VF and PGH09VF is exactly per an original 1959 sunburst Les Paul pickguard. The neck pickup cutout is wider than the ring itself thus creating a gap on the south side of the ring.

This is a fin shaped Les Paul style pickguard that was made to replace the wave-shaped guard on a Heritage brand Les PaulLeo Fender never would have believed that people today are looking through magnifying glasses at the screws in his guitars to check if they're correct, says Steve Poole. Steve runs Vintage Haven in England and specializes in vintage parts for electric guitars. He smiles at this notion, and adds that Leo probably would have been more interested in how cheaply he could get those screws.
