jwj Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 any suggestion on after market hinges for use in making an ebony tail piece. That just seem to be a better way to attach rather than the cable around the endpiece. anyone out there making there own??? or are some specifically made for this purpose?? does not seem to be much out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwj Posted February 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Myka did it here. I had seen that before when I searched to see if this subject had come up before. Myka's tutioral by far the most helpful on this issue and great to read in general. I not sure about my ablility to do that kind of drilling into a small piece of brass. actually I'm not even sure where to get a small piece of brass I figured that I would ultimately end up trying to make my own, but I thought that before I started that process I'd see if there was a hinge out there somewhere specifically made for guitar tails.

jwj Posted February 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 someone has to have tried using an off the rack strap hinge rather than building your own....?? anyone.. anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orgmorg Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Well, this probably isnt quite what you were after, but I couldn't resist. The tailpiece, as you can see, is an old, rusty strap hinge off a barn with six holes drilled through the barrel for the strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwj Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Now we're getting somewhere... You're right not quite what I had in mind but interesting none the less. I found some small decorative brass hinges that may work for my purposes. It may be a while, but when I'm done I'll post some pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
