What a bummer. I had a tailpiece break on a ****** acoustic some years back. It would have cost more than I paid for the guitar to put on a new one though, so I just chalked it up to a loss. Glad you found a replacement.

The silver lining is that there's now a dealer in BFE, and it gave me a reason to visit and chum up.And the price was surprisingly reasonable.

So, will Ric still sell you an R tailpiece if you send them the broken one? I don't think that was clearly stated here. Also, any chance of getting a black replacement, or will it have to be chrome? The reason I ask is because I've got a lead on a Ric with a broken tailpiece.

Then.back into the vault with it.
Good luck intonating the unison G string. May I suggest that in order to keep that set intonated, you get a wound unison G string, like a D'addario 17 or 18 wound.

Have had NO problem with that set, on it or on the 660-12.
I prefer it to anything I've had on it since it was new.
