325C64 with Trapeze?

Post by uzumaki »

This may have been answered already but can a 325C64 be fitted with a trapeze tailpiece (like the 350V63) without modification?

I am on a waiting list for a 325C64 but really never use tremolo systems. I have a few old guitars with Bigsbys and I never use them. But the trapeze on my 660 is just fine so I was wondering if the Accent Vibrato can be swapped out for a trapeze.

Yep. Just attach it by the strap button only; don't drill the other 4 holes through the anchor.

Unless you have no plans to swap it back again, that is...

You might want to put a little felt underneath to keep it from making an impression into the finish.

Cool - That sounds about as simple as a mod can get!
