CAN YOU STILL BUY THE SCHALLER QUICK CHANGE TAILPIECE?

[Heritage1970]

Looking for a replacement for an older late 80s Heritage. Cant seem to find any so I'm assuming they're not made anymore? Anyone know where to buy one? Thanks for all help in advance!

I just had a look on the Schaller website, and the old style tailpiece isn't listed, they only have a stopbar. However, given that many people here will have changed the original Schaller hardware on their guitars, I reckon quite a few will have one lurking in their parts drawer -  I know I do. Failing that try eBay, Reverb etc.

Good luck!

New ones, probably not.  But on this forum, you'll find many here that have removed them and probably have them tucked away somewhere as they are frequently replaced.

OK I guess my next question is- does anyone have one on here they would be willing to sell? Lol. Message me here or you can email ToodBeebeMusic@gmail.com

Thanks!

for clarification are you looking at Bridge or Tailpiece? AND what finish I believe they had either chrome, Black or Gold

Looking for a tail piece. The quick change kind as shown below in Chrome. The one in the picture is exactly the kind I need.

Haven't found one. I did find a Gibson TP-6 which has a similar design but with fine tuners. If I remember right, the TP-6 was invented by Ren Wall.

Thanks and thanks for your help searching! Yeah Ren definitely invented the TP6.

Oh wow! Your awesome! Thanks! Definitely the one without tuners in France is the one I'd want. Anyone have experience with Luthimate? Never dealt with them and gotta be honest, the whole overseas thing doesn't sound too appealing. It's kinda looking like I don't have a choice though...?

Skydog 52 or Brent may have one.

Thanks everyone for your help! It looks like Jay Wolfe had one he is hooking me up with. Thanks Jay! I'm not beyond having a second one though just to have around so, definitely message me if you do have one you're looking to sell as I wouldn't mind having a second one. Thanks everyone! Todd
