Black fingers tailpiece for Heritage Johnny Smith

[Tigerpaus]

Hey gang,

I just reacquired this guitar that I had a lot of milage with.  The last owner changed the tailpiece.  I'm trying to put the instrument back to original specs.  I, along with several techs, have had no luck finding one.  Any help out there?  Thanks, Mike

That tailpiece is made by ABM Guitar Parts, Division of JOWO GMBH,

Wolfener Str. 36

Haus X

Berlin, BE 12681

Germany DE.

They make a long and short version, you want the long tailpiece in black for a Heritage Johnny Smith. If ABM doesn't have a black tailpiece in stock they will make one for you.

Talk to Peter Borowski at ABM.

You might find one in stock at a guitar parts supplier. This is old info from November 2018 so things might have changed since then. Fab guitar. Good luck.

I just checked my email for more information and amazingly I still had ABMs email. I hope this helps.

The black tailpieces are hard to get. It's easy to get Gold or Nickel from ABM but black probably will be a special order.

Thanks guys,

On a whim, I contacted Wolfe guitars.  They were pretty sure that they had one but had to search for it.  Bingo!  It's on it's way back to where it belongs!  Thanks for taking the time to assist me in my mission!
