Tailpieces

Tailpieces for my Arturo Fuentes festival guitars. Walnut and maple. Basically made from leftover fingerboard pieces (the walnut) and bridge material (the maple).

Comment by JUJU on March 19, 2012 at 9:59am: very nice :)

Comment by Bluesheart on March 19, 2012 at 9:11am: Sharp!! Nice work.

Comment by Madurobob on March 19, 2012 at 8:34am: The necks extend through the inside of the box (cut down to avoid contact w/soundboard), butting into the inside end of the box where they are glued to bracing that spans the width of the tail-end of the box. These tailpieces glue onto the outside of the box, with screws that connect them securely to the neck and the bracing inside the box.

Comment by MichaelS Country Boy Guitars on March 19, 2012 at 8:20am: Pretty neat, is that a wrap around tail?

Comment by Madurobob on March 19, 2012 at 8:11am: :) I need to order some more of those string ferrules from CB Gitty!

Comment by timothy chessel jr on March 19, 2012 at 8:08am: thems mighty fine tail pieces
