StewMac Trapeze Tailpiece

StewMac Trapeze Tailpiece

Let your archtop breathe.

An archtop's carved top is built to flex. Anchoring string tension directly to the belly of the guitar restricts that movement, choking its natural volume and tone. A traditional trapeze tailpiece solves this by transferring the load to the tailblock, keeping the hardware completely off the soundboard.

This vintage-style trapeze features a suspended crossbar riding on two tapered legs, channeling the tension straight down to the endblock so the top can move freely. It's a straightforward, practical tailpiece that's perfect for reviving an older archtop or finally getting that project jazz box back in playing condition.
