GuitarSlinger Cryocated Aged Aluminum Stop Tailpiece
We love a guitar that's been played hard and maybe has a few scars, it's been making music for decades. With adventures comes injury and loss—and a shiny new replacement part is going to ruin the mojo.
GuitarSlinger has expertly recreated those hard to find parts to vintage specs to restore your treasured road dog. Each hand-aged piece has the grit, grime, and vibe to be right at home on your well-loved guitar.
Cryogenically-treated hardware
Going one step further, each piece is cryogenically frozen or "cryrocated", exposing the hardware to extremely low temperatures (-292°F/-180°C) which shortens the relicing process and stabilizes the metal. GuitarSlinger states that the treated hardware has richer harmonics and higher conductivity.
- Lightweight aluminum stop tailpiece and steel stud set
- Cryocated metal and aging stabilization treatment
- Handmade—each is unique
Vintage correct construction
One of the simplest and most effective tailpiece designs ever, the stop tailpiece has been in continuous production since the early 1950s. Combining lightweight aluminum for the tailpiece and steel for the studs, GuitarSlinger has captured what many consider the best version of this hardware. Used on countless Gibson® Les Paul®, SG®, 335, Firebird® models, and more for decades.
