Stop Tailpiece

By Sweetwater on August 31, 2007

Also known as a “stud tailpiece,” this is fixed to the top of many solidbody guitars and some semi-hollowbodies. It is generally used behind a tune-o-matic bridge, and since it is a big chunk of metal that’s attached via threaded studs and anchors directly to a guitar’s top, it tends to give an instrument an extra bit of sustain. The stop tailpiece was patented by Ted McCarty in the 1950s. See also Stoptail Bridge.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
