Q: What is the main advantage of the Gibson TP-6 Tailpiece with Fine Tuners?

The Gibson TP-6 Tailpiece stands out with its integrated fine tuners, allowing for incredibly precise pitch adjustments right at the bridge. This stop bar tailpiece design, combined with the ability to make micro-adjustments, ensures superior tuning stability and allows for quick, accurate tuning tweaks during performances or recording sessions without needing to reach for your headstock tuners.

Q: How do the fine tuners on the TP-6 Tailpiece work?

The TP-6 features six individual fine-tuning screws, one for each string, located at the back of the tailpiece. Once your guitar is roughly tuned with the headstock tuners, you can use these small screws to make very subtle, precise adjustments to each string's pitch. This is especially useful for achieving perfect intonation or making quick corrections on stage.

Q: Do I need a professional to install the Gibson TP-6 Tailpiece?

The Gibson TP-6 Tailpiece is designed as a direct replacement for many Gibson-style electrics and includes the necessary studs and inserts. While many guitarists can install it themselves, precise setup is crucial for optimal performance. If you're not comfortable with guitar modifications, a qualified guitar technician can ensure proper installation and setup.

Looks great on my Gibson SG, but unfortunately does not work all that well in its advertised role, which is fine tuning. IMHO, the adjustment screws need to have a considerably higher tuning ratio, as they seem to be no better than the stock machine heads themselves. If you're like me, and mainly purchased it because it looks freaking awesome, I say go for it! If you'd like to buy it to use it for its intended/advertised function, you may consider looking elsewhere. Perhaps something like the Leo Quan "badass bridge" with the fine tuner add on, may actually be the better choice, but YMMV because I've not tried the Leo Quan. In summary, if you like the looks of it, buy it…if you want it for it's actual fine-tuning ability, this may not be the best choice.

First, I should say I purchased this for an Epiphone Les Paul. I thought I could just change out the tailpiece, but I noticed the studs for the Gibson TP-6 tailpiece were a larger spacing. I was going to use the supplied Gibson studs to work with the TP-6 tailpiece, but they were a different thread pitch, so now the Epiphone inserts needed to be replaced. But then I noticed the Gibson inserts were a larger diameter. I didn't want to drill larger holes in the body and risk damaging it, so I decided to try using the correct pitch tap and change the threads in the Epiphone inserts. I was very careful and that was successful! So, I could then use the Gibson posts and tailpiece in the Epiphone inserts. Just a heads up if you buy this for an Epiphone!
That said, once installed, I love the TP-6! It is so much easier and faster to fine tune on the tailpiece, and the guitar seems to stay in tune better.

Put this on a Les Paul classic. G used to go out of tune easy. Not no more. Stays in tune a lot better. Great update on that alone.

An incredible piece of machinery! Where have you been all my life! Not only does it function properly and looks cool.. it increases tuning stability by just being there! Zero installation difficulty.. Just popped it on. Thank you Sweetwater!
