So im surfing through the results for guitar parts and i came across this nice tailpiece meant for guitars at least 1 inch thick. I figured hey, my melody maker is about that and i get the holes would line up perfect with the strap button screw. sure enough it did, and i didnt have to drill any holes :) always a bonus.

some may not like this, but i think this is one of the coolest little mods ever. Plus i now have an excuse to justify the purchase of a tonepros or gibson/gotoh tune-o-matic bridge with roller saddles. the roller saddle bridge will go on my LP that has a bigsby and the stock bridge will make a move to the melody maker. :D no left over parts, no money wasted.

its amazing how a little piece here and there changes up the look. Ive always like floating tailpieces, but hollow body and semi hollowbodies tend to be uncomfortable. (except epi wild kats)

Plus now i can make cool harp-like sounds :cool2:

Yeah, that's an awesome guitar, man. Nice move.

I gotta ask, though, did you add the single-sized hum? What was originally there? Sorry, I really don't know much about melody makers.

Dude, that guitar is sooo rock&roll! I dig it!

That was what i was going for. break the mold kinda. be different! thanks!

I appreciate that! What comes stock in these is a strat sized single coil.

They are more like p-90s in sound, but uber noisy with gain cranked.

The solution was a mini rail humbucker, and the duncans fit perfectly.

I really had a hard time putting this guitar down, but now i dont think i'll be able to haha. It has this chimey clean tone that resembles a 12 strings droney type of chorus-like effect.

Like i said, the harp sounds are rad too.
