GibsonTailpiece Stop Bar - Chrome
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Chrome stop bar tailpiece for guitars with a stud-mounted bridge setup. Anchors the strings behind the bridge and replaces a worn, pitted or wrong-colored original.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a pitted or corroded tailpiece on a stop-bar guitar
- Matching chrome hardware after swapping a gold or nickel bridge
- Restoring a guitar missing its original tailpiece
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitars with a wraparound bridge or a trapeze tailpiece
- Bolt-on Strat-style guitars with a through-body or tremolo bridge
- Players wanting nickel or gold hardware to match existing parts
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Chrome finish
Brighter and cooler than nickel, and it holds up to hand sweat better than aged or relic finishes.
Detail 03
Gibson-made
Sized to Gibson stud spacing, so it drops onto Gibson-spec bodies without redrilling.
Detail 04
Sold on its own
This is the tailpiece only, so your existing studs and bridge stay in place unless they're also worn.

Know before you order
- 01Mounting studs and bushings may not be included; check what's already in your body

- 03Strings must come off to swap it, so plan on a fresh set
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Are the studs included?
Confirm before ordering. This is the tailpiece bar itself, and many guitars reuse the studs already anchored in the body.
02Will this fit a Les Paul-style guitar?
It's made to Gibson stud spacing, which is what stop-bar guitars use. Measure your stud centers to confirm before buying.
03Does it work with a Bigsby?
A Bigsby anchors strings itself and usually replaces the stop bar, so this isn't the part for that setup.
04Chrome or nickel?
This one is chrome. It reads brighter and cooler than nickel, so it won't match nickel hardware exactly.
