Gotoh 510 Aluminum Stop Tailpiece

Review By Satchmoeddie
This tailpiece pivots on the studs.
Unlike a standard Gibson style tailpiece the Gotoh pivots on the ball ends of the studs angling the tailpiece up towards the bridge. This eliminates sharp angled bends in the strings, and in the process eliminates stress points in the strings too. None of the wrapping strings over the top of a tailpiece or having the strings bind against the tunnel portals in the tailpiece. It's like a stop tailpiece that angles upwards like a trapeze tailpiece AKA the best of both worlds, with none of the drawbacks. The inserts are exceptionally well made. It's Gotoh so the quality is there.
