    Does a 74 mm wrap-around tail exist?

    I'm working on a ES-TL1 kit right now, and we really want to ditch the trapeze. I'm looking for a wrap around tail that will fit onto the studs from the bridge. I've found one in Germany, that is for a Deusenberg guitar, but I really don't want to spend the $100 US to get it, and find out it won't fit. Does anyone know of anywhere else I can turn to find something that will fit?

    your other option is to build it with a stop tail and bridge, like a Les Paul

    The bridge for the Duesenberg was a perfect fit.
