    Wanted - black trapeze tailpiece

    Hi team, I need a black trapeze tailpiece for my Harmony restoration.
    I was hoping to have it done for GOTY, but I'm not going to make it...
    I'd prefer one of the shorter ones, and without the swirly bits in the middle, just two straight arms and the bar for the strings.
    I am happy to pay, swap bits etc. I have a reasonable selection of PBG pickups and other hardware bits and pieces to trade, let me know what you need.
    Thanks

    They are few and far between. Black hardware's not very Jazz, so not common. Enter TP-ETS-B into eBay and you'll find one from the US. They also do a longer standard Harmony length one as well.

    Sounds like a job for Rustoleum black spray paint in either matt, satin or gloss for about $12 per can.

    Thanks Simon, eBay seems the go. But hopefully black can look very Jazz...
    True wazk but getting it to stay stuck on with the rigors of use might be a challenge

    Powder coating is the way to go if you can't find one. Most of the black parts on guitars ( and motorcycles and just about everything else) is powder coated these days. They wouldn't charge much to do a tail piece, there is sure to be one somewhere near you.
