Slash Les Pauls Signature Tailpieces

[Killertone]

Hi, I bought last week a 2008 Slash Goldtop. The tailpiece is "TonePros by Gotoh" locking and his weight is 76 grams. I think it isn't aluminium because my gibson historic is 30 grams.

Bridge is TonePros TP-6 locking

Do you know what tailpieces are in other Slash USA Sig? Alu or Zinc?
I'm very confused.


thanks

its probably zinc and some other metals i think they call it zamac? an $8 part on a guitar that costs thousands.

Stock hardware and unspecified hardware are zamak (zinc), even if it's tonepros. The aluminum ones will be advertised with aluminum as a selling point. Only historics use the aluminum gibson stopbar.

Tonepros makes an aluminum locking stopbar too.

just curious, how much do you think the wood costs? maybe 100 quid
the paint too...
the total cost of the parts of the guitar is probabably less than 300?
