Up for sale is an original, late 1940s to early 1960s Gibson nickel-plated tailpiece. This is the authentic "clover leaf" hinge style designed specifically for full-depth archtops.

If you are restoring a golden-era Gibson and need period-correct hardware, this is a fantastic opportunity to harvest high-quality original components.

The Details:

  • Compatibility: Correct for Gibson ES-150, ES-125 and other models.
  • Period Correct: This style was used from the late '40s through the '50s and into the early '60s. It features the era-appropriate strap button plug hole and the small mounting hole directly beneath it.
  • Finish: The original nickel plating is in great shape with a beautiful, natural vintage patina—no modern "relic" job can match this look.

Condition – "For Parts or Repair":

  • The Hinge: Like many of these vintage pieces, it has the common break in the hinge area and will require a professional repair to be fully functional again.

Authentic vintage Gibson hardware is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Don't miss out on these genuine parts for your restoration.
