This. Great value, IMO. Really nicely built, unlike most Furutama garbage.
I'd ordinarilly recommend an ABM tailpiece, but they are quite expensive by comparison.

You might contact Repro Guitar Parts to see if they could make or find a hinge plate for you.

I’ve come across the VT60 tailpiece with the four screws would this be an exact fit for the AFJ 91.

Brass instrument shops have the right equipment to repair (weld) tailpieces.

But a cheap generic tailpiece à la the forementioned Kluson or the Furatama ‘garbage’ works great.

I recently got a generic trapeze tailpiece from WD Music, with the ‘raised diamond’ (which makes it look just a little less cheap).

I've owned mine since the first year they became available. It did have a faulty wood-metal tailpiece that failed. I replaced it with a gold trapeze. Changed the pick guard to classic black. Excellent outcome.

Where is this tailpiece from? I like it very much.
Thanks for help.

I also use Swing 12s.

This is what I have jus acquired to replace the stock tailpiece on my Sunset Red AFJ91:

Attachment 13721

I think it will suit the subtle black gradient in burst finish. More pics when fitted next week.

You know that was seven years ago, so I don't really remember. I have a feeling I found it on ebay. I no longer have the guitar, so cannot check for any makers marks.

These crappy Furutama tailpieces are widely available and cheap. I think they are cast zinc, or possibly compressed dryer lint. Maybe both. Here are a few on ebay:

this generic TP was on my af81 when i got it
works great

...sure looks exactly like the piece that's now factory-installed on both current AG95 and AMH90 that i recently brought to the stable.
i've been able to purchase online the same piece from a most distinguished British shoppe, in different finished versions.
according to the description on the packing slip from the UK-based supplier, it's of South-Korean origin – if ever that makes any difference.
between short ones and standard ones, gold-plated ones and black-plated ones, i've bought no less than 6 different pieces in the last months.
even with a magnifying lens, i could not spot a difference to the stock ones i replaced (only for type of finish or overall length, nothing wrong with them).
i only removed the rubber backing that's glued on the body mount, as i don't want no soft thing in there – and i'm happy to keep cracks in the finish instead, if ever they'll grow behind it. :-)
