Beautiful! I'd love to buy that exact tailpiece if you make it available alone!

Those strings should work fine then. the slots are pretty wide so the extra fabric wrapping shouldn't be an issue. I'll get a set sometime and see.

the tail pieces start out flat. Then I have to bend them at the correct angle and placement to work with the individual guitar. Also, depending on the jack, I may have to widen the hole.

so, I'm not opposed to selling them individually…. but it would be difficult. I'd almost need your guitar in my shop in order to fit it properly.

if you're serious though we might be able to work something out if you could take some accurate measurements.

How about you build it and I buy it from you?

If the slots are wide, the strings should work.
But the strings are pretty expensive, I must warn you. They run about $38 at Amazon. The cheapest I've seen them is at Guitars 'n Jazz for $28.
