Catain Ibanez,
I have a 1982 AR305AV Artist. The screws holding down the Quick-Change tailpiece are not in the best condition. There are two nuts that lock the height-adjusting screws that may not be original, certainly there is no gold plating on them. One of the height-adjusting screws has part-sheared through the slot.
Do you have any spares lurking in your box of tricks? Or failing that, do you have any drawings of the parts so that I could get a set turned-up by a friend of mine who owns a lathe.
On another issue, a previous owner (probably the same guy who sheared the adjusting screw) has scratched the top. It looks like a screwdriver slipped and dug into the finish next to the bridge. How can I repair this? There is also a chip along the edge that goes down to the bare wood. I can live with these, but the guitar is otherwise in such excellent condition that I would prefer to repair the damage.
I'm in Perth, Western Australia. |

I have a complete new set of anchor/height adjustment bolts/tail piece for AR's in factory packaging. The brand new gold finishing may not match the rest of the hardware if they are worn or tarnished though. |

Acetan,
You have mail...
The gold parts on my Artist are in pretty good condition. |

Acetan,
I received your picture of the tailpiece and ajdusting screws. I have identified it as a Quick-Change Mk 2 tailpiece. My Artist has the Quick-Change Mk1 which utilises a different mounting system.
Thanks for you efforts though, I really appreciate that.
So, Capt Ibanez, it's down to you now. Can you help me out? |
