I try not to post too much of my stuff here, But I thought this would interest some of the Vintage Freaks like myself.
As you know, the Wraparound Archtop Tailpiece isn't something that is easy to come by. I really wanted one on this guitar, so I decided to make one & add a little of my own flare. I can post more pictures when I get it finished up. Here it is in the rough.

one word, beautiful!

and if you look closely, you can see the tailpiece look likes big smile with mustache

Or the front of a Studebaker

Looks really nice! You should post way more photos of your stuff.

I like this setup on my LP:

That's really cool! Those Trapeze-style tailpieces look great with the Florentine guitars.

Setzer, That's a Wicked LP! & the type of tailpiece I was trying to emulate. &, of course, it will have a P90

Jack, Thanks! I'll post more pics when I get it finished.

definitely more pix.

Looks cool in that configuration. It mirrors the florentine. Reminds of the Schroeder stopbar too.

Ha! I either haven't seen that tailpiece or it was buried in my subconscious memory somewhere. I'll post more pictures when I pull it apart. Bridge actually is shaped a little more like the front of a boat(don't know if that's a good description, but it's pretty close). I will pull it apart next week after I get the threads cut to length. I need to get it off to powdercoat, this & the other guitar will start into paint next week.

Looks good, got that hole ES-295 thing going, with Gretschy f holes.

Yeah, That's kinda my style...Merging things that look good while adding a little spice.

I finished up early today & decided to take a trip into Burlington to get some things taken care of, Including the tailpiece Powdercoated. I fully expected to come back for it in a week, but the guy said "Come Back in an hour" I love Vermont people! Here are a couple shots of it now.

So, a little bit further down the road. The Salmon Top is the same guitar as above. The two tone green I have posted in another thread. This week has be dedicated to getting the paint to this point. For some reason, must be the weather, I had to change my mixture to get the paint to flow properly from the gun. But anyway, vintage car colors on guitars always get me going! Hope you like.

Love the looks of the green one, I must have missed that thread? What is it or did you make it?

It was the "what pickups would you put in this" thread. Yes, I make them. www.bluebellyguitars.com The green turned out pretty cool, I thought. Can't wait to get all the bits on it.

Cool, it's a beauty!

Sweet! Looking good.

Thanks! Setzer, someone said you make pickup covers? This correct? You have a website?
