stew mac parts swap

[Scotheath]

I'm sorry if this is too general a question but I have purchased a set of ELC pickups ( for my 2013 Les Paul standard, all chrome hardware ) that came with brushed/aged nickel covers, apparently chrome covers are hard to come buy in the 49.2mm spacing. So on stew mac what bridge and tail piece are interchangeably with the post spacing for the stop bar and bridge ? I'm pretty sure that the Nashville tune o matic is good with the bridge just not sure about the stop bar. I can get chrome covers from mojo but shipping is 12 bucks more than the 2 covers and for some reason I have a problem paying 36 bucks shipping for something like that. I'm sure I could ship 2 covers from AB Canada to Florida for like 5 bucks no way I'm paying 36 bucks. So in the end ill spend 150 bucks on parts and 20 bucks on shipping, I'm sure the nickel parts will look better anyways, right ? I might have a mental issue

Nickel always looks better, and is more original. StewMac.. you better order correctly or you'll pay return shipping and restocking fees. The stop bar should work fine.

I really don't know? Do you become violent? We don't call it an issue, you would have a mental problem. I do not like that company because they over charge. Tell know how many times you went to their sight. You are probably right as rain. Being screwed on shipping is common place after the last UPS strike. I had $34,000 bucks worth of medical supplies to go over seas. I was screwed big time.

This is "a" question??

Let the caffeine wear off and try again.

 

[Scotheath]

Which stop bar from stew Mac is the question ?

 

[Scotheath]

No I'm usually not violent

^ Yes.. and the same (but worse) applies to All Parts... who have gotten too big for their britches!!

 

[kevinpaul]

Not fancy but Guitar Fetish has that. I bought crap for cork lickers and they loved it. Mental illness is not funny unless you dealt with these crazy bastards like I have.

 

[Scotheath]

Ok so the caffeine has worn off. If you were gonna order a nickel tail piece for a 2013 les Paul standard from stew Mac that would drop or screw right into bushing that are in the guitar already which would you recommend ?

Why not from here?
Wouldn't shipping be cheaper?
(You'd also be getting the studs for the tail piece)

Thanks I didn't even think of long and mcquade. 65 bucks for a stop piece is criminal
What the hell is a cork licker ?? Never heard that before

Mojotone has quality pickup covers available in 49.2mm in nickel and chrome. The only time I order from StewMac is when I need a unique/speciality tool that I can't find anywhere else. I find that their generic parts aren't the best quality, that's why I order most of my parts from Mojotone. The prices are competitive and the quality is better.

phillie luthier supply has best parts, lowest (by far) prices. decent, fast shipping. stew mac is good for special tools and finishing products/tools. all parts is good for nothing, you might find an off the wall set of tuners there that you might need.
