If it's the Wilkinson wraparound tailpiece, I think I have one at home. If it is the one you're looking for, you can have it. I'll get back to you tonight.

If it's an Eclipse guitar you are looking for, mine has the wilkinson wraparound and I may be selling to fund an acquisition. I will know by the end of this week.

You're giving away a guitar!? I'll take it if he passes. :(

Anyone have or know of a stoptail USA eclipse that's for sale??

I don't recall seeing may of those. Mainly had wraparounds.

My girlfriend bought mine for me so even if I didn't like it I wouldn't dare sell it :(

...and I don't think I've seen more than one or two others with the TOM/Stop tail combo.

I had one a couple of years ago (sold) that was a '97 model in Candy Apple Green (or whatever metallic Green color Hamer was using), TOM/Stoptail bridge, AND three SD Firebird pickups. I think that the control that would normally be the tone control (I could be wrong, it could've been the volume control, but it was definitely a two-knob Eclipse) was actually a 'blend' control for the middle pickup, the three way pickup switch acted the way it does on other Eclipses otherwise. I've seen a few TOM/Stoptail combo Eclipses (3-pickup, too, also done with Wilkinson wraparounds) from that time frame, I wonder if Hamer was doing a little experimenting before they left Arlington Heights? Or just getting creative with stock they'd have to tote to the East coast otherwise?
