He recorded the first Piper album on this. I kinda see why he had the tailpiece on the Standard positioned that way. He was used to it on his 335. Using his palm to tremolo the strings. Yeah, I understood what he was saying, but replace "are" with "and" and you're still a long ways from "perfect sense." At least he didn't commit Apostrophe Abuse or evoke a Harvard comma when it wasn't needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HamStd Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I remember when Ted Nugent put down his byrdland as started using the 2nd Gen Howard Roberts Fusion guitar (that had F-holes) he also did the same to move the tailpiece further back to do the palm bending of the strings.

79Sunburst Posted December 26, 2020 Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 I like the look of the middle humbucker. Does anyone have any ideas how to make and mount a dummy middle humbucker just for looks and a way to mount it with an adhesive that won't affect the finish? I'm thinking a fake hiumbucker without copper wraps where the bobbins only show. It would be very light that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

79Sunburst Posted December 26, 2020 Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 I got it. Take a piece of black styrofoam cut to fit inside a mounting ring. Remove the bobbins from a cheap cream DiMarzio style pickup and mount or glue them to the styro. Place clear thin double sided tape strips around the base of the ring and slap it on. Happy fake humbucking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to Sweeney Todd (Nick Gilder). Canada had some good bands in the 70s. You're saying the Canada thing for Sweeny Todd, right? Piper was from New England.
