Ventures II Tail Piece...

I read a few people asking what the in's and out's of the Ventures II tail piece were, so I dug out my spare and took some pictures.

Thanks for the pictures, Brian. It helps me get a better idea of what the vibrato is like. I wouldn't mind trying one out.

Thanks for sharing the pictures - I think they explain a lot about how this vibrato system works. What a brilliantly simply design.

Brian! Thank You! I kept asking Bob Shade questions about these and never got a reply back. Thanks for the pics, it means a lot to me. :D :D :D

Was this to a mosrite you owned, or was it a spare from the old factory????????
