Complete replacement for Rickenbacker Accent vibrato

The Rickenbacker Accent vibrato seems to be a hot commodity these days.  You can't buy one for love or money.

Well, we don't want your love, but we will take your money.  Because we've now got a complete replacement for the Accent tailpiece.

Our vibrato is designed to vintage specs (and is interchangeable with either new or old units), but engineered to be stronger than the originals:
- Our comb uses a solid steel pivot instead of the weaker brass pivot on the old pieces. Then, we micro-weld it into place. It's not breaking, it's not popping out.
- Our springs are also made to vintage specs: they're flatter than the current springs, giving you a better break angle across the bridge saddles. And again, they've been re-engineered to be stronger than the originals.
- Our arms are also like the old ones: longer, and with a more rounded tip. And -- again -- they're stronger: we use a steel rather than brass ring.

And don't forget: we also offer a full range of replacement parts for the Accent vibrato: tailpiece, spring, comb, arm, and screw.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are installing the vibrato on a guitar fitted with an R or trapeze tailpiece, you will want to substitute an adapter tailpiece for the standard tailpiece.  It's a free substitution, but you must let us know (send us a message after you order).  Not sure which tailpiece you need? If your guitar had an Accent installed, you want the standard tailpiece.  If your guitar had an R or trapeze installed, you want the adapter tailpiece.  Don't have a Rickenbacker?   If the distance from the top of the guitar body to the center of the strap bolt hole is greater than 9/16", you want the standard tailpiece.  If it's 9/16" or less, you want the R adapter.
