That is interesting, Charles! And if you’ve never seen it, I know it’s rare! Dan
I have one of those too! It came on a 2000 A5 I recently purchased. I don't think it was original...I believe the previous owner got it from Don. I've since replaced it with a James (they seem a little heftier to me).

I don't believe I've ever seen one of those either. I wonder who made them?

Both my Red Diamonds that are recently built have that tail piece maybe its the new norm ?
Best.....
Red Diamond July 9 F and a pretty nice Gilchrist F
I believe it's a "Price" made tailpiece

I had a Red Diamond with that tailpiece, it worked well - but not as good as a James.
I think all the vintage models have that tailpiece. I had a July 9 voiced A5 with that tailpiece.
