I'm trying to decide on a replacement tailpiece. Allen alone has six styles. Is it all a matter of cosmetics or are some easier to change strings than others. I've been beating up this Gibson A-1 for years now and have lost the tailpiece cover; it goes out of tune all the time; I break strings all the time. I think it's time to realize that I'm going to play this thing forever and I don't need to keep it original - I need the thing to be dependable to withstand the gigs - and if it means a replacement bridge and tuning machines I'll do it.
