*NOTE – CHECK WIDTH of STUD NECK POST:
Measure the neck width of your studs, they should be NO wider than 0.265 inches, if they are wider than 0.265 inches you will need to purchase different tailpiece mounting studs, likely METRIC studs. Gibson Memphis reissues and Gibson reissues sometimes have wider neck posts, measure to be sure. (*The TOWNER Down Tension Bar is designed to fit the neck width of stock GIBSON Guitar stud posts.)
