The patented LX2 tailpiece, designed by Jeff Babicz, offers unmatched string stability due to the “twin locking” feature. Unlike traditional tailpieces which are only held in place by string tension, the LX2 offers unidirectional locking; vertically and laterally. The combined twin locking forces offer the most stable tailpiece found today, and is a drop in fit upgrade for guitars which use Tune-O-Matic/Tailpiece combo. The lightweight LX2 tailpiece is designed with only the highest quality, sonically pure milled billet aluminum, and is available in chrome, black, and gold finishes. Ships world wide.

How it works
There are two main facets to the Babicz twin locking tailpiece invention:
1. Lateral Locking Screws: Once tightened, the two screws make firm contact with the lateral locking slugs, which firmly hold the tailpiece to the mounting studs in a lateral direction.
2. Vertical Locking Nuts: Two stud nuts that, when adjusted upward with the provided wrench, hold the tailpiece stable in the vertical direction.

“This new design was born out of my vision of creating a tailpiece with more stability, along with ease of adjustment. Any stability added to the bridge/tailpiece components always help with sonic purity and tuning stability. The LX2 unidirectional locking forces create the most stable, rock solid tailpiece on the market today.”
