I'd appreciate someone pointing me in the direction of some Fingertip parts. At the moment I'm looking for one tear drop knee lever, and associated parts. Also looking for White Fretboards. FOUND FRETBOARDS! Tom Bradshaw had them.
Need 2 Tailpieces. The 2 that came with the guitar are cracked at the screw hole locations. Again, any help is much appreciated.

Daymon; I may have a few things; but can't look until I get home from gigs out of town...maybe tomorrow.
Oh it's called a "Tailpiece" that goes around the pickup.
Also FYI ;some tailpieces had a wraparound piece added and some did not. But Fingertip Axle/Fingers did not mount into the tail piece like the next model "The Professional" and all models after that; it had it's own brackets the held the Axle/fingers.
Here's one Without the wraparound>
Here's one With wraparound bracket>
So what do you have and can you show/tell me where it cracked???(OH I SEE YOU JUST PUT A PICK UP>..thanks)
I'll look at all my boxes of stuff tomorrow.
Ricky

You can just put a screw in that cracked hole with a nice bright thin Washer(and do the other too to match) and that tail piece has nothing to do with the tuning stability...so your fine it' cracked...but to cover with washer make look much better.

Ricky, as always so very good to hear from you, my friend. I hope you're doing well.
Thank you for the advice on the tailpiece. I'm hoping to locate a couple. The washer idea is great advice but I'm certain it'll drive me crazy as I'm terribly OCD. I'll know it's cracked under there. lol
Let me know what you find in your war chest.
Thank you!!

| If you were close, my friend Mike could fix that right up. A little file and polish work afterwords, and nobody would know different! |

Just FYI, knee lever for the Fingertip are different than the later ones. On a Fingertip the cross shaft goes thru the knee lever at the pivot point and is activated with a set screw threaded into the cross shaft. So, there's a 5/16" hole in the knee lever for the cross shaft and the slot is wider for the set screw in addition to being cut with an additional slotted area so that the lever can move 90 degrees to case the guitar.
