WTB Bridge parts needed for a S300D restoration

[julesbluemonday]

I am trying to find tail piece and bridge for my S300D. Someone removed the original bridge and installed a floyd rose. If anyone has any of these parts laying around, please contact me. Also interested in thunderbird tail piece and bridge. Thank you

Hello julesbluemonday,

Welcome! May be able to help you out, but I'm located in the Netherlands and I do not know where you're at. I will send you a private message and we'll take it from there.

Sincerely,

So my attempt to find a bridge and tail piece has come up empty. I did find someone in Connecticut who had more than one and all the hardware. The price was too high but I would have paid if my guild wasn't so badly damaged. So custom route is where I am going. I did find and bought a hagstrom NOS tail piece. I am trying to determine what bridge I should go with the hagstrom tail. Anyone have any good ideas? Thanks.

Not sure what this is they sell but it is rounded and not as sharp edged as on the S-300 (left picture from GAD).
I almost doubt that is a Guild tailpiece so I would ask the distance of the two mounting holes at least.
Also note that the countersunk holes on top look larger than on the S-300 tailpiece.

I contacted Hans and he is sending me a bridge while I am in Germany. Since my guitar was mutilated, I am not going with the original tail piece. I have a guild with the hagsrtom tail piece I got off ebay maybe ten years ago and just like the look. Here is a couple pics. I think I am going to cover the scar with a custom pick guard of some sort, just don't know.

Received nos hagstrom tail piece back home, my wife took pics, never installed in a guitar but with no hardware, says made in Sweden. In Germany at the moment waiting for Hans Bridge and hardware. Things are looking good. Thanks for this community, glad I found it.

Hans is the man, received bridge, looks NOS, can't wait to get my first guild playing again
