    Most likely Nashville-style. Do a search if you want to know the difference be tween the ABR and the Nashville. This has been gone over many-a-time.

    Don't bother buying the tailpiece. Buy the locking studs, it's a better design. The locking tailpiece tends to angle up slightly when string tension is applied, but the studs hold everything level. The studs are cheaper too.

    TonePros used to have a disclaimer (they prolly still do) saying they only guarantee the studs will fit PRS, etc. Don't worry about it. The studs fit EVERYTHING. No one would buy the locking tails if they knew that.

    I know they do. People do a lot of silly things. You can pick up a set of locking studs for $30-$40 and a Gotoh aluminum tailpiece for another $30-$40 , therby saving yourself $30-$40 dollars over buying the TonePros.

    Paying $100 or more for a tailpiece is totally insane IMO.

    Your shopping in the wrong store bro! I sell the TonePros lightweight aluminum tailpiece for $75.00. Point well taken though. I wouldn't pay $100 for a tailpiece either
