Up for grabs is ONE pair of very clean (rarely used / rarely handled) Gibson BLACK GLOSS Finish STUDS (mounting pieces) and Black Finish ANCHORS (inserts) late 1990s - early 2000s (specifically from 2000), for PTTP BLACK GLOSS Finish Stop Bar Tail piece (Stop Bar Tailpiece NOT included).
The threads are USA / Imperial -- SAE 5/16 - 24
I don't t mind breaking the STUDS & ANCHORS Set and only sell what you need:
- Please make an offer with a message - if necessary you can message.
- $15 for the pair of STUDS
- $5 for the pair of ANCHORS
Since a little bit of the black finish was rubbed off of the Threaded Area of each STUD - I touch up the Threaded Areas with black marker.
Also - since a little bit of the black finish rubbed off of the Vertial Ridges of each ANCHOR - I touched up the Vertial Ridges with black marker.
Also to better show how the studs & anchors look like - some of the pictures were taken in a lower light. In these pictures - the Black Gloss Finish on the STUDS and the Black Finish on the Anchors look duller / different than they look like in person.

This color / type of finish is not a finish on Gibson hardware that Gibson sells for retail (like music in / for stores or on their website). Therefore I do not have a specific number. It's a finish that is for the hardware that Gibson (or the hardware / guitar parts company that Gibson souces their hardware parts from) makes for certain year - model guitars / basses that Gibson manufactures. In this case - a 2000 Gibson Les Paul Gothic electic guitar (guitar NOT included).
- FYI - the Gibson Gothic Series was produce from 1998 to 2003.
In case you're wondering - I do NOT have the BLACK GLOSS finish Tailpiece (Stop Bar). I sold it several years ago.
The STUDS & ANCHORS were originally on a 2000 Gibson LP Gothic - that I got new back in 2000. (NOTE: this model guitar came stock with the the BLACK GLOSS Finish tailpiece, bridge, and tuners). A few months after I got that guitar - I switches the tail piece + assembly (even the Anchors), the bridge + assembly, and the tuners to Chrome Finish parts. And for a couple of years - I carefully stored the black finish parts in baggies in a box in a closet.
I NO longer have the LP Gothic. Several years ago- I sold it with the chrome hardware it
- ONLY the Black Gloss Finish Studs & Black Finish Anchors are for sale in the listing.
I sold the Black Gloss Stop Bar (Tailpiece) by itself and the Black Gloss Nashville Bridge (with the mounting pieces) several years ago. There was NO imprint(s) or marking(s) on them - so I don't know where Gibson sourced these parts from.
Anyway - now I am thinning out some of my other guiatr parts. And while looking for things to sell on REVERB - I came across these STUDS / ANCHORS in a box with other guitar parts. Only the Black Gloss Finish STUDS (mounting pieces) and Black finish ANCHORS (inserts) are for sale in this listing.

I know that the Black Gloss Finish Gibson hardware parts kind of rare.
And since they are very clean they might be what you are looking for for you current or next guitar project..

I took several picture sof the STUDS and a couple of the ANCHORS. Feel free to ask for more picutres.
NOTE: There may be a a few minor imperfections that I overlooked. There may be a few very minor imperfections that can be seen in person that do not appear in the pictures. Also - there are (or may be) some glares, reflections, cloudiness that show up in the pictures that aren't visible in person.
