Little gear heads guitarist

Ethan a friend of our son in eight grade received a epiphone Les Paul tribute plus from Santa. So Ethan and our son we’re FaceTime jamming yesterday and my son said dad Ethan’s coming over tomorrow. Dad Ethan wants to talk to you so I get the phone and I get asked hey can you replace the tail piece and bridge on this epi so I went in and found in parts boxes a aluminum tail piece and post and Nashville bridge years ago I bought tons of gear at local music store that was going under.

Besides just swapping these out I was reading on the epi tribute plus long tenon carved top real maple cap gibby 57 humbuckers split ,Not a bad deal for a 14 year old rocker.
