The best way to deal with that R tailpiece is to sell it to some sucker, and if you want to have a vibrato, Winfield Vintage has the solution:

Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.

I really like the look of the R tailpiece, it's kinda iconic. It's a shame no one has thought to make an aftermarket vibrato based around that design.
We'll see. I'm getting more used to living without one anyway the more I play my Tele and my Guild.
Silly Rabbit, don't you know scooped mids are for kids?

Sounds like you need a vibRato

I hated the Winfield vibrato: the strap peg needs to be redrilled for the right angle, the vibrato just felt fragile, I was always worried that I'd put the sharp trem arm tip through my palm, etc. so I took it off within weeks of putting it on (but I'm not a big vibrato user at all).
It's impossible to get new R tailpieces so, as Larry said, tempting to just flip it for the cash. Put the flag sticker from the pickguard on there for extra Rickensilliness.

Sounds great. Someday I’ll have one in Jetglo. It’s definitely a bucket lister.
