Need to have a tailpiece punched. Anyone have contact information for someone who might be able to do this?
Last post on this that I could find was from 7 years ago, so figured I would see if anyone had a recommendation before I try to find contact info for folks who may no longer be in the business. Thanks!

The guy you need is Jerry Keys, from Gray Tennessee.
You really don't have to punch 'em......just run the G / third string underneath the tailpiece

Sometimes a solution is so simple and elegant you just can't see it. Thanks for this.
I just made a dimple with a punch and drilled it at my drill press. I just put a little block of wood under it.
Then I used a small round file to take the edge off and give a little slant. That made it a little oval shape.
Lastly I used the Triangular file to make a tiny notch in the dead center of the front lip bottom.
I hide mine just under the flip top so it still looks like a tenor. 26 grover presto.
Jerry Keys is the man. 30 bucks plus 10 shipping back your way
