Recieved yesterday the mustang i was waiting for from the states. Olympic white 65ri, looks great, will play it tonite.
Anyway, the owner flipped the tailpiece so u can string faster and supposedly maintain tuning.

Is there any reason i should flip back to the way it was? The angle of the strings is surely smaller now but sustain doesnt look that bad, and i can live without the tremolo as well.

Any advice, suggestions from your experience very welcome

I'd stick it back personally, i flipped and bolted down the tailpiece on my first mustang when i was waiting on new trem springs and it was pretty balls. Break angle was too shallow and it didn't sound as good. Try it both ways though, it's easily reversible.
