I recently put a James tailpiece on my MT2--not hard to do, but I didn't realize that Collings glues in their endpins!

How did you remove the endpin? Was the James tailpiece and exact fit in terms of the screw holes lining up?

I learned that the endpin was glued in when I researched after breaking it off! I had to drill out what was left. The James tp screw holes lined up prefectly. The endpin hole in the James tp was elongated to accomodate slighty different endpin locations.

IMO and experience, the James tailpiece is much more easy to string. It doesn't have the sharp edge of the Collings tailpiece where some of our hands come to rest. As good as the Collings tailpiece looks engraved. The James has more real estate for engraving and Weldon Lister has done a bunch of very tasteful ones.
Here's the one he did for my Ellis A Deluxe.
