Gibson 335 tailpiece
I have raised the tailpiece on my 335 by installing grub screws beneath the studs,the break angle of the strings is similar to the headstock, the tone is now fuller, more resonant and easier to bend strings, I can highly recommend this,I also have the locking Tonepros,so everything is well connected, definitely worth experimenting with different heights

Thats the reason people do the top wrap, that and the fact it looks cool
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Re: Gibson 335 tailpiece
I agree about the wrap around tail piece, The US SAE 5/16-24 grub screws I purchased in NZ. The tail piece post screws were then screwed hard against the grub screws.
