I've read lots of positive comments about the James tailpiece and how much easier string changes are. I'm looking at an upgrade mandolin and an instrument having a James tailpiece would be a definite positive in my calculations. (I've had a few mandolins with removable tailpiece covers and I didn't like that style tailpiece at all.)
