Hi Tubenetters,
I have recently read that there are multiple versions of this mouthpiece. I have one but I am not sure which version it is. I bought it new from Floyd approx. 3 years ago if that helps. I love using it on my Gronitz F.
What are the differences between the designs?
Thanks for any info you guys can provide!

Re: Cooley Helleberg
The difference in yours and the FC2 (an older model, which seems to be the most popular) is the throat in the new ones is a bit narrower. You should be able to take a new one and have it drilled to the size of the older ones...provided you can find that measurement (which I do not have). Hope this helps!

Re: Cooley Helleberg
My understanding is there are only a handful of Cooley 2 Hellebergs out there. But yes the throat size is ever so slightly larger.Nachdiddlyacho wrote:The difference in yours and the FC2 (an older model, which seems to be the most popular) is the throat in the new ones is a bit narrower.
