Jag/jazzmaster bridges

Post by quyet »

I've got a project Jaguar going and need a new bridge. It came with a 56mm Mustang that's too wide - the high E is too close to the edge.

Any tips on sourcing a replacement other than guitarparts.co.nz? Shopping around. Is it easy to buy from ebay here in NZ? Feeling isolated.

I bought a modified Mustang bridge for my Jazzmaster off this guy, 9.5 radius and dropped right in. No problems at all since https://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Listi ... er=1227809

Doesn't seem to have any at the moment, cost from memory $25.

I bought a buzz stop from allparts some time ago. Sold my jag and still have it. FS if want to try. Otherwise good paper weight.

You may have better luck but I was never happy with the mustang bridge on my JM. Had constant issues with screws moving, rattling and detuning when using the trem.

Another vote for a mastery of its in budget.
