Vintage (1959/1960) Jazzmaster string tree material ?
I need to know what is the material of the ring base of the string tree of 1959/1960 Jazzmasters : is it some kind of white plastic like on MIJ Jazzys or is it metal as on the AVRIs ? I can't find the info...

Can't you just use acrylic?

my 62 has a metal spacer ring - the plastic ones came with the CBS era in the 70's IIRC.
Someone knows where I can find the nearest woodchipper to throw my pieces of junk into?

Steel... Also, there is a difference between the '58-'63 string trees and the later ones.
The later & current ones have a dip in the center on both sides so the strings only touch a small area. This helps them from getting caught a bit more.
The 58-63 trees do not have the dip.
