What is the E to e string spacing on the RSD bridge? Is it vintage wide (2 & 7/32 inches), or modern narrow (2 & 1/8 inches)? Looks like an awesome bridge in any case!

I am traveling for a few days, I’ll measure the string spacing and make more photos when I get back

I think that RSD bridge looks great, melds into the whole offset design very well.
Wish they would release it to us mere mortals.

Really don't like relics, but agree the Journeyman finish is the best they have done. I wish there was more selection in the NOS finishes, but I'm glad there are more of these light relics nowadays versus the dragged behind a truck look. This thing is a beauty.

Very nice! What are the chances of finding one of those bridges second hand?

Dream Jazzmaster right there. New bridge is intriguing to say the least. HNGD!

Awesome. After you've played that RDS for a bit, what do you think?

I love this bridge. It requires no maintenance, does not rattle, and it resonates well.
The only thing I noticed is that the action is somewhat high after the 12th fret. The bridge is quite low, so I was thinking of shimming the neck (it appears to have no shim at all).

Re: NGD: Custom Shop Jazzmaster 62 Journeyman
The 1st part sounds awesome! You can't get the bridge any lower without a shim? I would hate to have to do that to one of my guitars. For some reason the thought of using a shim makes me wanna . I could be totally off base with that though...

Re: NGD: Custom Shop Jazzmaster 62 Journeyman
Nah, nothing to worry about, it can help your guitar both play and sound better. The only thing I would recommend is that you get a full pocket shim from Stew-Mac, it'll cost a bit, but it'll be better than any solution you'll otherwise find (unless you can make your own full pocket shim).
Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.
