Squier CV 70s Jag owners - does your bridge look like this?

[The Dead Ranch Hands]

I've never gotten along with the Mustang bridge that came with my Squire 70s Jag. The E saddles seem way too low to me. For those of you who own one, does your bridge look like this?




I'm almost wondering if the previous owner swapped it out for a standard Mustang bridge? This does not seem to match the 9.5" radius on this guitar

A few people have confirmed that the current CV 60s JM has a 9.5" Mustang-style bridge. But I don't recall any verdict on the CVs 70s jag, which as you say also has a 9.5" neck. Both are made in Indonesia.

If you don't have a radius gauge to check yours, you can download a scaled PDF one from several sources eg ...

The 7,25" Japanese Fender Mustang-bridges also used to have their E/e-saddles too low compared to the rest for whatever reason. Pretty much all of them I think, and maybe they still do. I never saw a good explanation as to why but I remember having to shim mine to get the radius feeling right before the Staytrem came along.

But since there doesn't seem to be any good reason for it I can't imagine it's something they would have carried over when they started making 9,5" Mustang bridges. Still, looking at yours, they do look too low.

I had mine off within 30 minutes, but I'll dig it out and grab a photo of it. I'm pretty sure it was the same.

Thanks very much, I appreciate the help/info!

I tried to get the bridge profile as flat as I could. It's far from scientific, but judging by where your spring connects with the barrel, they're definitely not set as shallow as yours appears to be.

Either way, I was surprised at how solid it is. The saddles have no gap and it's got some heft to it. WAY better than some import Mustang bridges I've had over the years.

Thanks very much. As far as I can tell that's the same as mine. It is nice in that there are no gaps. But I'm betting this would work better on a vintage radius instrument.
