What did I buy?

Post by Larry Mal » Sat Aug 18, 2018 2:07 pm

What is this bridge? I'm not going to use it, but I bought it, and it's surprisingly of good quality:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mustang-Bridge ... 2749.l2649

The bridge posts are very snug in the thimbles, and the saddles are very tight together. It's an all around very good bridge for $20. Is this what they are using on the Professional Jazzmasters and such? I don't think so.

I don't know what it is. The thimbles are the wrong size to work with Mastery from what I can tell, so they won't work for my project. But It's still a nice bridge that I don't know anything about.

I'll probably sell it on, frankly, which would be easier if I knew what it was.

Would these thimbles fit in a US spec Jag body?

Honestly, I have no idea. They seem more narrow than the one actual Fender thimble that I have laying around here.

Good question! I'll check that also.

If there’s one thing I hate it’s jumping Stings.

I really like how eBay summarized the description. And I'm curious about the bridge.
Inferior, improperly made guitar parts The quality of this bridge is. superior to all Mustang bridges. These bridges are a step up in every way from Chinese counterparts. like it, send it back!
