New Bridge For Tele B5

Post by thatfenderguy » Sat Oct 27, 2018 10:05 am

So I’ve got a Telecaster with the B5 Bigsby and the Jazzmaster style bridge. I’m looking to replace the bridge it comes with with something more accommodating to the 12” radius neck. Can anyone recommend a drop in replacement?

Mastery? They make cool replacement plates for bigsby telecasters too.

How does the JM bridge not accommodate a 12" radius, it has height adjustment per saddle. What am I missing here?
Logic gates based on billiard-ball computer designs have also been made to operate using live soldier crabs of the species Mictyris guinotae in place of the billiard balls.

Right. I'm unaware of a practical neck radius that bridge can't handle in and of itself.
