I used to have a GFS roller bridge on my Mascis Jazzmaster. Honestly, I don't remember exactly which one it was, they have two types (Wilkinson and another one). The radius theoretically doesn't fit the fretboard radius, but I was quite okay with that. I switched to the Staytrem in the end, which looks more 'right', has the 9.5 inch radius, and sounds different, even acoustically. The roller bridge gave the guitar more sustain, I think.NelsonP wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2020 7:42 amWhat is regarded as the best drop in, replacement roller bridge for the Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster?
I don't want to modify bridge posts etc and am not interested in Mastery (too expensive) or Staytrem (no longer available)
...but everything else is fair game.
I had one too, the bigger, blockier style. I concur with the "more sustain" conclusion. It sounded fantastic.caliban wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 4:17 amI used to have a GFS roller bridge on my Mascis Jazzmaster.

In my case, the mojo level of the Staytrem won. It does sound good, but not as sustainy.mackerelmint wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 4:24 amI had one too, the bigger, blockier style.

• Added Kinman Surfmasters pickups
• Custom brass Compton bridge
• Gotoh locking gold tuners
• Gold aftermarket tremolo plate and arm (still need a gold arm with white tip)
• Gold roller string tree
• Custom fit and slotted bone nut
• Gold dome knobs
• Swapped anodized pickguard for a bright red pearloid
• All gold hardware screws except for the rhythm control plate, which I havent been able to find in gold for a reasonable price
Only things left I'd like to do is find those gold rhythm circuit screws, and I'd love to get the headstock painted to match the body as I've seen a few on here have.
