Yes, those bridges were discontinued several years ago.

I’ve also had no problem installing a standard JM style bridge in adjust-o-matic thimbles by inserting some set screws. Gives the thimbles a bottom and the bridge can drop right in

Heres a pic of my heavily moded staytrem, Removed the Legs.. Dropped right on TOM posts.
This was the old type that had the plastic bushings, I replaced em with nuts.. Solid.

More pics of that guitar please!

OP, you can also do the M8 grub screw mod if you dont want to be bothered with removing legs.
Once you get it dialed in and the screw stable with loctite or whatever you intend to use, it works really well.

Both methods will get you worlds better playability than the TOM and they both take minutes to do.

I don't think I've seen anyone mention these bridges before as an option. But they seem like they would be a decent low budget solution for a Mascis bridge swap.

Cool idea having that switch plate where the strat jack used to be!

This is great. For that price I'm going to buy one and stick it in a box until I need it. It'll sit next to my still-in-the-package Toronado bridge.
I'm sure some Fender dealer in '64 looked at the new Duo-Sonic II and thought, "That's not a Duo-Sonic. That's a Mustang".
