You're both operating in the land of "standard" string sets, for which Mastery works fine. I like the option of flexibility to use whatever strings i choose.
Which is fine, but I did directly address that above, when I said I would rather have a bridge that does what I want it to do excellently rather than a bridge that offers a lot of features that I don't need and don't want and which compromise the use of it.
I mean, I started playing the Jazzmaster when there was no other bridge, you couldn't even find Mustang bridges. I dealt with it, but it was a constant hassle, and I never got any benefit from it. All the stuff that was supposed to be innovative, like setting the saddle height to other than the neck radius, to having custom string spacing not to mention the rocking back and forth... none of that did anything for me except to require me having to address the problems all that created constantly.
And then one day there was the Mastery, which directly addressed everything I didn't like and did it well.
I would imagine that people that use the string gauges that run from .009 to .011 probably account for over 90% of electric guitar players, so they will absolutely be served by the Mastery bridge.
Why would I want to buy a bridge that accommodates what you do on the guitar instead of the one that best works for me?
Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.
