American Original/AV65 and the mastery

[alexpigment]

I agree with that. The ironic part is that for offsets we used to have a set of things we did to them to make them play optimally, then Fender went and made a bunch of changes on the various current production offsets, and now we have a new set of things we do to make them play optimally.

Personally, I would be interested to see them make a model with the trem moved forward and keep everything else vintage. I know for purists that this may sound like sacrilege, but it's actually the one change that I think has merit with no downsides (for me, at least).

Could be... I had always heard they were one degree, but I never measured it to know or anything. Fender doesn't talk about it much.

I reached out to Fender a while back and they confirmed the AmericanPro models had 1.4 degrees of angle. I am guessing the newer models of offsets are probably similar

I have a Mastery installed on my AO Jaguar with no shims, works a treat.
