Jazzmaster Mastery Bridge Adjustment .... Quick Question (?)

Post by benifin » Wed May 04, 2022 11:51 pm

Hi all !

My Jazzmaster has a Mastery Bridge .... all good ..... all I would like to do is to slightly raise the action of the Low E A and D.

I presume the only way to do this is via the Saddle Scrub Screws (?) as I believe loosening the Posts wont affect the overall bridge height (?)

Am I on the right track with this ? -or- can it also be done by adjusting the Posts (?)

Thanks,
Ben

Best way would be to raise the saddle of those strings, yes. Undoing the posts wouldn't do anything, but the bridge post grub screw (located inside the post) could also work, but as the posts are tight in the thimbles I think adjusting them means raising the entire bridge.
Just adjust the saddle, nice and easy, and then intonate.
