Mine should arrive any day now, but I’m not sure which guitar to put it on.

- Squire Bass VI with Mastery bridge and stock trem
- JM baritone with matching black Mastery bridge and trem
- ‘65 AVRI with bridge and trem from an AmPro
- 1972 JM with Staytrem and stock trem
- Modern Player Jaguar with AOM bridge and tailpiece

I also have a Descendant bridge and trem that’s gonna go into something. I’m leaning toward putting this onto the vintage JM and the Descendant set onto the AVRI.

Ooh, the baritone!!!

The string slots are 1.5mm wide - hope that's ok for the Bass VI! I have vague plans to do a wide-slot outer saddle for use on VI, but haven't got there just yet.

Can't wait for you guys to get your bridges!! Last worldwide orders are shipping out today - thank you all so much for your patience and support, I just hope you love the Tuffset!

Cheers

Imma put mine on my Squier Bass Vi, which is currently outfitted with a 55mm Staytrem. I'll let you know!

Perfect!

If it's a complete disaster, I'll happily send you out an early sample / prototype of the wideboy saddle when I get those in!

That's usually what happens when it goes from one carrier to the next, shouldn't be anything to worry about!

Every tracking system codes things differently and I have FedEx-induced anxiety because they can't seem to handle domestic packages. My wife makes fun of me for my tracking obsessions. LOL

Mine looks like that as well.

I have some experiences with Heathrow. My dad picked up a guitar I bought in London last year to bring to Sweden in order to avoid import duties and whatnot. I sent a hardcase with him and some extra stuffing. Anyway he checked it in and after landing in Stockholm he found out it was left in London. The airline brought it to me with a carrier the day after - BUT - all the latches but one was open. It was held together by a belt my dad had put around it...

Lol - Yeah. I think this is teh step where they take a bunch of the smaller packages and get them into containers for transport into the US. I think teh next step will be something like: "Transferred to US Customs. NYC" and then to the us carrier.

In my experience - there will be a huge gap after customs and by the time it gets updated.... You will see it on tour doorstep. Not sure if thats the interface with USPS or UP or what. DHL is the only tracking system that is right on top of it usually.

GilmourD,
Haha, I was going to post mine. It looks identical to yours. They apparently were received at Evri 4 times over 4 days. Weird.
Hopefully they will show up soon.
