Warmoth Mustang With TOM Bridge Angle

[Beebe]

Does anyone know if the Warmoth Mustang with Mustang Tremolo and Tune-o-matic bridge has the bridge straight (parallel to the frets like it appears to be on the Thurston Moore Jazzmaster) or angled (like on a Les Paul)?

The TOM option on the Warmoth Mustang forces them to cut an angled neck pocket because the TOM creates an angle.

I may not have been clear. I was talking about the top bridge post being further back than the bottom bridge post. If it would intonate correctly, I think having the TOM posts in line straight up and down would look a lot better on the Mustang than angled ones. And I'm not sure how they do it.

Even Gibson angles their ToMs, because on most of them the intonation range is pretty small to guarantee it's gonna work well with most setups. If you're going with a Mustang trem though, they can't really have them at an angle because of the trem baseplate having holes that are in line, right?

That's what I'm hoping. The Cobain Mustang has the TOM posts offset though, so they may expect you to use a trem plate other than the one they offer if you choose the TOM option. I sent them an email with the question, but they sometimes take awhile to get back.

That is a previously sold body that says it a Mustang tremolo with TOM bridge. The routes seem to be parallel so you should be good.
