Questions & Answers
Based on your description, I think you mean the edge of the fingerboard. Without seeing your guitar, I would be inclined to say no. In typical Jazzmaster or Jag design, the saddles of Graphtech guitars are set for one particular spacing. In fact, an original bridge allows you to do a lot more with spacing (with all the problems, of course. 1) It might be the guitarist itself that is causing the problem You might notice an issue with the neck, for example. Sometimes, on Fender type guitars, there's enough play in the neck joint that you can loosen the screws and tweak it one way or another. If you need help with your guitar, I recommend having a repairman look at it. I wish you the best of It is my hope that it will work
Not at all. It may be necessary to ground one brass saddle, or to add additional grounding wires if you still get additional noise.
As it's supposed to be 52, it is, but these gap around the saddles, so you can have some trouble with shifting the strings if you do a lot of bends or finger picking unless you use heavy gauge strings, which will keep the tension high and prevent this.
To the best of my knowledge, these saddles are a direct replacement for any Jaguar or Mustang style bridge. A set is currently fitted to my AVRI Jaguar, however, to be honest, I expect to replace the bridge entirely with a StayTrem or Mastery Even after installing these saddles, I still encounter problems with saddle buzz, despite the fact that they provide an affordable solution to some of the issues with the original bridge.

2) The width is incorrect for 1. 2. 1) The springs were of poor 1) My own product had crooked threads. I'm a guitar tech that spends the majority of my time with graphite-based guitars It has been an excellent year for technology products. Adding their materials to guitars is one of my favorite parts of my job. But my impression was that this one did not meet expectations and was not as described. It is not from graph- I looked for other options to replace it with There isn't anything that fits a traditional Mustang bridge, but rather a lot of tech. I am disappointed.
Having saddles that adjust to their own height instead of gradually lowering themselves is ideal when you don't want saddles that The new saddles are a little smaller than the original saddles, but they will remain in alignment with the strings in tension. While my guitar has the newer design where the tailpiece is closer to the bridge, these will also work well with the more vintage positioning (you might need a shim, however).
In addition to what others have said, the saddles on these aren't wide enough for the strings not to disturb each other when they move, which causes the strings to be out of alignment. They were played for two hours just to give them a chance, but the inconsistency in string spacing really stood out to me. A team is headed to your location soon. That's too bad because it did get better. I gave it 3 stars in place of 1 because they did improve the tone slightly.
The MIM TVL Jazzmaster seemed to work fine with it. My bridge covers (also from Amazon) turned out to be uglier than I imagined, so I was glad I had them. They installed effortlessly, and I appreciate that the saddle height can be adjusted individually. In the stock mustang bridge, the saddles are not adjustable, so if you plan to use flat wound strings, you will need to raise the action for the entire bridge. To adjust the height of these strings, all I need to do is adjust their height. Even so, jazzmasters are tetchy by nature, so being able to make their lives simpler is always appreciated.
I was having problems with my stock Jaguar saddles until I installed this. Strings no longer buzz as a result of adjusting the screws, and screws actually stay in place when adjustment is complete! I am very pleased with this.
This product shipped quickly and helped me with the string breaks and sustain I was having Also, it is a lot easier to bend, since you don't need to worry about jumping grooves, like with.
This worked better than what I had on my modified Jazzmaster, but the tremolo was slightly off. When bending the strings, the center from the bridge and the saddles look to pull to one side. This is due to the spacing between the GT saddles. In addition, the saddles are slick and nice to ride on. Anybody with a good setup might be able to get great results from this. This 52mm E to E spacing is a lot better than the stock spacing.
It may or may not be known to you, but in general guitars ground the electronics to the tremolo, and accordingly The player should make contact with the strings or the bridge so that the electronic hum disappears to some extent. As I mentioned, the Jaguar (and I would assume it is the same on the Jazzmaster) has a grounded bridge, but has a non-ground tremolo. As a result, the only way the player can ground the strings (in order to cancel the hum) is to ensure that they are directly in contact with the bridge. Saddles such as these do not have metals and therefore do not allow that Using wire from the control knob plate to the tremolo, I was able to solve the problem, but this solution is ugly and temporary, and I will replace these saddles as soon as possible.
