alpeperker · Post by **alpeperker** » Tue Feb 02, 2010 11:28 am

i havde a jazzmaster (jap) which has the horrible adjust-o-matic bridge.and i wonder if i could exchange it with a mustang bridge.
is this possible to do?

I'd opt for a loverly roller bridge. Find one that fits.

you will have to route it out for the springs if you go with a mustang bridge

What's wrong with the adjust-o-matic?

When people say Mustang bridge they mean this bit

You're thinking of the tailpiece which is just this bit.

It's a little confusing because people will call the combined setup a bridge, but when talking about replacig a Jag/Jazz bridge with a Mustang one, they mean just the bridge and not the tailpiece.

You'll probably find those roller TOMs in a radius to match your neck too. If the AOM is the same as Jap jag HH then it's 9.5. Mustang bridge will be 7.25". Also make sure you get one in metric measurement a la most eastern imports.

I WOULD DO THIS. HE DOESN'T OFFER THIS TO EVERYONE AND IS A LIMITED TIME OFFER.

also, if your TOM is cutting your strangs, maybe look at filing the slots down a scoche? I <3 my roller bridge from GFS. will be replacing on my LP soon, but i don't like TOM's on trem's anyhow.

good luck.
