Members loosegroove Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 If you get a Mustang bridge, you should be all good. It fit's easily and keeps the strings in place much better than the stock JM bridge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members angus_old Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 i think it's the nashville tuneomatic that just drops in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dysorexia Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 If you get a Mustang bridge, you should be all good. It fit's easily and keeps the strings in place much better than the stock JM bridge... yup. I know a local guy that puts Mustang bridges on both of his JMs. Seems to give a great improvement in sustain and the strings rarely go out of tune.

Members Ultradust Posted February 7, 2007 Members Share Posted February 7, 2007 I've got the Gotoh one (and love it), and it does go in pretty far. A job done by long before it fell into my hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members spaceshot Posted February 7, 2007 Members Share Posted February 7, 2007 I use mustang bridges but if you want to use tuneomatics- I have done this with both gotoh and gibson, put the studs(the threaded receptacle the adjusting rods thread into) into the chuck of a drill. Secure a nice metal file in a vice and proceed to gring said studs into slight cones that will fit inside Fender Jazzmasters "receptacles" a tight fit will aid in non trem stabilization, "cone" them out if you want the true rock back and forth with the tailpiece the Jmaster was designed for. If you like high action you're good to go, I never found it affected chording or intonation, than again I like high action, you can grind down outside saddles to better match radius of fender neck.
