Acquired a new JM with a busted bridge, looking for a replacement. Ideally a staytrem, has to be the 9.5 radius.

    Have you tried

    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    If you deal with him direct or through reverb he’ll do them slightly cheaper.

    looking at those they are modded stock bridges arent they?
    You will still get falling post issues and possible return to pitch issues. 
    For the extra tenner i'd go staytrem personally

    Not sure tbh. I’ve got Staytrem’s on my jag and JM at the moment and consider them a huge improvement on the stock bridges. However, I have ordered one of these to try -purely out of being inquisitive rather than it being necessary or required.

    I’ll definitely feedback.

    I quite like the brass saddles (having mainly played teles for years). My mainconcern is the holes that guide the strings, in my mind that’s an extra pressure point and likely to lead to breakage. Maybe it’ll work, maybe it won’t, I’ll be sure to let you know.

    thanks @meltedbuzzbox @Teyeplayer ;

    I have a staytrem on my other JM which I bought from the guy's eBay store (sold out at the moment on there). I didn't realise there was a specific shop online for them. 

    Interested to hear about that other bridge...
