Just got this lovely testimonial via email (with pics!) and thought I'd share it here!
The question now is whether it goes on the old silver JM or the newer old white Blaster...
But either way I'm 99% sure I'll have a Mastery going spare very shortly..!
Hey dude! Did it arrive yet?
(Entirely my own fault and not Tuffset's shippers - it arrived in the UK quickly but I'm in Abu Dhabi so use a forwarding service to bring stuff here. It's those guys being slow. I think they still have some backlog after the floods)
It went from being a "case queen" of sorts that I'd get out occasionally, sit and strum and look at, to being my everyday "pick up and play". Each time I'd walk past it I was at a serious risk of losing hours of my day!
Made me realise how many little niggles and issues I'd been playing "around" before, and they were all adding friction to the experience of ownership. With the Tuffset, I knew when I picked it up it would be locked in - no posts to raise up, not rattles to diagnose, no strings to reposition! Just to pick up a Jazzmaster and *know* it's got the goods and you can depend upon it was the biggest revelation for me!
Can't wait for you to try it!!

And heckin good packaging & instructions too - no straw in sight!! Though if I have to pick *anything* that could be improved a cardboard insert instead of foam feels more "eco" (though this may be biodegradable foam in which I stand corrected and even more impressed!)
I was originally going to do a cardboard insert (I was a packaging designer in a previous life) but with international shipping being so important, we wanted to be really sure of protecting the product in transit. It also has two points on the bottom of it and we were conscious any up/down movement could damage the tool bag and manual - but I think we will look into biodegradable alternatives in future.
The case is certainly reusable to store your old bridge, though. I have a couple of vintage Jazzmasters that have Tuffsets in them, and I designed the product box to be *just* shallow enough to fit inside a vintage case. So you can put your vintage / original bridge in there and keep it close to the guitar, and that way the adjustment tools and manual are handy if you should need to use them.
Cheers!

I mean, it would be absolutely amazing to have more pics of this guitar and of other guitars, but don't feel like you have to!!
It's such a surreal honour to have imagined these things into the world, screwed them together and posted them off and now they're in people's guitars being enjoyed! I really can't put a price on it. Thank you, all of you, for putting your faith in us and allowing this all to happen. It's a dream!

Hi Fretboarders! Took some photos to test the new lighting setup last week and thought I'd share them here. We have Wave 3 coming soon, so Tuffset bridges will be back in stock and ready to order in early-mid October. Brass saddles also coming at the same time!
We're currently prototyping the Tune-O-Matic version that will fit anything with M8 thimbles (Nashville-style body inserts) - loads of Gibsons, Epiphones, Gretsches, Electromatics and (of course) the Fender Jaguars and Jazzmasters that came from the factory with AOM bridges (JMJM, Classic Player Jag, etc).
Join the Wave 3 list to be notified when they return - cheers!

The Tuffset is quite a bit brighter, which may or may not be a good thing depending on other factors at play on any given instrument.
