Last night. Seems the "waiting list" thing is a thing of the past. And did the price go down? I searched but didn't find anything but the last large post where folks were looking at a group deal, or going in on one and sharing it Anything come of that? Any new user impressions since then? Will it work with the jag mute? Not that I have it installed now |

That's not a waiting list in my book... That's "processing and shipping" |

I ordered two recently. They arrived in less than a week. Well worth the investment BTW. I'm using them in two AVRI Jazzmasters. |

I've got one on order too...with any luck it will show up by tomorrow (I've heard of it recently taking less than a week for delivery) so I can get my guitar setup properly and try it out on Halloween. Hopefully it will be everything it's supposed to be (haven't read a negative review yet) and will be the final piece to make my guitar the perfect Jazzmaster...report to follow... I'm sooooooooooooo sick of #$%#ing with the stock JM bridge and saddles! PS: It says on the Masterybridge website it WON'T work w/ the mute or cover. — |

That's cool. I was just curious. It's not on there now so I'll just continue to not miss it |

Why I don't like Mastery?! Every word is like an unecessary stain on silence and nothingness. |

You don't like Mastery because it causes you to commit suicide? |

I still like the idea that the mastery bridge causes people to kill themselves. It brings me novel amusement during my work day. |

A Mastery Bridge and a Buzz Stop will make a Jazzmaster sound almost as good as a Strat. High praise indeed! |

The bridge was ordered on Sunday...arrived and was installed on Thursday. I'll post a detailed review when I have more time but in short, it's a HUGE improvement over any vintage or reissue bridge with any combination of aftermarket or stock saddles and/or buzzstop. My Jazzmaster actually has sustain now!! (less banjo more guitar). The bridge isn't perfect (as with everything I could re-engineer or mod a couple of things to make it even better) but so far I'm really happy with it and think it's worth the $$ for the added sustain and tone. I want to mess with it for a couple more days and play a Halloween gig before making my final decision and posting a full review... — |

I'd love to check it out at the Halloween gig if you'd be so kind. I really really really can't afford one right now, but I still want to buy one. I am looking for the less banjo more guitar thing myself. For the first time ever I'm not bringing any offsets to the gig. My ES-355 and Guild T-100 are making the trip this time. |

You can definitely check it out!! It still has the quirky overtones of a Jazzmaster (sometimes when I play an open G it sounds like a 60's telephone is faintly ringing in the background Wow! No offset?? The Verb absolutely can't be considered "Surf" now... |

I don't know if we will ever be releasing the new album. We are discussing going in a new direction or becoming a new band altogether. Who knows how that is going to work out. It is a shame though that we probably won't put out the CD. Perhaps I'll be able to make it a free download someday. I really do enjoy the album, some really nice songs to listen to on it. |

Well it took exactly a week to get here. Installation was ridiculously simple. It really was just like the video online Making it jump through hoops right now. Only problem is I'm pissed because I put new strings on and the G is fucked |

I put a Mastery bridge on my Jazzmaster a month or so ago. I absolutely love it. |

I will say that I always heard more sustain from my jazzy than my Jag. But the sustain on my jag with this thin, even with flats is through the roof! |

I dig my "Fender Mute" 
U Jazzmaster players U you have it easy 
) but has great sustain and playability. I 'think' it will be much more stable too...hopefully I won't have to tune-up between every song now.
I have to bend it across the fingerboard to raise the pitch a half! Slidding off the top of the Fingerboard and It's a half!
