Permalink Help! I have 2 days to find a replacement screw for my Mastery bridge

New Topic
Page 1 of 1

I have a new Mastery bridge and discovered at practice tonight that one of the intonation screws dropped out. I leave Thursday AM for Seattle and have to find something that'll work. Any idea what size screw it is?

Did you try messaging Woody on Facebook to see if he could get you a size for it?

Other than the current issue, how're you liking it?

He's recently been awarded a Patent for his creation. Looked it up in hopes it might give some spec's not found on the Mastery site... sorry, no luck / no additional help.

I called Woody today and he emailed me the specs. It's a pretty common 4-40 screw so I can pick it up tomorrow and he's sending me a new one in the mail. Thanks guys!

Yeah, I'd love to know too- (besides obviously having to Locktite the screws) what's your impressions so far, Danny?

I love it! JohnnyA just started a thread about Mastery bridges and I agree with everything he says. If you can spare the cash get one, but leave enough left over for a tube of locktite.

Thanks for the reply. I'm really into getting one myself, so your opinion (as top Surf guys) matters to me the most.
The AVRI bridge actually works well for me, it's setup great, but I'm looking forward to the increased stability and sustain. The only real bummer is the saddle height screws pooping out (even with Locktite applied).

I heard (on OSG forum) that the Mastery suffers from this as well, and now you report that the intonation screws too aren't rock solid (it dropped out during playing, right?).
I think that's marginally acceptable, these guitars vibrate a whole lot and that's their charm, but it's still weird how a modern designed bridge still coldn't address (or completely solve) these issues.
Obviously, some players/setups never get those problems in the 1st place, and all is well, so it's not meant as a criticism of the Mastery, but still it would be nice if it was 100% for everybody, especially considering it's price.

I still wanna buy one though Big Grin Woody hinted (on OSG) that - his words - "Also, expect a new bridge, hopefully by this fall."
