That’s a cool color! However I prefer Classic Vibe series, but Affinity also may surf} Not fond of this tremolo, but if you like it - just play it!

How do you like those pickups? Is that color Burgundy Mist?

This trem placement reminds me of my old Squier Jagmaster I had years ago. Though, instead of single coils it came with two humbuckers.

Looked exactly like this:

did you have those blocks custom made? If so mind sharing how much it cost?

Im looking to upgrade my Affinity tremolo and have heard that the newer models from 2021 are compatible with American Pro 2 point tremolos

Vista series! Very cool! Far from a new picture, but I have a fetish for the long-scale Jagmaster:

Which is similar to yours, but with a Jazzmaster neck instead of a Jaguar neck.

Marko, very cool guitar. Weird question, but could you tell me the distance between the centre of the pivot-posts that hold the tremolo?

The 2-point on the Jagmaster has been notoriously problematic because they use a different post spacing than the US bridges, which makes getting replacement units essentially impossible. Eventually I had to have bespoke new blocks and arms made for mine just to make them usable.

The Affinity bridge looks a lot closer to the US design, so I really want to know if it matches!

Here’s mine with upgraded PV 65 Jazzmaster pickups and pickguard… it’s one of my favorite guitars and can easily hold its own against Jazzmasters that cost 5 times more
