Jag HH bridge replacement

Postby foomanfat » Thu Jan 30, 2014 9:13 pm

So, I've got this Jaguar HH special that has the fender adjust-o-matic bridge setup. Given the 24" tension, I've had trouble with knocking the low E off the saddle using .12s.
I'd love to put a wraparound bridge on it, but to my knowledge there is no such bridge in the correct radius. Is there a Fender radius roller bridge or something with deeper grooves?
Could get more tension with a Bigsby installed?

Plz halp, guitar wizards.

I actually really like that bridge a lot. Why not just cut deeper grooves into the saddles and raise the bridge...?

I'd really prefer to lower the bridge, at this point. Will cutting deeper grooves noticeably affect the radius?

depending on how much metal you use, yes, it could affect radius. I would try to make them all the same, and then raise the whole bridge slightly.
It looks like the spacing is different from the gibson bridges so there are not a lot of options unless you fill and redrill for different post spacing.

You'd need to get a simple radius tool for the right neck shape from say stewmac or something. Then you can file down till you have a deeper groove, raise the bridge up by the same amount and you will end up with the same action but a deeper slot.

I have the same guitar and have been considering typing a different bridge too. Does anyone know if the mastery's posts are the right spacing?
