Oh, and the reason why peeps with CP's aren't noticing this issue - the radius is not 7.25 on CP's....
and, if you have issues with tuning stability, it's because your guitar is not setup right. The JM trem is amazing - takes a SHIITE TON of abuse AND will stay RIGHT in tune...WITH the stock bridge!
stock 10-46's you don't notice it too much - but as you go heavier (which Jazzmaster *require* in my opinion) you'll be like WTH?
i went to 11-56's and it was awful - the outer strings where ok - but the G and B would always choke out on bends. If you jack the action way up the TOM is just OK. I don't play with THAT low of action (just under 5/64th's at the 12th fret)
Which mod? Replacing the thimbles? Or mod'ing a mustang bridge and dropping it on the TOM posts?
The latter seems much easier and like it might solve the problem. Not sure.
