Yep, the trem placement is vintage accurate. Very few real compromises on these and the Jags. Short form: no trem-lock, basswood body instead of alder, classic bridge which some like and some don't, modern 9.5" radius instead of vintage (again, a preference thing), and some reports of fit/finish issues where others report dead solid guitars.

Oh, and people tend to be quite happy with the stock pickups on the Jazzie and the Jag, so don't assume they need replacement until you've lived with them a bit.

So I put on the TUSQ saddles and they work miraculously :) no more saddle buzz, no more strings popping out :) can only recommend!
