Jazzmaster USA/CIJ tailpiece question
Posted: Mon Jul 05, 2010 12:47 pm
Hi,
I'm wondering whether the JM USA/CIJ tailpiece interchangable.
My CIJ's spring and tremolo arm doesn't feel as strong as I like, so I'm thinking about replacing it with an USA one.
On the other hand, here's a picture of Thurston's JM

It seems they set the spring pretty tight.
There seem to have another ring on the tremolo arm's collet. My CIJ doesn't have it. Is that normal on a USE tail piece?
