Have any of you guys seen the new Mastery tele bridges that have been appearing on their facebook page? Fucking SEXY.

If this guitar belongs to one you, speak up. It looks tits. Also, what brand guitar is this? TITS.

Yeah they put those tele bridges out every once in a while, I think they look pretty awesome.

I've got a Mastery on my Jazzmaster. I like it a lot. I had one on my old Jazzmaster but I sold that guitar. I have experienced a little bit of slipping on the saddle poles, but it just is the angle of the intonation that seems to be throwing it off a bit. Doesn't really affect anything and is HEAPS better than the stock bridge

I've got a Mastery on my JM as well and it's fantastic. Haven't tried the Tele bridge, almost picked one up but went with the Callaham in the end due to price. It's great too. Then I have a Staytrem BASS VI bridge and again, it rules. Lots of great bridge designers out there.

I have a Mastery on my Mustang, and I love it. I recently switched back to the original bridge for a bit, but the Mastery is back on to stay. It definitely changes the sound of the guitar in a subtle way. Bit more sustain, and the unplugged the guitar just seems to resonate a little more and sounds a little more lively. The string spacing on it is a huge improvement too, before both the high and low e were really near the edges of the fretboard but now they are much better spaced. Adjustable saddle height is a huge plus too, as for some reason Fender didn't have the radius on the Mustang bridges quite matching the 7 1/4 radius of the fretboard, the high and low e strings were just a touch too low.

Keep in mind that I'm comparing the Mastery to a Mustang bridge, which was the go-to replacement for JM and Jag bridges for ages, so I imagine the difference is much greater between a Mastery and a stock JM/Jag bridge.

From their facebook page, about the tele-style bridges: "We have a small handful of our new M4.1's done! Our unique hard-chrome plating and saddle design work excellent with Bigsby B5's. If you'd like one send me an email woody@masterybridge.com - Same price as our M4. Otherwise they should be on our store page in a couple of weeks."
