It’s got brass ‘barrel’ saddles with a preset radius and no individual saddle height adjustment. The problem is that, as standard, it only comes with a 7.25” radius. Some Jags and Jazzmasters are fine with this but some have the more modern, 9.5” radius on their fingerboards. Yes, I am saying it's the saddles you want and not the entire bridge. While true you will pay more for just the saddles compared to a whole bridge with saddles, you never needed the replacement bridge in the first place.

If you don't like the grooves in the Jaguar and Jazzmaster saddles, you get the Graph Tech set. Many people consider Cobain to be the father of left-handed Jaguar guitars, which were extremely rare at the time. He was also the owner of the Jaguar Jag-Stang, a Japanese-made Mustangs/Jaguar hybrid. And of course, there’s the Mastery Bridge. This is a redesign of the original offset guitar bridge that’s pretty well thought out. It doesn’t float in the same way as the original but the enhanced coupling and the bridge’s solidity make for good tone.

Notice the screws that adjust the individual saddle height. It's a beautiful thing. You don't get this on Mustang saddles... Kurt Cobain was best known for his hit song, “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” which he created. Despite the fact that his guitar playing is widely regarded as influential, he used very few guitars. This article examines Kurt’s Stratocaster guitar and its history, as well as how it has influenced popular music.

That said, because we have one saddle piece for wound and one for unwound strings, in practice, it’s pretty good. If you play with a wound G string, you might have some difficulties balancing that string's intonation but I suspect that’s a pretty small percentage of readers.The mustang introduced the Fender Dynamic Vibrato tailpiece - different to the Jag/Jazzmaster guitars. Mustang bridge saddles have 3 sizes that somewhat follow the radius of the fingerboard. The 1 and 6 saddles are the smallest, the 2 and 5 middle-size and the 3 and 4 are the largest. But the greatest advocates of Jazzmasters and Jaguars were another New York band, Sonic Youth, who used these models from 1980 up until their split in 2013. Which one is better?
