hello, hope everyone is doing well!
replaced the bridges on my '62, '63, and '64 with mustang bridges and the like ages ago.
fool that I am I didn't mark the original ones before tossing them in the parts bin.
my guess is: top > down =
'63 (domes, point height adjustment screws),
'62 (domes + rounded height adjustment screws),
'64 (no domes).
anyone? any help much appreciated!
can anyone help me identify those vintage jm bridges

Re: can anyone help me identify those vintage jm bridges
i believe you got it right.
certainly the domes are earlier, and i'm pretty sure the pointy screws come later.
i recently set up a 1961 for a friend, and it had the rounded screw tips. not 100% sure it was
original, but no reason to doubt it, either.
i have a '59 at my studio i can peek at next time i'm there if you like.

thanks a ton for the reply!
would be great if you could take a peek at the '59 in case it's not too much of a hassle

Hm... I thought they all had domes up through 68. My 68 Jaguar has domes and pointy screws. My 69 jaguar has round indentations, not domes. Can anyone here spell out the specific bridge changes throughout the 60s or point me to a good link?
