Just been invoiced and notified that my bridges have shipped. 10 weeks rather than the estimated 17 weeks. Quite curious about trying the 9.5" radius one in my 7.25" Mustang. With two new bridges in the post it probably means I should think about buying some more guitars ::)

I received the invoice for my last order after 2.5 months. Totally fine.

Btw: I do order my vibrato arms in different lengths.
On Jazzmasters I prefer them 2 cm longer and on Jaguars 1.5 cm longer than the standard staytrem arm length.

I just got invoiced after waiting about 2 months. Not too bad, better than the quoted 37 weeks or whatever the website said at the time.

I actually bought one via eBay about a month ago because I got too impatient. So now I've got another one on the way because I also ordered the collet and arm when I did the original order.

I figure I'll be able to sell the 7.25" bridge, keep the collet and arm, and be zero dollars out of pocket. Only 20 posts to go before I can post ads here, sigh

Just got invoiced three months after I placed my order. Not bad either.

Wait: you can get Staytrem arms in different lengths?

Yea I thought the same thing! I am in love with the stay trem arm and collet. Literally transformed my instrument.

Yes Sir! Basically you can order a different arm length. It always worked for me to add my specific wish to the comment field during the order process. John is awesome:)

Oft, that’s good to know man. I have an arm and collet from Staytrem, wee bit longer arm is always something I’ve wanted to try. I’ll mate send him an email about it

Yes, great info.

John is a star. Should have thought to ask but maybe next time. Got the Staytrem collet/arm on both my offsets.

And as a reminder he can also do tipless arms on request if you like your arm without a plastic blob on the end. ;)
