I’m looking for a Jazzmaster bridge for my weirdo Vox Phantom build (set up with a JM 62 trem). Would one of these bridges be a good match? I have no idea what my neck radius is, I haven’t built it yet…

Ya gotta narrow that down first but yes, IMO Staytrem makes the best after market bridge for offsets.

They only do 9.5” and 7.25” anyway

Same as above. I ordered in August and was just charged a few days ago!

This is a great thread - not to bag Staytrem, but to help us manage expectations.

I just reached the top of the queue for an order placed Sept 18th, so that’s just under 3 months.

I'm also really tempted by a Staytrem Jag bridge having seen this one. The Squier one is *completely fine*, but I'm a sucker for a steel bridge, and it's seriously well made because of course it is.
If undecided, I reckon get one. John is partly retired (hence the much slower production speed these days), and who knows when he will decide to completely shut shop.

I think they will hold resale value in the foreseeable future (at least until offsets become really uncool and everyone starts playing superStrats!).

I ordered one on Sept 29th. It shipped last week so approx 8 week order backlog as advertised. I'm hoping to receive it sometime this week.
It takes about 2 weeks from shipping to delivery via postal service and customs. Tracking is spotty because it goes through multiple services between UK and US, making a stop in Switzerland where the international mail exchange occurs. Painfully slow but far cheaper than DHL next day :-)

My order took about that long. I did end up emailing the below and got my PayPal payment email the next day.

Is it worth replacing the current (proper spacing) Fender Marr Jaguar stock bridge with a Staytrem bridge, or would it just be a lateral move?
