Will there be any trouble with the thimbles?
Please help a lost soul. I need to make decisions.
Thanks
Let’s say I want to replace the Mastery on my guitar for another bridge...

Probably not. With a Mastery you either have stock thimbles, or Mastery thimbles, which are just stock style thimbles with tighter tolerances to eliminate any movement of the bridge.
Any standard spec offest bridge will fit in either set of thimbles. The only bridge that won't work is a Tune-O-Matic style bridge, which requires a different post setup entirely. I wouldn't recommend that style of bridge for an offset anyway though.
