Yeah, I want the telemaster really badly, and I played several Jagmasters at the local GC tonight that are on sale for $219. I didn't find the build quality to be on par with the rest of the Vintage Modified series. Maybe its my hate for strat tremelos coloring my experience, but I'm thinking that the Telemaster will be first because I want to get one of the first few of the Classic Vibe teles that everyone has been raving about before they change something to encourage people to buy the MIM standards for more money.

I'm also not convinced that the Jaguar control plates will cover the routes entirely on a Jagmaster, they're a little wonky. I can make my own pickguards from wood to cover anything, but I'm not about to try chroming my own control plates...

Anyone have any ideas for a good bridge for replacing a strat tremelo (or for putting bassVI strings on for that matter?)
