Mastery wants a home...

on your Tele now... :lol:

If 3 is better than 6, then 2 must be mo' better, huh?

This would be sweet for a standard plate Bigsby installation.

That's not a bridge, it's a fashion statement...

Is the A string's intonation relative to the D's?

Is the G string's intonation relative to the B's?

You'd hope if you buy one...

Is this really an improvement? Actually, scratch that - please don't post any blurbs of how it's meant to turn your guitar into a "tone monster".

It's just freaking saddles. And the line between guitar hardware and astrology is getting increasingly blured.

How so?

You've got through holes you don't want or need;

And there's no clear path for the strings back to the saddles. The back edge of the plate would have to be modded in the hope it could work.

I've made 2 barrel saddle Teles and they can work; what I don't see is, what are the faults this design is trying to address. In other words, a solution in search of a problem.

I agree...Sagittarius....
I have a mastery bridge on one of my Bixby tellys and it is a marvelous piece of work and performs great. But thst is a post type bridge. What I dont see here is how the strings will come in contact with saddles because of the back lip. If you jack them up too high, I would think you woulb be getting into binding problems when you try to set the intonation. This set up might allow the saddled to move back and forth with the strings as the bixby moves too. Interesting......
