Goodbye shitty Jazzmaster Bridge and welcome back Dual Fulcrum Vibrato, you little beauty you...

If you're thinking Bolt-On then just go to G&L - No hyper-inflated bullshit marketing guff, just workhorse instruments with deep, glassy finishes and high performance necks.

*Sigh* makes me miss my Invader, but I want one of these now (always liked Jazzmaster Pickups).

Shame they are all heavier than the moon.

They can be, but I came to Guitar from Bass and don't really notice anything until it's 9lbs+

I know they have Empress Models at 6lbs to 7lbs, but Swamp Ash is King for me (favourite Tonewood)

Depends how Jazzmastery the pups are....

Jazzmaster without Jazzmaster trem is wrong.

Wisdom for you. The bridge/trem setup is half the point of a JM. 

This G&L is just a wonky strat with JM pickups.

Another wisdom.

Agreed about the bridge, but a JM style with a tauter feel is something I'd probably quite like. I love the offset look but the feel isn't right for me, but I've never really spent much time on one with a good aftermarket bridge, which would probably help me bond a bit better with one. Guitars are easier to play when you're not constantly moving a string along a saddle.

Yes, which is why the original JM bridge is so good - the bridge rocks back and forth instead of needing the strings to slide over it.
