Thimbles for Staytrem Jazzmaster bridge?

Creed_Clicks

Hi all, I have a 9.5 radius staytrem Jazzmaster bridge for a project and I need to get thimbles for the bridge.

Any advice on what ones to get? (As stable as possible!).

If I recall correctly, the "thimble" inserts are the same for all Staytrem Jag/JM bridge variants. Their non-rocking option amounts to a piece of stiff tubular material that goes around the bridge pivot screws.

I have this option on my Fender AVRI '62 Jaguar. It does not entirely eliminate bridge movement.

What would I need for the bridge to sit into? Are they all universal? I have the bridge with the support posts, just need the thimbles for them to slip into...

Firstly, let me say I'm not an offset kinda person, and know very little about them, but whilst recently browsing the Rockinger website I found these - of any help at all?

This looks interesting. Whether it could accommodate a staytrem is another question...

I was looking at the thimbles on the Fender website, but they seem to just be for American models, so not sure if they'd be ok for a project

They staytrem will slot into any American or mij thimbles with ease. They will also work with mastery thimbles.
I think John (staytrem) used to sell thimbles too? I've not ordered from them in years but he is usually responsive over email

I got in touch, and he said that I'd be able to buy the thimbles online from any shop etc.. (I guess he isn't selling them himself then)
