The stock trem is a pain too - it *can* work well, but is rather crude and not very adjustable... some combinations of string gauge, bridge height and bar height seem to be OK, others just don't ever seem to settle properly. And the arm falls out unless you modify the fitting. You're probably better off with a Jazzmaster/Jaguar trem and bridge - or a hardtail (which essentially makes it a Duo-Sonic). I would use a Toronado-type bridge if you're going to do that.

Well, at least until you hit your first wet roundabout..
I'd use one word to describe them.

Switches are annoyingly placed and useless, pickups are weak, trem is too light and needs locking down and the neck moves if you play it with any force.
To get them into a working, reliable gigging guitar, the only thing left original on the ones I worked with was the neck and the body.
Lightweight which is good but if you are anything other that a lean, 5"6 indie kid, it'll look like a mandolin on you.
IMO Avoid.

Of all the others I've played about a quarter were great and maybe half were crap. Like GavHaus I don't like the reissues either, I've never played one that didn't sound thin.
Jaguars do have a much higher proportion of good ones, and the reissues are much better, but if you want a Mustang then a Jag is really not the same thing... totally different sound and vibe.

it was ever so slightly worn on the back! A refin obviously, but done billions of years ago. All checked and blistered.
