"No rattles", they say. No sounds of my piggy bank being emptied either.
The venture smacks of a crowd funded project that may - or may not - come to fruition.
The guy on OSG is legit and I hope he succeeds - he's been working on this for years https://www.offsetguitars.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=111312
Actually, its better looking than the Mastery (IMHO).
The Mastery has its own set of issues including rattles and creaks when using the trem as the saddles can move when the tension drops - I flagged it to Woody at the time and he said something along the lines of 'noted - will look into it' and that was that. I've also had them drop - ie you are then back into the realms of threadlock etc. I'm a fan, but they aren't perfect.
The Staytrem looks like the OEM bridge (ish) but as pointed out above isn't radius adjustable.
I'm really happy to see another way of looking at the issues - and another option.
But the big issues as far as I can see - No price - So assume I want to buy one, where do I buy it and order it - Chances are it will be sold directly - I don't see your 'box shifting' stores stocking it as that would add to the retail price - It's initial impact will be via such forums as here etc and relevant social media channels - So a price and how to order should be there - It looks like you can join an e-mail waiting list - But surely they must have some available stock now - Can't believe they've only built one so far - They've got me excited but I can't buy now - Big downer IMO
Therefore strong marks so far for the design etc but no marks for the companies 'commercial' aspect
The link that @freakboy1610 posted tells you far more inc info about its patent and steel construction plus tolerances to its build

Again this info should be on his own site
I love Staytrem stuff, but 20 weeks waiting for a Fender XI bridge from them is mightily frustrating (patience I know!) and no way idea if it’s coming in this time frame?

Where did you see that? I'm not expecting it to be cheap, but that would be a dealbreaker for me (and many others, I'm sure)
