Yea, they're kinda ugly, they seem to be pretty decent though.
Oolu, there's a 30 or 40 page thread over at OSG, if you want to check it out. (yea yea I know)
Lots of mixed reviews. Some love em, some regret it.
Overall the response has been positive.

You may as well fit a TOM for £20 lol, it achieves the same goals if it's so painful using a stock bridge.
I truly believe if it wasn't for people like kevin shields and sonic youth trying these out no one would have touched it for $165... well, except some of those rich dudes over at OSG with three swimming pools in their gardens.

I dunno what's wrong with a Mustang bridge if you can't be rigged with setting up the stock one.

I know, i feel bad saying it coz theres some cool dudes over there. But i feel a few popular members have bought one and peer pressure has led others to buy it that normally would'nt spend that amount of money.

I know what you mean, everytime somebody buys a jag or jazzy, they always post that they're on the waiting list for a mastery.

I've got a Mascis with a TOM, but I'm soon drilling it for a regular stock jazzy bridge. Messy threaded saddles and all. Why? I prefer the traditional look and I've played them before and haven't been bothered at all by them. They are usable with the right tweaking. If I hate it, I'll get a stang bridge.
Masterys are too expensive.
