A 1993 Made in Japan Mustang, to be precise. I'm not super knowledgeable about these guitars, but I know Jazzmasters and Teles and all that.
Right now I've got the bridge off, and I'm cleaning it. I notice that there is play when the strings aren't holding it down, which was the case with my Jazzmaster. I was able go get thimbles that would eliminate that play, so that the bridge didn't have any chance of moving when the tremolo is used. It made it a lot easier to keep in tune when using the tremolo. But that was with a Mastery bridge, and I don't know if I can just get the thimbles.
What do all of you use? I'm cleaning off a bunch of sticky crap from the posts of the bridge now, it looks like someone at some point used tape, but it isn't there now, just the sticky residue. I'd rather not use that. Does anyone know where I can get thimbles for this?
Thanks! I'm sure to have more questions, as I'm just not that familiar with the model. Nice guitar, though.
I'm rebuilding a friend's Mustang.

Hey, thanks for the response! Yeah, I know how they were designed, but I thought that had been pretty much debunked these days. Either way, my Jazzmaster was supposed to do the same thing, but I've got it completely fixed in there (and with locking tuners to boot) so it's much more tuning stable than it had been. I was hoping there was something similar that folks used for the Mustang.
