I have Masterys in my two offsets. Sure they cost a lot but to me they are way better than both the original and the mustang bridges I have tried (with and without buzzstops) and really make a huge difference. Also I don't think the guys making them are getting rich off 'em.

I may not be a true offset player since I prefer my JM and Jag as sustainy, ringing and un-rattly as possible, but if so... so be it. I think it is about the same as getting a set of Novak pickups, they cost more but you get a superior product from someone who is totally dedicated to designing and making it. Is it 6 times as good? I don't know, but if I had to choose between two offsets without Masterys and one with a Mastery I would go for the latter.

YMMV. And power to all of you who manage to get it right with the original bridges, Mustang bridges and/or graph tech saddles.

I get it. You don't like me and you don't value my opinion. I understand that. I'm not going to try to change your opinion on this, so can we stop with the little personal digs everywhere? Thanks.
WTF? I made a perfectly valid point about tweaking strat bridges and trems: cock off.
