  • Things are going well over here, bringing more and more in house as I've now managed to manufacture a JM/JG vibrato unit and rocking bridge. Mostly just well made versions of Fender's original stuff, with attention to detail on things like the knife edge in the vibrato and going for simple solid build quality. I turn the arm collet on my own lathe, along with a few other custom parts like the brass spring retaining cone nut. All of it is in 303 or 304 stainless and all the folded sheet metal parts are made locally. The saddles are also cnc machined by an engineering company to my design, it's really satisfying!

    And the excellent work keeps on coming ...

    Congrats Elliot - when I think back to the early days, you've come a hell of a long way in a ridiculously short time (and, yes, I remember urging caution back then!!)
    Having trouble posting images here?  This might help.

  • If those bridges fit Fender JM guitars as well you might have another side business!

  • Whatever it is isn't loading, but I assume this is about your JM trem systems you posted about on Facebook last night?

    They look excellent!

    What a great way to expand your brand. I bet you will sell a bunch of them.

  • I'm always a bit afraid of JM bridges/vibratos as folks get into very heated arguments who makes the good ones, how to set them up, whether you can use the measly thin strings.

    However, I am planning a partscaster where a JM vibrato would look just right. Also your version just looks cool and is quite a bit cheaper than most which have adjustable radius.

    Do you think the Trent bridge + vibrato would work well with some measly 10s?
