So I bought a 2010 jaguar earlier this year, it plays and sounds like a dream, but my band plays half a step down, which caused the strings to jump around on the stock bridge. I read around, and finally bought and installed a mustang bridge to see if this helped, turns out the strings still skip around.

Is there any way to fix this problem? I know I could just buy a buzz stop, which would probably fix this issue, but does that affect the action of the guitar? Is there any other ways I could increase string tension without sacrificing the action of the guitar?

if you use a buzz stop, I doubt you could notice much change in action. It would be easier to just use a heavier string set, like 10's. Since you are tuning down anyway, the thicker strings will hold more tension and maybe not jump around on the saddles.....and the detuned heavier strings will feel more like your standard tuned 9's :) If you leave it tuned down, I bet you wouldn't need a setup change by swapping to the 10's ;) It's what i would do.

If it's an American made Jaguar, you could get a mastery bridge. It's a bridge made especially for Jaguars and Jazzmasters that are way better than the stock bridges. They're kind of expensive, but it may be worth looking into. http://www.masterybridge.com
