Does anyone know whether a Jazzmaster Vintage bridge is a direct replacement for the Adjusto-Matic on the American Special Jazzmaster? Nothing wrong with the Adjusto-matic, I just fancy the look of the vintage bridge with the bridge cover.
Thanks,
Mark

IMHO, even pieces that are supposed to be drop-in replacements, often aren't :mrgreen:

The vintage bridge posts distance is 2 7/8" (~73,025 mm).
I am under the impression that the Adjusto-Matic™ posts distance is 2.933" (74,4982, OK let's say ~74,5 mm).

Probably someone has made the change, one way or another, so the above just for starters.
