Stupid warmoth can't make the neck I want in 7.25 radius. But my bridge is 7.25 radius and I can't change that. How would a 7.25 bridge we on a 9.0 or 9.5 neck? Could I also grind the saddles or shim them? Also... It will be a 12 string.

I have that set up on my Shadowmaster. Your E's are elevated moreso than the rest of the strings. Not a big deal.

Just put a washer underneath each E saddle... job done. Very Happy

I did that on my low E as I cut a deeper groove into it to prevent slippage... so heightened it for that reason.

I later did on the higher E just to raise it slightly to prevent chocking on bends.

I'll be using the 9.0/9.5 neck with one of these bridges though. I'm just tring to figure out if it would be worth the $100 -$200 more to have matching radius's on a 12 string.

Talk to john at staytrem, he does custom work by request sometimes and might be able to adapt some 9.5 saddles from his bridges

He does awesome work, you might have to send him the saddles to work off of if he can do it

Not my bridge, but I do intend to get one from him eventually

I'm surprised ma$tery hasn't made one yet for $500

"The saddles are much different to the ones I currently produce and therefore would need special tooling. I am very sorry but it would not be practical for me to make one or even a few sets.

Regards
John"

Damn.

Maybeee if we made a post to see how many people would buy an xii bridge, it would show enough interest and he would make them. I mean who hasn't wanted an xii bridge?

I don't know if this will help you any, but on my Squier I put a regular Mustang bridge but instead of the low E saddle I used an A or B saddle from another set. No problem with the high E and it plays fine like this.

It might if you can get hold of two more saddles. Not 100% sure, but it might.
