Starcaster Build (completed)
I'm starting a build soon that I have always wanted to do. I think a lot of you guys will like it. I have been gathering some parts and working out the details with cooterfinger. Not gonna say what it is just yet. Here's a few pics of what I am using for it.

So I am using one of the bound blacktop necks on this and I was wondering the best bridge to use on it. I am using a jaguar tremolo. I was looking at a wilkinson roller bridge or a warmoth modified mustang bridge. The radius on these aren't the same as a mustang and the guitar this neck was on had a TOM stock. So what do you all think? And if neither of them what else should I get? Before anyone says mastery... I would love one but I really just can't see a bridge justifying almost $200.00 How can it be almost $200 better then an average bridge? I just don't see it.

Blacktop Jags are 9.5" aren't they? Staytrem make their bridge in either 7.25" or 9.5".Punkacc9 wrote:Probably wont work with this. The radius is a lot fatter and it had a Tom stock
Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
