The nut off of my Fender Classic Player Jazzmaster split fairly recently and I bought a new brass nut for it, and decided that while I was at it, I would replace the rattly bridge.
The individual saddles come blank, no filing having been done, which was almost a blessing because it meant I could spend time making sure each one would fit the strings I was using really well and comfortably. The provided bridge posts screwed straight into the thimbles, so I didn't even have to pull those out and replace them and it was a perfect and snug fit. The measurements were perfect and there is no room in the holes on the bridge itself to rattle around atop the bridge posts.
Once restrung, I could immediately hear that my rattling problem was a thing of the past, the saddles on this bridge are locked in tight, and will not move around. They do move smoothly along their screws when intimating though as well!
What's more is that the bell brass that it is made of definitely adds a pop and sparkle to your guitar sound, a very beautiful characteristic resonance. I feel I got more than what I paid for, which is a good feeling as I was apprehensive about the price tag. I understand why people will put down the money for hardware, because it takes your guitar maintenance and sound to another level!
Will buy again when I have another T.O.M. equipped guitar!!
