JM-1 The King's 2nd PitBull build

[king casey]

It's looking good.

Thanks SM. I'm quite happy with the way it's turned out so far in that department.

I have zero experience with those bridges/trems so can't help with any advice there.

I get the impression you are not alone.
Think I'll drop into Music Junction and see if I can get a hands-on impression of the real Jazzmaster and see if I can work out what's up.
Could be just the cheap Chinese tremolo, but there's not a lot to them.
edit: Actually it's easy to bend the strings up (pulling up on the arm) but doing the down meets with strong resistance.
cheers, Mark.
