Only thing that worries me is that the bridge is kind of like the jazzmaster/jaguar style bridge.
Probably have to replace it. Dont know if the specs are right for a mastery though.

Awesome. Looks sweet. Hope you enjoy it.

If I were you, I'd play it with that bridge for a few months before thinking about swapping it out. Bigsby bridge might work if you do decide to do so.

Please keep us updated on how you're getting along.

Yeah, Ill play like it is for a while.
It plays great! Really happy. Changed strings to 11´s and it was instantly better. But wont be able to try it on my big amp before tomorrow!

Tried it on my Twin reverb today. Im really happy with it, but it will take some time getting familiar. Bit of a shorter sustain than most of my other guitars.

The bridge actually is a problem. Doesn't work for as hard as I play, it unscrewes itself like jazzmaster/jaguar bridges.

Anybody know of good bridges that would fit? Here is the original one http://phantomguitars.com/store/product ... ddles.html

I don't have anything for you, but this long shot. Contact Phantom and see if there're any replacement bridges they'd recommend. If not, see if they'll at least give you all the specs on the bridge. So, you'll have an easier time finding a replacement on your own.

I`ve asked them, so I will know in a day or two. I really have to do it cause the bridge was even worse than my JM was.
Motivated to make this guitar as good to play as possible.

Wow, that sucks. Yeah, a bridge upgrade should hopefully improve playabliity for you.

I rarely have problems with strings popping out of saddles, but would like to have better intonation on some of my guitars.

Put some loctite on the screws. It'll do for now until i get specs etc. At least the buzz disappeared.
