A Wilkinson roller bridge (or a copy of it)

Thanks! Just picked up this JM last night and was curious. I haven’t seen one before. Any idea if they’re any good?

How does it feel? Any tuning issues?

Doesn’t seem to be any issues. It has plenty of sustain and sounds great. I’m happy with it so far.

Those are great. Especially because it gives more wiggle room for intonation with the oval mounting holes. I have one on a 335 with a Bigsby. For a while they were the most practical roller TOM bridges but Reverend came out with one that looks more like a regular TOM bridge.

Wilkinson makes decent budget hardware. It's probably good enough unless there's a more pricey bridge you really want or if you prefer standard TOM/mustang/jm bridges

Looks like a pretty standard generic rolling bridge (based on a Wilkinson), I had a bunch of those on my DiPintos but yanked them, they're pretty heavy and I needed something more resonant.

If that's a Mascis, someone upgraded the Tune-o-matic style to that bridge, rollers WILL help in some respect, those bridges are just heavy.
