Squier Musicmaster Bridge

[Grreth]

I've just bought a Squier Musicmaster (vista series) and, although it's lovely and playable, it has a little bit of neck dive which bothers me. I'm replacing the machine heads with Hipshot Ultralite but was considering replacing the bridge with a high mass version. Does anybody know if there is such a thing or an equivalent or is there a thread that I can be pointed in the direction of?

Cheers,

I bought one on behalf of a friend which came with a pink fake-fur strap. I didn't notice any neck dive so maybe that's the answer!
I liked it so much I didn't want to hand it over.

Oh! It's only a little bit of dive but I did try it with a nylon strap. I'll try it with a different one. I am going to replace the machine heads with Ultralite, that's for sure.

Hipshot A and B style bridges come in solid brass and with a narrow string spacing option which should work for the Musicmaster:

First i would try a diferent strap
or .. have you considered changing the center of gravity insted of spending all the extra cash in tuners and bridge?
I´ve never tried this but i supose that changing the position of the strap bolt would solve the neck dive issue. I guess this is why a some builder like Rob Elrick or Michael Tobias place them like this.

Thank you, Ikay, I'll look into this!

I hadn't considered that AGENTE BUT I'm not to sure that I want too either! I'll discuss it with my pals at Overwater!
