After struggling with the stock Squier bridge whose saddles could not keep my strings stable no matter how light I played using 52 through 11 strings, I knew I needed a new bridge.

First I tried the Seismic Audio TOM bridge, which is supposed to be a drop in replacement according to the site. It isn't by a long shot. Even mounting the bridge so that the bottom of the bridge was resting on the guitar body, the strings were way too high off the fret board to make playing frets 12 through 21 comfortable.

Next I tried this Jaguar bridge I found on Ebay using this term: Rocking Chrome Bridge for Fender Jazzmaster Jaguar Mustang Offset Guitars.

Jackpot! I basically had intonation and string height setup in about 20 minutes. Much more stable than the stock Squier Jazzmaster bridge. The only time consuming thing was angling the 6th low E string so that it didn't jump the saddle, since the saddle groove is cut a little shallow. All the rest on the saddles were great with little to no tweaking.
