Mustang Bridge On Squire VM Jaguar

Let's go ahead and detail the mods I made to a Squire Vintage Modified Jaguar:
The Stewart McDonald Mustang bridge is designed for a vintage radius, so I added shims to the outboard saddles to make it conform to the Jaguar neck radius. This worked very well.
I made sure I had the intonation right before adding a foam rubber "muff" behind the bridge to dampen unwanted overtones. This improved sustain and gave me clean tones. It does not interfere with vibrato action.
 None of the strings fall off the neck and it plays easily right up the fretboard.
