Problem solver, comes at a price
I purchased the buzz stop to fix a couple of issues with my Jazzmaster.
Saddle/bridge issues and string buzzing is a common issue with jazzmaster, it can happen even when properly set up.
The product is well built, solid, sturdy and works perfectly to give the strings some more tension, eliminate buzz and increases significantly sustain. There are of course different schools of thought about using it on jazzmasters as using the buzz stop does take away the characteristic twang and short response of the jazzmaster sound. This happens. The tremolo/whammy bar does get harder as the tension on the strings is increased. Those of you who are looking to resolve jazzmaster issues without changing its characteristic sound, the buzzstop is not for you. Better off getting another bridge or spend more time fine tuning it, raising the action and adjusting the truss rod. But if you want to give your guitar more singing power, presence, tuning and string stability on the bridge better palm mutes, and eliminate buzz from the strings hitting the saddle screws, the buzz stop does the trick. Its just a question of what kind of sound you want out of the guitar and deciding accordingly.

Could not recommend enough
My jazzmaster was driving me crazy as the bridge used to rattle horribly everytime I played the low strings. I did a bit of research and found this product and I couldn’t be happier. Installation was dead simple and the rattling has completely stopped

Does what it's designed to do
Bough it for my Jaguar HH Special because I was suffering from string buzz on strings behind the bridge. I reckon it is more common to have that "problem" on Jaguar than not to have it at all.
Guitar being amplified, the buzz does not really matter but I still wanted it gone at all times and got myself this Buzz Stop, and as you may guess, no buzz no more.
Easy to install and it doesn't look too bad on the guitar. I prefer this over improvised ways to remove string buzz

Buzzstop
It does what it says on the can. It has stopped the rattles that were there before and most importantly it stops the strings from slipping out of their slots at the bridge. Why Fender do not fit this originally is a mystery. It actually fits on top of the tremolo unit using the top two screws that fit the tremolo to the body.The strings then go under the chrome roller bar. I have fitted this to a Fender Squire Vintage Modified Jaguar and the tremolo now works perfectly.
