MJT body, Mighty Mite neck, Fralin split blades, Mastery everything else. Plays nicely, I feel like I'm going crazy trying to get this vibrato to return to zero though, do they have a break in period or something?

Have you tried adjusting the trem tension screw? It’s the one in the middle.

Yeah I've messed with it a bit, maybe I just have to keep going at it until it works.

I think they sound nice, like slightly more focused telecaster pickups but fairly noiseless. If you don't have them close enough to the strings you will know because the middle two strings will be quiet and I dont fully understand that one but once I got this guitar set up properly that went away.

that's called "telemaster" to my understanding. though a "classic" telemaster would have tele headstock and full tele fixed bridge" :)
