Is this an original stock JP-6 bridge or not? looks diff to me

Looks all wrong to me unless it's a prototype or something?

I'm sure those in the know will chip in.

There was a removable plate for the bridge according to the seller. He showed it in pics.

I saw that one on EvilBay too. If the top plate is removable on my JP6, I sure didn't know it. Hopefully someone smarter than me can chime in here before I break my JP6 trying to pull that plate off.

It looks like a piece has been removed. I guess I didn't know that could be done. I did look underneath the bridge and there are a couple of screws that appear to hold that top plate on. I just don't know why anyone would remove it.
Maybe the seller can give you a better photo that shows the "Music Man" stamp on the bridge.

Here's what mine looks like:

yeah, that plate covers the saddles and adjustment screws. you pretty much have to take the entire bridge assy out in order to get that off properly.

i wouldn't do that though. it just makes the screws and strings vulnerable. i only do that when i clean my bridge from all the gig junk, but it's a BOOOOOOOIIIIICH!!!!
