In the Ventura V-1006 thread there's this picture of a vibrato tailpiece on a Matsumoku guitar:

(sorry I've been proven incapable of embedding pictures even when I follow the rules).
This looks like it's based on the Jazzmaster vibrato.  I've also seem them on other Matsumokus like the Univox Hi-Flier, UC-2 and similar Arias.  I've been attracted to these guitars partly because I'm a fan of the vibrato on Jazzmasters -- much more so than Strats.  They seem more Bigsby-like to me (which is a good thing, IMO).  So my question is, who has played these guitars who can give insight on the similarity in action/sound between their vibratos and Jazzmasters?
