BTW: Will Ray sez it's better to drill holes ***very*** close to the top edge of the bridges end than make notches there,
Yeah, I was going to do that but with the Gotoh, there is no edge margin. I might get an ashtray and see if that helps the tension. I think I will pick up some offset saddles too, that is a great idea!
Edit: BTW if it's alright with you to use heavier strings, use at least 10s, better 11s. Best 12s or 13s. Doing all this I don't think you will have to shim the neck.[/quote]
I use 10's already, but it never hurts the tone to go up a size, just hurts the fingers.
