run the handle at a 45 degree angle.....ditto as far as using the G lever as a rest when not bending the G string...i run my G string lever on a Hipshot at the same angle as the neck, tighten the snot out of it so it can't move, cut the length off with a Dremel tool till the end of the lever is behind the saddle area, and bend away with my wrist, plenty of lever there to activate the bend easily....doesn't compromise my style of right hand thumb picking and finger picking at all or right hand "damping/muting" technique...
