In this link http://keithrichardsnews.90nn.com/po.../micawber2.jpg they appear flat. Easy fix.

Now as to your deliberate ... I'll edit if I figure it out.

EDIT: I'm not seeing any strap buttons ... did you leave 'em off Deliberately?

I'm not saying this is it ...but as I looked at pics of Keef and Micawber, I notice that he seems to flip the HB around; sometimes the poles are closer to the bridge, other times closer to the neck. Unless he's got two ... set up that way for different songs.
