lo pro edge. i haven't tried swapping it, but that's a great idea. i did sand it with some very fine grade alumina paper (5 micron if i recall correctly) but it may have been too fine to do any good, or i might not have had enough patience to make enough of a difference. i'll swap it out this weekend and we'll see if that helps.

thanks

Where Thou didst reign, in Hell where Thou dost lie,
Vanquished, silent, dreaming eternally.
Grant that my soul some day rest close to Thee
Under the Tree of Knowledge which shall spread

Try some nut sauce, or replace the saddle and get those string saver ones...

Bucause the strings go on normally with the ball end at the bridge.
