I'm fine w/o the relic bit, but VWH and maple totally works. Nice year-end review from PGS despite a little more compression on the recording than I had hoped for.
Done intentionally. On the CS offsets, they flip them around, and grind down the lip on the backside. Thus, the strings have no chance of hitting something on their way from the trem to the saddle. Also, the saddle screws are a bit less likely to interfere with the string path as well. They intonate perfectly fine this way, in fact I believe when I bought my AVRI JM the shop had it set up like this.

huh. this seems like a good idea, any downsides besides not being 'vintage correct'
