I've only been noticing recently but the little allen screw holes on my american strat saddles are like sharp little barbed wires. It does not affect the strings or tone at all but its really been cutting my hand latley from rubbing up against them. Should i try to sand the edges down with sand paper? I don't know anything about different kinds of sand paper, i'm sort of guitar maintenence retarded. Any help would be appreciated!
All these responses are awful - replace the bridge with one with block saddles, you don't want to sand grub screws, that's a ridiculous suggestion. I changed my Telecaster Deluxe bridge from this:
If you're gonna file/sand it down, you'd have to be pretty careful not too go too far- take too much off the top, and the little "indentation" at the top of the screw is gonna be too shallow to use with the allen key.
You could put a shim in the neck so you can raise the saddles up till nothing is protruding? I'm gonna do it with my Strat, I've been spoilt by the Doogcaster's "nothin' poking out" setup and bridge.
