As a tinkerer myself, I'd like to try to shave some braces, but for sake of a quick fix, have you considered a taller saddle?
I have considered the saddle's break angle, wondering if it was steep and long enough. Breedlove uses a pinless bridge and the string almost looks like it's just laying on the saddle. I intend to have a luthier put a bone saddle in it so the goal will be to optimize the saddle while keeping the perfect action it already has. I think it is wise to go that way first, before taking sandpaper to it. Thanks Yammie
