Filing the corners on the DFS saddles?

Post by goldspanner »

I've noticed that when palm muting, the outer corners on the low and high e string saddle are quite sharp and uncomfortable

anyone filed theirs down/ have another solution?

I have guitars with both the DF saddles (chromed brass) which have sharp edges and
two guitars with the DFS saddles (stainless steel) which have a rounded front surface and the side and
back edges are slightly rounded. Which ones do you have?

This post might help id which ones you have: Re: DF Vibrato System vs. DFS Vibrato System.
