Members stratotak Posted September 15, 2013 Members Share Posted September 15, 2013 Where do the shims go?I took a feeler gauge and used .6mm for E saddles and .2mm for the A,B saddles. Do they go under the part of the saddle where the locking screw is that holds the string in or under the part the has the "U" shaped slot for saddle.?? I nplaced them under the section with string lock. do shims have glue or some sticky to hold them?On mine I used a tiny dab of super glue to hold them. I had refretted guitar almost year ago and re radiused fret board to 16 .From what I understand Floyd is a 10 radius. Its a original floyd.The Floyd special.Same specs as original.Just cheaper block and saddles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you remove the shim that is under the A, D, G and B string saddles, the radius is then 12". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
