shim or file

Right, so use the shims, because you can't really f that up and it's completely reversible.

The radius you're aiming for at the bridge is about 18.5" but a while back I did lots and lots of maths, and in the end the shims that are available are a certain height which doesn't allow a completely mathematically correct radius. So I have two each on the two E strings, and one each on the A and B strings, which is a good approximation. Works great.

Also, the saddles are bolted down, so the shim isn't just loose in there.

Vibrato bridges have been problem children since forever. It wasn't until Floyd Rose came out with his design that tuning stopped being an issue, then shortly after that Trevor Wilkinson came out with his design which in combination with locking tuners improved on Floyd's by simplifying everything. Now wang bars are a Good Thing.
