Damping with the edge of my right hand is a big part of my playing and am finding it really uncomfortable on the tele. Can even get painful.
As far as I can tell it's the edge of the little grub screws for height adjustment on the saddle that's the culprit.
I dont want to fit one of those ashtray cover things as I think they look crap and I wouldn't be able dampen properly any more anyway. Which would kinda defeat the purpose of it.
Is there any other solution? I've tried searching for more subtle covers, maybe something like little rubber caps for the screws, but can't find anything.
It's putting me off playing the tele.

I usually buy a set of spare grub screws and just grind them down so they sit either flush or just under the hole.
How do you grind them down? They're tiny....
Where would a handsome young fella, such as myself, purchase aforementioned shorter screws?
Just order whatever sizes suit, I did buy a staggered set for my Silver Sky but still needed to take a little bit off each with a bench grinder (probably not the best solution to be fair)
Six short ones ordered....
shims can be any thin material. Card, plastic, wood veneer... they all work fine

If anyone wants a set, hit me up.
Now you have so many spare screws, I'm sure someone else will want them though!
