Are there any set-up guys in TX that can shave a neck pocket?

[teleamp]

I am wanting to raise the saddle height on my Telecaster, it needs a small amount of wood removed at an angle so that the neck can tilt back just a hair.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

shim it like Leo...

or like tortex the turtle...

You can shim with layers of tape too. Better than modifying the body, IMO.

I've heard of guys using small pieces of window screen to use as shims.

Fender uses sand paper for shims.

As has been said... SHIM, DON'T SAND!

Shimmed and satisfied... thanks!
