Re: Height of vibrato bridge
Most of the comments are incorrect. Beau, Ehd, and Itsa are correct. It won't hurt anything. It doesn't cause more stress to the posts (the anchor spot is still the same, and the tension is still the same). The saddles can still adjust intonation. You can still slack the strings til they are totally limp.
It can raise the action, but you can put shims under the neck to correct that. Your guitar can still be set up to play perfectly with a high trem.
Having the trem high just allows you to work the trem in both directions, both raising and lowering the pitch.
