Post questions for TOM bridge

[Curtis P]

OK, my bridge is too high on my RR copy and since I am using a TOM, i lowered the thumb screws all the way, its still too high, i dont like that feel, the posts are as far down as i can make them go, so here are my questions:

1) Can i file the bottom part of the post? i dont want to drill my finished body any more then i have to

2) If I cant file, would i be best to drill more? or just leave the action a little high? it feels like playing an acoustic

Thanks alot

what type of neck joint is it, if its a bolt on just take the neck off and shim it other wise if its a set or neck thru you may hafta recess it a lil

if you know how to or can, draw up a cross section in cad or sumthin to figure out the size shim you need to make it 2 or 3 degrees or whatever for the length of the pocket
