Thanks Tony. I'm a bass player who started building basses recently. I also just completed one guitar and am about to start the next with this trem. Do guitar players and builders really utilise the recessed option (is it worth it)?

I certainly do, in fact, I'm not comfortable playing the other. Main reason is, I do in fact pull up often, & also, this application is usually utilized on a guitar that has little or no neck angle, as is my preference. My picking hand is much closer to the body & is totally comfortable to me. My hand stays relaxed in this position eliminating fatique.
