Maybe shimming the neck up and raising the bridge would give more clearance at that end.
That's how mines setup and is issue free. |

but do you do as much grindy-grindy, tremmy-tremmy moves and dives as george? sounds like his palm is almost surgically attached to the reverb handle. _________________ Check out Runway Runaway by Saturday's Child |

It's shimmed for a TOM and the tailpiece is closer to the bridge like a Classic Player. It definitely doesn't catch.
Also dots, it's the high e string so don't think hybrids are going to help.
I really think this is about certain strings (brand/gauge, as well as scale length possibly) |

i don't know that i'm convinced of that. you sound averse to heavier strings, but maybe putting a 10 or even an 11 (just the E) would yield different results? just spitballin _________________ Check out Runway Runaway by Saturday's Child |

Heavier gauge strings would help but I like 9s. What I mean is hybrids wouldn't affect the problem string, unless I went to 10 gauge hybrids which wouldn't make sense
Changing up one string would fuck up how it feels probably.
Anyway these EBs are doing well after a week at least. |

They’re still going strong and honestly sound pretty good after daily playing and regularish rehearsals. I’ve made a few changes to the guitar since the demo though: swapped the roller bridge for a regular TOM and adjusted pickup heights a tiny amount, so the next demo won’t be completely accurate. |
