Not too keen on shimming although i have just shimmed a customers telecaster because there was insuficient adjustment at the bridge (bigsby fitted).
Although its recomended that saddles should be level Ive never had a problem tilting the A and B saddles a small amount to suit the neck contour even on a small radius neck, indeed on a vintage 3 saddle tele bridge you dont have much choice.
I first did it on a strat bridge about 25 years ago, i found it made palm muting much easier and its something ive just got used to.
Nice to see bridge screws sold in various lengths now, protruding screws are my pet hate.
