Bridge saddle screws on Axis SS

[GodWentPunk]

I have a question regarding the bridge saddle screws. This is from a used guitar I recently acquired and it's my 2nd Axis SS.

The action on the guitar is not the lowest but it's pretty nice however, the saddles screws for the G and D strings are poking out which I can feel as I play. If I lower them below the saddle, it will raise it way to high. On my other Axis SS this is not a issue and I think the action is pretty close to this one... so why would these screws be poking out like that? Could each set of screws for each saddle be different lengths and maybe they put the screws on the wrong saddles?

thanks!

If they bother you, replace them with shorter hex screws. You can get them from MM directly, or another supplier.

MM have only 3 lengths last time I asked: 6, 8, 12 mm if I remember, but you can get these in stainless steel in 1mm increment. If you don’t mind waiting they are pretty cheap and good quality from china.

Measure them and figure out what out need.

I was able to purchase the m3/8mm screws off Amazon (50 pcs) for $6 and replaced those that were sticking out.
