I disagree. I think Mr Erlewine is a great tech/luthier etc. but on our trems(except the Luke and JP) the back of the trem should rest against the body. This info was given to me by my sensei, the guy who designed our trem, Mr. Dudley Gimpel.
BTW if you do block the piezo trem use 2 pieces of wood, or drill a hole through it for the piezo wire.
