One thing to be wary of is if you have the Baggs Element as the UST... I have that as part of my Anthem SL systems (in both my 6 and 12 string guitars), and when I first got them back from the install, the luthier had used a shim on the 6 string, and it sounded REALLY bad,; all out of balance and bizarre noises all over the place!
I called Baggs and talked with their main tech, and he said that the Element DOES NOT PLAY WELL with shims of any kind!
I know that I have had shims in the same two guitars when they had Fishman USTs in them, without any untoward sonic difficulties however...
Breedlove gives you shims for the varying humidity associated with seasonal change that is common in most parts of the world... sort of a "spring" and "winter" saddle!
