Hi. Complete noob here.
Just received a brand new Kala KA-KS. Looks great. Sounds good. Intonation is not terrible. But I noticed that it came with 2-1/2 soft-wood shims under the saddle (2 full-length pieces, and 1 half-length).
Being a complete noob, I couldn't see any reason they should be there, so I took them out. Action still seems good. No buzzing. Tone still seems OK.
So did I do something crazy?
Do all Kalas come with shims from the factory?
