Sounds like a good idea. I'm not sure it's necessary. What's a bit of  
a dent going to do, under the bridge? At least that has been my  
attitude. BTW, I noticed no negative effect on tone quality (and, of  
course, a positive effect from losing the buzz, in the cases where the  
board was actually contacting the strings).
