Now I could definitely be wrong, and I have been many times in the past,
but as far as I know, there is SUPPOSED to be some forward and backward
movement in the bridge to accomodate for tremolo aktion without scraping the
strings across the saddles, in essence wearing them down and breaking them.
In theory, if you remove that play, then your tremolo aktion will be
compromised, and it wont be as "smooth".
