Don't remember the thread, but you simply hacksaw or bandsaw off the protruding tab (on the treble side), file it flush and remove the file marks with fine wet or dry, using mineral spirits as a lubricant, and polish with jewelers' rough on a wheel.

Then drill a hole in the center of the spring pocket (hidden by the spring) to provide a secure (obscure?) place for a fourth screw.

Thanks for the details, Paul. I was under the impression the "slope" of the 350 body in the tail section was different than the 325's, causing the B5 to not sit flush. Any truth to this?

Dan, Since I played bass for so many years before really taking up the guitar, I don't notice balance as much on guitars, since they all seem to feel pretty light to me, except maybe a Les Paul. But I just put my 350 down before posting, and it is really nicely balanced. But the thing I really noticed about it first was how small it is and how lightweight, I could see playing it for hours without ever having a problem with a sore back, it just weighs nothing. Everything about it is just light, light touch, light-weight very easy to play. I have really bonded with that guitar, even though we've only been together a few years! <sigh>
