Tremolo block touching cavity. Is it safe to remove wood?

My question

Tremolo block touching cavity - Is it safe to remove some wood?

What I have tried

I installed a Wilkinson WOLD1 Floyd Rose on my Memphis MG-130. At the bridge’s resting position, the tremolo block is touching the wood inside the rear cavity (see photo). I know the block should move freely. Is it safe to remove a small amount of wood from the cavity to provide clearance, as long as I don’t affect the pivot posts or their mounting area? If so, what’s the best tool to use and how much clearance is recommended?

Hey Pedro,

Thanks for raising your concern with us. Let me check this with our technical team and get back to you as soon as I receive the response. Please hold off on sanding or removing any wood out of the cavity til we get an advise.

Stay tuned.
