Just picked up a new 1861 Balladeer and the action height sits at 3/32 at both E strings....I'd like to get the treble end down to about 2/32; if I remove one shim from under the saddle will it lower both sides by the same amount?

Also, is it a problem getting to the shims with all the pickup wiring, etc. there?

Thanks.
