Guest bassman7755 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 [quote name='icastle' timestamp='1359929512' post='1962298'] If you shove all the saddles right forward and then mount it in the correct location, you'll get the correct intonation for that set of strings at that action. [/quote] Yeah but hes not suggesting that the forwards-moved saddles are aligned with a previous intonation setting - he is suggesting that they are aligned with exactly double the nut-12fret distance. He is right, you are merely failing to understand what he said :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1359915507' post='1962003'] Job done! Measured it all up and the bridge is now 1/2" further back which allows the contact point on the D string saddle to be exactly on 34". Needless to say intonation now spot on too! [/quote] Well, really, I don't know what the world's coming to - this wouldn't be a problem if folk played properly and only wore out the first 5 frets now, would it? Harumph!
