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.

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 :-)

Cheers mate! Glad somebody gets what I'm saying. (Fortunately, since I work in education, I'm well used to people not understanding me. :rolleyes:)

I strongly suspect you're right, I have to admit that I've kinda lost track of what it was that I was disagreeing about. :)

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!

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!
