You were spot on with the bridge placement/intonation. I tuned up and the low E was sharp by a fair bit at its max adjustment on the bridge.
The high E was okay with a little more room for adjustment.
Looks like ill be plugging the existing holes and re positioning the bridge.
Is it okay to drill half dowel / half body as it only needs to go back 2-3mm..
Also annoying as I have already modified the pickguard to suit current setup and now the bridge will be further back, ohwell..
During this process I managed to strip the thread on one of the adjustment saddles. It didnt have a lot of tension and it pulled straight through. Can I drill and tap to next size up or are these an easily replaceable item? Is it worth upgrading to a better bridge? Got me thinking the quality might not be too flash for it to happen that easily...
