    When setting this guitar up I did all the right things measured from nut on neck to 12th fret and from 12th fret to where middle of saddle positions should be. (measure twice drill once!) So I will see how I go with shortening the springs or removing the offending ones all together. If that doesn't work I will move the bridge itself back a short distance. Attached pic to show the bottom e saddle wound all the way.
