My new M-1000 highE saddle is pretty close to the front with 9s. I'm pretty sure it will still intonate with 8s (but not entirely sure.)
This could have the benefit that with larger strings, you would not run out of backwards movement. (But I never use really large strings.)
Have you ever encountered a guitar where it was unable to intonate because the saddle movement was restricted? (I read a complaint thread about a defective Kiesel where this was apparently the case.)
Looking at my various Floyd guitars, there does seem to be a bit of variance between guitars... which is strange because you would think they would all be installed at EXACTLY the same distance. These are pretty high quality J and K guitars too.
