Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone has an answer to this question. I have my LP Standard set up with 11-54 strings in drop C#. Now, the .54 in C# has to have the saddle all the way to its limit against the frame toward the bridge to get just about the right intonation. I was wondering if I bump it to a .56, will this help and allow me to pull the saddle away from the bridge and toward the neck since the heavier string should have better tension? Am I making
sense?
I also installed a new Tone Pros bridge and noticed it doesn't align the strings correctly compared to the stock Nashville bridge in which I can see they custom notched the saddles at the factory. This bridge causes all strings to slightly shift to the high E side. I don't really notice while playing but it's there. Since I am so anal about this ....is there a way for a good tech to make adjustments or re-notch? What about buying a few new saddles?
Thanks,
Rich
