we used to get a stuffing big pair of pliers and bend a kink in the adjusting screws to angle the saddles ... back in the bad old days of the seventies ... aye, the kids of today don't know they're born

Compensated saddlews and an Earvana nut if your really picky. The design makes a lot more sense when you realise that when the first ones were made, most players used wound G strings.

Plenty of bargains to be had.
This is true, also most players in the early 50s wouldn't know what to do beyond the 12th fret and were also used to acoustic type bridges with zero adjustability or little compensation. Leo updated the design and called it the Stratocaster but customers kept buying the earlier model. Thankfully we don't do that anymore...Oh hang on.Originally Posted by evilmags
if its the G that's intonating poorly , and 9/10 it usually is , try going up one gauge as an experiment 17 to an 18 etc on the offending string , this usually works for acoustics
