Seriously, could you please explain to me why having a bridge thats intonation is slightly off gives your guitar more character, and makes it sound fuller?
Not to be critical, but if you'd have went to the Fret Calculator link I gave in my first post and entered the numbers you'd have found the answer to your bridge placement yourself.
I did that with my strat...couldn't believe it!
I'd never had a strat before, so I didn't know what breaking a string means --on my other guitars, I break a string, the other strings stay reasonably in tune.
Well, after that one I blocked the trem and replaced the saddles with string savers. Although blocking the trem doesn't really help, breaking a string still knocks the whole guitar out of tune. Thanks, Leo!
Mick, how did you block the trem? If it's done correctly you won't go out of tune when you break a string.
Having the innotation bang on perfect can make a guitar sound sterile compared to a wraparound, not quite sure why though. It could be that the tune o matic just makes the tone of the guitar more metalic sounding.
