Peace Inky

thanks alot, this all looks pretty good. for ron: i've checked this intonation on my guitar, but because the bridge is straight and without compensation i can only assure that the first and sixth strings are really correctly intonated. for Swedish: i use heavier strings, round wound 11s and 12s on my baby for jazz, and of course those come with a wound G string, so do ya think i could get away with using the compensated bridge or were you suggesting that i just go with the tune-o-matic, and that tool looks great, i was wondering how i could match the bridges feet, and that offers alot of insight into the set-up of a tool to do just that

Hey all, I am pretty new to this forum, but I have a question which has been on my mind for a great deal of time and I thought that I might find some assistance here… I was planning on replacing a stock floating archtop bridge, which gave me endless troubles with intonation. It is made of rosewood and has no minute intonation possibilities other than scooting it one way or the other, and because it irritates me tremendously to have it play out of tune I want to get rid of it and replace it with a new bridge that offers my ear some relief. I have looked endlessly at the possible replacements on many sites, and was quite fond of what I saw on sites like Stewart MacDonald and other parts suppliers. I want to stick with an all-wood bridge if I can and I have seen some compensated all wood archtop bridges out there. Do these really work? My main concern is correct intonation so I don’t mind using a tune-o-matic style bridge if that is what will get me in tune. So, if I must resort to this then does anyone have any kind of suggestion on what kind of bridge to buy? Has anyone had any experience with this before? Cost is not of concern to me, I will pay what I must to get good quality, also I don’t have a preference over rosewood or ebony for the material the bridge is made of. The only thing I really want it for it to work good, and maybe come in gold if at all possible Any help is appreciated! Thank you!
