Out of adjustment on my Charvel bridge (intonation question)

[HomespunEffects]

3/20 is a little more distance than 1/8. I can remove it completely and try again. There’s no warbling or loss of sustain so I’m not sure the magnet is causing it.

I just can’t figure what else changed.

Good luck. You could go up a gauge of strings as a last resort, that could help a little but not ideal.

It is the original bridge.
Do you want me to put a little kink in the string or just make sure it’s seated?

No just press down with your thumb a few times like you were stretching the strings out.

No effect.

I just can’t figure this one out. Quite literally nothing changed. Nothing is bent or broken. Everything is tight. I’m just baffled.

Wilkinson Roller is en route.

Well it had to be tried. it cures 95% normally.

Well, I’ll call this one solved. Even the Wilkinson bridge base needed moved as far up as possible but at least there is adjustment available. It’s finally intonated.

I’m pleased that it doesn’t suck the tone.

Damn glad to hear that!

Thanks. I really like this guitar and the pickups are most excellent. I am going to go back to 9s at the next string change though.
