Carbon Fibre Guitars - What’s The Deal?
I checked all of my guitars (Taylor’s, Martins, Voyage-Air, Fender and Custom Les Paul). Every guitar has an OEM compensated bridge or adjustable saddle setup.
Intonation is based on the length of the string from the nut to the bridge saddle and length of the string from the 12th fret to the bridge.
I would have to think that a compensated or uncompensated bridge saddle would affect both lengths.
This leads to a question. Why are guitars designed with compensated or uncompensated bridge saddles? Is the choice based on individual guitars geometry? Based on that question I would think that a guitar with a compensated saddle bridge would require replacement with the same design. If that is true, and that is the question, the Barbara’s intonation must be off if used on a guitar that was designed for a compensated bridge saddle.
But I could be talking out of my ......!
