Mr. Hyde string straightens up and flies right.
A temporary anomaly after having replaced an adjustable bridge on an 80s Epiphone. I had the use of a hefty blank of bone, fit it just right, assisted by a guitar top that is actually flat. I compensated the saddle, went about the shaping process in my usual manner, so why was the 5 string going distressingly dull on the 12 fret? Son of a... The strings had been through a couple of pin removals, so maybe one had 'given up the ghost'. Next morning I noticed that the string had adapted and come into tune at the 12 fret, and the other strings remained in their good order. Reason suggests that the 5 string was initially out of sorts where it rides over my shaping of the saddle - the nut slots are untouched by me and don't crimp the strings. I've probably made a couple of hundred saddles, and was caught off guard when at least one law of the universe suddenly, if temporarily, deviated.

The guitar gods are toying with your head.... or whatever you're on, lay off for a while!

I can relate... it's wood. I read a thread awhile back about frets sticking out at the ends and retracting due to room conditions, even had a name for it that, escapes me now but these guitars can move all over the place.
