LOL...at least it sounds impressive to audience members though. I've had considerable success using this method with my electric...less so on acoustic.

This is perplexing. Why would a quality builder with a reputation for great guitars not compensate their saddles? Is there a reason that is not obvious?

When I called Michael he claimed that when it left his shop, the intonation was corrrect and he said he typically doesn’t see these problems. So I don’t think he believes this type of saddle causes the problem. However he was happy to have it checked out and fixed on his dime. There was about a month between the time when it was completed and me having it adjusted. Maybe the wood moved around a bit? I have no explanation nor could I make recommendations to him about how he can improve - especially since many other guitars he build with un-compensated saddles are so good. But I can say after a very minor side step it’s the best guitar I own. I have had other high end (and not so high-end) guitars that were built with compensated saddles that have needed tweaking, so I suppose it can happen to any guitar. It is curious however.
