.4 or .5?
Okay, so I was recently given a Jasmine grand concert. and I noticed that the top of the saddle piece was sanded as opposed to the bottom. i noticed it was also uncomfortable (not in a high action way, just strings were not in proportionate to other strings) so I did the measurements, it read 6- .90, 5- .87, 4- .82, 3- .82, 2- .90 1- .76 (I know, really butchered). so I know that a .4 or .5 up from 1-6 strings are recommended. So I did exactly that 1 - .60 - 1 .80. alot more uncomftorable, and fret buzzy. so I shifted it back using shimmys. Why is this the case? There is no warping, truss rod and head slots all are okay. Also if I were to buy a new a new saddle, does the company keep in mind the .4 - .5 rule so all the customer has to do is sand it from the bottom?

When doing a saddle,
I radius the top of the saddle to the same shape as the fingerboard, then rough level it to desired height vee the bottom of the saddle, example Bass E 90 thou, treb E 70 thou. Intonate the positions and final size to the height vee bottom of saddle again. Steve Blank  Fretboard radius  Shape caul with sandpaper for top of saddle  Intonated  Process of sanding material from base, flat edge to achieve desired heights on the E strings
