How to fix intonation ?
You know...in five minutes or less, with only a hacksaw , screwdriver, and superglue . TIA
Looking for a tutorial, I suppose. I'd rather not get into routing out the bridge , but if that's what it takes, I'll figger it out, but not by myself. oh, it's a Norman B-20.

What's not intonating properly? Oh, and BTW, you'll probably need a coat hanger as well.

Errr… when it's in tune high on the neck, it's out of tune low on the neck, basically. I had two guitars done with the BFTS and I liked them (Taylor and Lowden)

I usually use a sledgehammer for intonation adjustments but in your case it sounds like you need a bridge saddle setup for intonation. If you remember your Taylor had a “wave” style bridge saddle to correctly intonate the guitar. That may be the answer to your issue.

Subject to the nut / saddle and fret slots having been cut and located correctly.
A good nut and saddle with relatively straight neck is a good starting place for Intonation improvements. Further Improvements can then be gained with a compensated nut if required Steve

From what I've read, a properly cut saddle will set the intonation correctly. Like this site says:

What do you mean by "set the intonation correctly"? The intonation will never be perfect, so it's a matter of how good you want it. Adjustments to the saddle will only get you so far. Compensating the nut can further improve the intonation.

There was a long thread over at frets.net a couple years ago.
