Hi all,
I have a 2016 M20 that I bought used back in March of 2020, and while I've liked the guitar overall, I have always noticed intonation issues on the 1st and 2nd strings up near the 12th fret. It's off by approximately +20Hz.
The guitar doesn't have a compensated saddle, so recently I was thinking that maybe I could improve things if I replaced the stock saddle with a compensated one.
I bought a replacement compensated saddle off of the Guild store that is listed for use with USA models, but it too long/wide to fit the M20. I'm guessing that it was never meant for the M20.
At this point I was either going to try sanding down the one I bought from Guild's store, or I was going to just make my own from a bone saddle blank.
Will this even work, or am I just wasting my time?
Regards,
-Matthew
