Intonating with a Floating Bridge?

[Ravon]

My X170 with a floating bridge reads different on a fretted note at the 12th fret than it does on an open note. I'm using a Snark SN8 'Supertight'. How do members here intonate with a floating bridge? Thanks

What he said. I use the high E/low E method with my Gretsch Space Control bridge.

Thanks Brad, never thought of keeping just the high and low E to pitch and the rest slack .

Yeah, I forget about that, too. Need to do my X-170 as well, I don't really notice the minor discrepancy unless I'm playing with other guitarists, then it shows up. I'm waiting because I'm thinking about putting on the Gold Guildsby I bought and that would mean changing the wooden bridge for something else.
