First of all, let me start by saying that I hope this is the right place for this topic...
Alright, so my yellow LPS build is a few months old now, things seem to have settled in place, and overall I'm super happy with my project. But there are a couple of nagging little problems that seem to be getting slightly more aggravating as time goes on.
First, a minor TOM bridge gripe. My guitar is equipped with a Gotoh TOM bridge/tailpiece, and the low E string has a tendancy to slip down out of the slot in the bridge saddle. It doesn't actually affect the sound or the intonation that much, but it makes playing the low E feel weird, and it's annoying as hell. Can I just grab a file and make the slot a little deeper?
Second, a weird intonation problem. The intonation is fine all the way up and down the neck on each string, but even when the guitar is in tune, double stops on the G and B strings at the same fret sound way off. D and G are fine together, as are B and high E. Also, E-shape barre chords (an A at the fifth fret, for example) sound fine, but A-shape barre chords (i.e. A D at the fifth fret) do not. Any thought? This one has me stumped.
