Wally,

That's an interesting point, I had not noticed the saddle being square to the strings. I wonder if that geometry was original or if it was done when the guitar was renovated a few years ago (by the guy I bought it from). You can't see from the picture but the bridge was removed and reglued about 2mm below its original position to get the intonation to work right. But the marks from the old placement were parallel to the current placement.

Is it unusual that the guitar now intonates correctly with the squared-off saddle? According to my strobe tuner it's pretty darned close, at least up to the twelfth fret which is as high as I checked.
