my first electric (1969) was a '65 Strat ... after tinkering with it a little, i realized the strings were a lot easier to bend if i ran the saddles all the way to the back of the bridge. then i noticed ... hmmm ... sounds a little funny on the high notes!

of course, everybody else was so out of tune, it didn't seem to matter much (this was before electronic tuners hit the scene). yikes!
