The intonation screw will bend slightly, but it can be bent back if needed. In most cases, this is all it takes to get a three saddle bridge to intonate properly, especially if your neck has a flatter radius like on the Highway 1's. Old school, but it works and it's free.

Hmmm....
I did wonder about something like that in that I know just my somewhat bone headed sloppy fingered playing the big frets creates intonation (tuning?) issues farther up the neck that aren't there when I'm doing something like playing open chords and my acoustics.
I see the Callahams look more like the compensation I ground into bone with one of my acoustics and they're less money than Glendales too. I would not mind warmer tone, but I have no idea of telling whether Glendale, Callaham or another would get that without spending more than it's probably worth.
