Another solution is Marc Rutters' intonated saddles, which he does with a carefully positioned groove. I like them a lot.
Hey, many thanks for that reply.

I think I will live with it as I dare not mess with the overall sound of the guitar too much as I love it.. I might just go for a little work on the back side of the saddle...what tool would you use for that job?

Thanks in advance
