Hello everyone, first time poster here and recent convert to Guild guitars. I got a starfire IV from the Mid 90's today and it is an amazing guitar in every respect but one: The bridge. I'm not a big fan of the TOM bridge (I would have preferred a floating one honestly) because it never seems to intonate right for me. Once again, the TOM has let me down.
The high E saddle is cranked as far as it can towards the neck and it's still flat. All of the saddles are pretty far up, actually, but they all have room to move. The intonation is just about spot on, but I really would prefer it to be perfect, or at least have some room to work with. So I ask those of you who have RI starfires IV's: What bridge are you using? Mine has a gotoh japan 103 (I think). I have no idea if it's the stock bridge. Any other tips on fixing this scenario would also be appreciated!
