I bought a new Heritage H150 over the summer. At first I thought all was well until I changed the strings. I had to top wrap the strings over the tailpiece because they were hitting the TOM bridge behind the saddles. That’s no big deal. The problems started when tried to intonate the bridge.
Low E and A string saddles are all the way forward, and I still cannot get them to intonate as they are both 5-10 cents flat at the 12th fret. The other strings will intonate, but they are also almost completely all the way forward. The H150 came with a Faber Tone-Lock TOM bridge.
I had a spare Gotoh TOM bridge laying about. I swapped it on the guitar, which did not solve the problem.
The rest of the setup is fine. The action is 4/64” at the 17th fret on the low and high E strings. Relief is 0.002” at the 7th fret. Intonation was set each time with new strings.
So, I’m nearly certain the bridge was placed too far back and needs to be moved toward the neck. is this possible? Any other options that anyone is aware of?
