Changed strings on my Strat today and figured I should check its intonation. I have the guitar tuned 2.5 tones down, to B. I use the 6 bottom strings of a 7-string set.
The saddles of the two lowest strings are all the way inwards. The lowest string's length should still be increased to get proper intonation, but it can't go any further.
Do I have any options for fixing this issue? I suppose the only solution is changing the bridge to a one that has a wider range for its saddles.
EDIT: if I play a two note power chord with distortion now, on the two lowest strings in the 12th position, there is some beating going on.
