    Hello again, @Dean-Staff!

    Does your Tele have six screws to set the intonation (one for each string), or does it have three screws and three of the barrel saddles (one barrel for each pair of strings)? Mine had the old-school barrel saddles and I could never get the intonation right. It was my least favorite guitar because of that! But then I learned that you can get “compensated” barrel saddles that allow you to move the break point forward or backward for each string in a pair and I was able to get the intonation much better. That’s when it became my favorite guitar!

    If you go that route, I got the “Wilkinson Compensated Brass Saddles” for about $15 and it made a huge difference! Maybe the best money I ever spent on guitar gear!
