Yeah, it's definitely a problematic compromise...

Setting the action higher is the only remaining way to increase the string distance
enough to correctly intone the open string.
But it's not great for overall playability.

Until I can find an affordable wider travel replacement bridge.

There is a Gotoh wide bridge for about £30
but I'm not certain that's going to be wide enough.


This is why I'm not too keen on tune-o-matic bridges.

You're at the mercy of guitar manufacturing quality control inconsistencies;
trusting that the drilled holes for seating bridge posts
have been located precisely.

Even in this age of CNC Woodworking Machinery they can still get it wrong......
