I was excited to purchase the 245 SE model, and realize that it has a major flaw in the adjustable stoptail bridge. Has anyone found a fix, or a better replacement bridge?
My issue:
The screws to slide the saddles and adjust intonation are just floating in the hole. There is nothing that keeps them in-place except for the downward pressure of the sting. Issue is that as I play, the saddle starts moving forward since the screw is not holding anywhere.
This is causing some nasty intonation. I've looked for a replacement bridge, but the only models raise the strings too high up, creating really poor playing action.
Add the poor tuning pegs that had to be replaced, and we have a beautiful instrument with really low-end finishing touches.
