@Cadorman - Try this. Take your .026" file (assuming a .046" set) and recut the saddle groove with a slight angle down towards the tailpiece and then retest...

This was I was about to suggest. There may not be enough of a break angle on that string.

I thought about that. It would be easier to jack up the action temporarily to check this out.

Interesting. I'll see what I can do.

@Cadorman - I've had guitars come in with that 'sitar' sound from a burr in the nut.

You have to get left handed strings to go with the left handed bridge.

If you use normal strings, the signal is inverted. Hence the need.

I put the stock chrome bridge on this morning and tuned up. The problem is gone. I'm ordering a new gold bridge for it.

Good thing I'm done with it for now.

I'm kind of stuck again.
