Your saddles are too high then, probably the vintage type they originally used on the three point.
Those early 3-points I've had used two *really tall* saddles in the A&D slots, and that narrow radius it creates makes it hard to get a good setup.
I usually reorder the saddles so that the two highest ones sit under the E&A string, and the two lower ones are in the D&G slots... and then tilt the base accordingly using the outer studs. Wonky? Yes!
Here's one I did last night. Might shim the D up just a bit, but otherwise it setup nicely after "the tilt":
And back on the Badbird subject, that looks mighty fine. Congrats on your accomplishment, Scott!
