As a recent "intonation discoverer" I now have a question regarding an upgrade I was planning on making with my beer guitar. I was going to put on a wraparound tailpiece/bridge on this guitar (it recently had a top-mount tremolo). The tailpiece/bridge looks like this:
So.... this is supposed to be an "intonated bridge" - but how do you adjust intotnation? Is it just set when the bridge is installed? Would it be better to opt for a fender-like bridge like this?
I also saw a "bad-ass" style bridge that appear to adjust intonation similar to tune-o-matic...
And a version that adjusts intonation at each post...
I'm confused... I wanted to minimize the hardware on this guitar, hence the wraparound style bridge, but I don't want to limit my intonation options... any thoughts out there? I'd like to stay away from tune-o-matic if I could...
By the way, I'm having a pro luthier install the bridge for me - I'm not touching that work just yet[/img]

It's possible to buy a wrap-around style bridge that is also adjustable for intonation (at least somewhat). Guitarfetish has an inexpensive one (I don't really know if it's "cheap" or not) that you could check out. Just a thought ...

My pictures are not working...
Here is a link to all the one's I'm looking at:

Here's another one to look at
1 watt of pure tube tone - the Living Room Amp!

The Wilkinson lightweight, adjustable, bridge/stopbar is the one I was thinking of. :D

All I'm seeing are top shots. I'd have to see some more angles (ie. underside) or hold one in my hands. I have no experience with those and wondered about them, myself.
It is a small world for metal fanatics. I welcome you fellow musicians, especially the metalheads!
