Re: Intonation compensated saddle question
No expert here, just a lot of messing around ...
4 or 5 Hz seems like a huge amount. 4 or 5 cents (meaning 1/100th the error) would be not-uncommon for fretted instruments. Is it possible that the A nut slots are cut way too high? The would sharp the intonation up the neck. But ONLY the As, and on "both" instruments, seems unlikely.
Are you using wound A strings? If so, compenstion for the wound A should be longer than the D, not shorter than the D as per normal, and would need a new saddle. (Some folks seem to get by with their original saddle, which I don't quite get.)
