I used a strip of ebony, shaped to the radius of the f/board to see if it would be a viable method of correcting intonation. The bridge (and saddle) on this guitar is 1/8" out of position and strip of ebony about that width, slotted and adjusted for height, corrected the intonation sufficiently. It's not QUITE as forgiving as saddle compensation, but it's certainly less invasive. I can't vouch for the durability of the fix yet, but I'm presenting it here for your consideration.

"What I've done for a number of years is to cut the fingerboard about 0.5MM short and then facet the nut so that the high E string and the D string both go back almost to the original nui position. The G string is left unfaceted and the others are placed in intermediate positions. Then I set the saddle setback according to the 12th-fret harmonic. It has been an improved system. Players consistently tell me that my guitars are more in tune than most guitars are. But I have never been fully satisfied with that solution, and I've learned just in doing this analysis that I really was not doing enough compensation at the nut."
