Intonating the RG9147NTG (2 HiRes Pics)

Yah, I finally got around to it. It's in A standard with 10-59's. I was surprised how much the A saddle needed to go back, and the pinch harmonics are jumping off the guitar like crazy now.

They were a little 'airy' before with the misplaced sweet spots on each string.
I also shimmed the nut (the bass side needed a thinner shim), and readjusted the trem and pickup height. Then I threw the springs into a /|\ for a little more tension cause I was running out of claw. It took a little time but it plays like a dream now. Pics or it didn't happen:
