Jared! That should be easy for a tool dude like yourself. All you need is a tuner and philips screwdriver. Tune the open string to pitch then fret it a the 12 fret and check the pitch on your tuner. If it is sharp, move the saddle back a bit. If it flat, move it forward. Retune then try again. Those screwey Rickenbacker bridges can complicate it but with a bit of practice it is not so hard to get it right. You know how to use high-powered welding equipment and you own a a kick-*** drill press. This stuff should be a piece of cake for you.

Hey Ted-
For a lazy so & so like me having someone else do it-priceless!
I've done the intonnation thang but patience is not a virtue with that RIC bridge!
NOw if I could convert all my RICs to use that hex screw that Paul Yan uses...

I'm lucky to live only a few miles from Rhoads Music. I had Jim do a setup on my 4003 a few weeks ago. Hell of a nice guy with very reasonable prices and that personalized touch.
Great shop!!!
