>>I think the knock on the 450 is the non-adjustable bridge, but the two six strings I own have great intonation. <<
I have a stock 450/12 string and it has great intonation.I have always marvelled at how simple the bridge design is and yet how well it works. The guitar is easy to tune, it stays in tune and is a pleasure to play. I've dragged it in and out of many clubs and rehearsal spaces, ones hot as blazes in summer and cold as it gets in winter (my playing days were spent in Chicago.) It's 40 years old, is going strong and is great as is.
