Oh I see. Sorry about that. I wondered from the pics if it was off the edge, seems a bizarre oversight given the precision of everything else.

I thought Gotoh made a narrower string spacing for teles, but I can't be sure. Sorry about the issues though, thats a kick in the nuts.

The same happened to one of my guitars when the frets were beveled too much and the string would just slide off. I ended up selling that guitar as the fix wasn't as straightforward.

Godspeed.

Thanks and no worries - sometimes the simplest thing can be the answer to a problem so I welcome all suggestions. I've actually just finished swapping the saddles for the original Fender steel threaded ones and have done a setup. I am very happy and quite surprised how well they intonate - they're as good as the compensated saddles. Maybe that's testament to how well made the guitar is! But I still need to sort out the after-effects of her having eaten all the pies...

Your new guitar look beautiful mate, hope you can make peace with it. For your reference, My 90s usa strat is Alder, has a 'swimming pool' pickup route and still weighs in at 4kg... (9lb). I use a nice wide leather strap, which helps.
