Dang, it sure took long enough. Considering that people have been (mostly) playing unwound G strings for half a century or so, and the solution is dead-simple. Yakked about by thousands, accomplished by a neighbor of mine:

If he keeps it up, the kid might amount to something someday. |

i dont like either of them. you need to adjust the G string by itself. it HAS to travel more than the others.
whats wrong with a 6 individual adjustment tele bridge? here is a $39 gotoh. you can spend more, but this lets you tweak each string back and forth for intonation and up and down for action. ive installed dozens of these with no issues.

The old "Microfrets" guitar, from the 60/70's had an adjustable nut for the G string to help get it to intonate correctly.
Leon Rhodes was the Nashville rep at one time. |

My '07 American tele would play out of tune on some frets. I added a compensated nut. It cured it. Big E string is still a little sharp at the 3rd fret but that is my only complaint.
