1 - the rattle

2 - the intonation

Unless I've really misread it all.

Can anybody help on this one?

And if you've got an Ibanez for $15 then I figure you've got a pretty good deal even if it's not completely fixable.

I put on new strings and tried to set the intonation. would not happen. I took out the tremelo bridge and put a fixed bridge over the hole. (the fixed bridge anker screws were on the out side of the tremelo hole-so I drilled them and put on the fixed bridge)

2 problem occurred.

1. the saddles rattle mostly on the thick E and A strings.
2. the intonation just will not work. i.e. on the 1st 2 strings when you use the tuner the intonation appears to be set, but when you play the E note on the B string at the 17th fret the pitch is off (even though it is good on the 5th fret)

I got a cheap bridge because I do not have a lot of cash to fix up this gtr. not that it is even worth fixing up, but would like to have a practice gtr that will stay in tune and intonation is good.
