Sounds good huh - doh!

Fucking fantastic idea.

What i don't get is, if this is supposed to "intonate every single note", isn't that accomplished by simply adjusting the bridge saddles (on bridges w/ adjustable saddles)?

Besides, other factors affect intonation, like the height of the frets, neck curvature, and even your playing style (i.e. how hard you press down on the string between frets, where between the frets you press the string down on). Any explanation to this?
