Just wondering what to do when you run out of adjustment room on a bridge saddle. I have put a new fender replacement bridge in a project i have been working on (MIM body 6-pt trem with vintage saddles) everything has worked out great except my low E string. It's is just a bit sharp when I set my intonation, and I have the saddle adjusted as far as it will go against the spring. All other strings setup, and intonation is spot on. Any ideas?

This is common, remove the spring for extra adjustment space.

You might try shortening that spring by one coil.
