OK, I did find one site,

Here's what the Strobo Stomp rep says on their forum, but neither of my Suhrs are intonated this way:

Buzz Feiten Intonation Procedure for Electric Guitar (BFTS)
After deciding on string gauge, setting string height (nut & bridge), neck relief � factors that will later affect the guitars intonation considerably � the individual string lengths need to be adjusted. For this task, enter both the open string and 12th fret intonation offsets into the P-1 and P-2 programmable slots on your StroboStomp, VS-II or V-SAM tuner.

Settings to be entered into P-1:
Note________Open String Offsets
E___________________00
B__________________+01
G__________________-02
D__________________-02
A__________________-02
E__________________-02 (on VS-II and V-SAM tuners, use F = -2)

Settings to be entered into P-2:
Note__________12th Fret Offsets
E___________________00
B___________________00
G__________________+01
D__________________+01
A___________________00
E___________________00

I have a new Turbo Tuner and would like to program them in, but I can't seem to find them anywhere online.

One of the really good guitarists around here was listening to me play my Suhr. The first thing he said was that it was unusually sweet and in tune in the higher registers. He noticed it right away.

I really like the BFTS on my Suhr, but it does "sound a little different" than the usual guitar without it.

The nut has no offset unless you get the optional Feiten system.
Due to the confusion of making the system optional we will probably be dropping it in the beginning of next year. It can always be installed by a retrofitter

Thank you for the reply, Mr. Suhr! Just so I am clear, since I ordered the BFTS, the nut itself will be a genuine Suhr nut, with the Feiten displacement, but will not come with the bridge intonation offsets; is that correct?

Suhr Guitar Talk :: Callaham bridge on a Classic T

Subject: Callaham bridge on a Classic T

I just replaced the stock Gotoh bridge and saddles on my Classic T with one of Bill Callaham's Tele-style bridges with steel saddles. I liked the Gotoh fine enough, and it intonated fine, but the full lip around the bridge is not comfortable for my style of picking. I like the cut-away on the Callaham and decided to try the steel saddles (I have other Callaham bridges with brass saddles). Can't say I hear a huge difference, but the lack of the lip on the bottom of the bridge is nice. This is such a great guitar. I have other Tele's, but this one gets the most time out of the case!

Suhr Guitar Talk :: RE: So what is the difference between the 1088 and the 510?

I was persuaded not to swap my 1088 for the 510 on my classic because it's a pretty major job.

I set about improving my 1088 instead.

I fitted a brass block from killerguitarcomponents and Graphtech Ferraglide saddles.

I'm very very happy with the results.

It doesn't seem like there are many od100se+ heads in Japan. I don't think I have ever come across one. Is it just me or is that an accurate statement? anyone have any insight into this? I would like to give one a test drive here.

SO what is the tone difference between both bridges?

both with steel block

510 is much more solid and fat sounding, the saddles are also much harder like vintage compared to the 1088. The 510 has an adjustable arm system and massive posts compared

The last post on here was quite a while ago. Does anyone know if the BFTS guitars still come with the Suhr nut, and tuned without the intonation offsets? That is what I would like . . . a genuine Suhr nut, set in relation to the first fret as specified by the BFTS, but without the intonation offsets.
