But why would that be a deliberate design feature over all of Ridenour's lines. And if it isn't a design feature, it would indicate that the bridge keys on the instruments you mention are all out of optimal adjustment. If that's the case, why wouldn't you want to get the bridge keys adjusted back to optimal - whether you do it yourself or bring it in to an experienced tech?
