On nearly all my Taylors, the 12th fret harmonic on the low E string is several cents sharper than the note produced by the fretted string at the 12rh fret. This seems not to be true for the414rce, however--its harmonic matches the fretted note. The discrepancy has been greatly reduced, however, since ditching the stock Tusq saddles for Colosi bone saddles.

Yes, I had the same problem Sandy had. Intonation problems on the low strings 12th fret note/harmonic. Possible answers:
-Bob Colosi at www.GuitarSaddles.com. He won't stop until he fixes the problem
-Buy a different guitar. ;-)
I suggest a Ryan ;-)
