Lately, I've been more discombobulated than usual. So, likely the problem is with me and my muddled thinking.
I'm having intonation problems with a blue Studio with a wraptail. It came with a Wilkinson style wraptail bridge with an adjustment feature for the 2nd & 3rd strings (I don't know if that's original).
The problem that I'm having is with the 6th string. With the adjustment screw about where you'd expect it to be, it's 20 cents sharp. I can make relatively small adjustments to the screw to it, to get it 15 cents sharp. From there, I can't seem to get it below 10 cents sharp, regardless of how extreme the adjustments to the fairly long screw. It seems to defy physics.
I've tried three different tuners and while the precise amounts differ somewhat, the phenomenon is the same.

Any suggestions for what I'm overlooking?
