Thanks! Yeah man, you've got a spring you can take out. Here's a couple of things to examine and possibly do first:

1. After I remove the spring and reassemble the saddle unit, will the adjustment screw contact, and/or potentially pinch the string? If yes, then while disassembled, purchase a shorter screw, or cut that one down and re-thread the end.

2. After the saddle is positioned properly for intonation, will it actually cover the hole in the guitar where the string has to come out? If yes, then you're going to have to drill a channel for the string to come up further back in the top.
