Acoustic guitars generally are "pre set" from the factory... I've only seen a couple of Yamaha's that came with adjustable saddles.
I also have seen a few bridges that are pre cut to a setting... but they didn't help my old cheapie acoustic... I think thats one of those "you get what you pay for" things.
Remember, wherever you go... there you are.

Resetting intonation on an acoustic is a job for the pros.

I've got to replace the saddle on my yamaha FG312, I'll have to take it into the music shop, is that the best idea or can a more skilled guitarist I know do it.

Ask him. If he can spot the problem and fix it, why not.
