stip78,
If I understand you correctly, you are saying that you have tightened the G string saddle intonation screw all the way to the back of the bridge and touching the back portion of the plate. If this is the case you must not try to force the screw any further since this will result in stripping the screw or, ever worse, the saddle. I assume the G string is still sharp as you can't move the saddle far enough to the rear to lower to correct pitch.It sounds to me like you may have more than just an intonation issue.
If this is a new model JB you should take it back to the dealer and have a complete setup done. If not new, I would certainly take the guitar to a competant repair tech.Since 1987 the American Series Strats, including the JB, have the Biflex truss rod, neck tilt adjustment, and 2 point syncronized tremolo bridge with the stainless steel saddles. All of these work together to keep the entire system operating correctly. It takes a very competant tech to get the American Series functioning perfectly.
