Intonation Issue

[Mateo150]

I check my guitars intonation every week or so just to keep it good. Ran into a problem though. I use a telecaster (I don't like it). On the model I have, a custom, the intonation can be changed 2 strings at a time. The low E and A share a saddle, the d and g share one, and the d and e share another. So when changing the intonation, its done 2 strings at a time, which is a retarded setup. My high e string is fine, but my b string becomes flat. Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this? If I move the intonation so the b is Ok, the e string will be sharp.

This is one of the things that's always scared me away from Teles.
Apparently, it can be dealt with. It may involve a truss rod 'tweak' or, a shim in the neck pocket.
