Guitar Bridge Saddles

Electric Guitar Sharp Octave?
I just recently bought a new guitar, its an Ibanez g10 with a tremolo bridge. The problem is the g string can be perfectly in tune, but when the octave is played it is noticeably sharp. I have tried loosening and tightening the bridge saddles but that doesn’t really affect anything. Please help if there are any experienced guitar techs out there!!!
First, make sure your neck is correctly adjust before messing with the saddles. It is likely that your neck is either twisting or pulling forwards to have that happen. Once your neck is properly adjusted, you should adjust the saddles accordingly. When you move the saddles, they should be moving towards or away from the neck, not up and down towards the body. However, both directions can effect the intonation.
