The bridge may need adjusting.

I'd spring for $10 for a new set of strings before I'd start adjusting
the guitar.

I've heard this before. How does a new set of strings solve a problem that
usually indicates improperly set intonation? I'm not saying it doesn't
work. I'm just wondering how.

Old strings often change the intonation, sometimes to a large extent. I have
no idea why, but I've seen it more than once.
