Reaper Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Okay, so the intonation on one of my axes suddenly went out of whack. It's a fixed bridge, so no floyds to screw around with... I honestly can't say I know what caused it, it was fine one day, picked it up the next, and it just wouldn't tune properly... anyway, so I started on the low e, and backed the saddle as far as it went backward, which, while it helped, it didn't quite fix it. I'm out of room, and I don't know what to do next. Truss rod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 change strings before resetting intonation.intonation rarely just "goes out",but strings go bad ALL THE TIME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper Posted January 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Well, I tried that on the low E, and it's doing the exact same thing that the old one was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 What, guage are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mj_gant Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Some obvious things that could be an oversight: Same guage strings? Same tuning? No drop tuning I presume. When you say you replaced the E, did you by any chance buy a lot of strings that could have a problem with the low E in every pack? Is your tuner intonated? Just some food for thought...

When you say you replaced the E, did you by any chance buy a lot of strings that could have a problem with the low E in every pack? Is your tuner intonated? Just some food for thought... 1) yes, same guage, same brand (ernie ball Slinkies, 10-46) 2) Same tuning 3) It's happening on all strings... I just did the low E to see if anything changed. If nothing changed with the low E, I'm expecting that nothing's going to change for the better with the other five. 4) I'm doing this using the 12th-fret-harmonic process. Tuner or not, this bastard's off. Thanks for the replies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
