Hello everyone! This is my first time posting here.
I have checked the projectguitar.com and I haven't found anything about my problem yet.
I use Jackson guitar with 11-52 gauge Blue Steel strings. Originally the guitar came with the set of 9-42, tuned on E. I have my guitar tuned on D, with floyd tremolo set in line with the guitar body.
I have a problem with the intonation. The saddle of the lowest D string is moved as far from the neck as possible and it is still a tiny bit sharp. All others are very nice set and there's still some room to place the saddle a bit further from the neck.
This strange issue is killing me for half a year. I have tightened the truss rod, till it wasn't almost completely tightened (when tightening, some noise produced during the job, so I loosened just a bit, so I made it sure). What can I do? Should I change string gauge? I really like 11-52, because smaller gauge is too floppy for me in D.
Others tell me to screw out the truss rod, lay my guitar on a desk with front panel, lift the neck a bit and then starting to screwing the tross rod back in while holding the body down and pulling the neck towards me (gently).
I am a bit sceptic about the last suggestion, even though it sounds like a wise advice.
Thanks a lot!
