Open and 12th fret intonation adjustments are often inaccurate anyway -- depends too highly upon a correctly setup nut -- and many are not. To mitigate this problem, match the second fret note to the 14th.]]></content:encoded>

I know if the intonation on my guitars isn't close to perfect it can drive me nuts because I have a pretty good ear and it just sounds out of tune to me.

Thanks Nils..I know how to change the innotation...it's just that no matter which way I turn the screws I can't get it perfect. If I get the 12th fret in tune the open string is out of tune..and vice-versa...<br><br>It was getting annoying after a while.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I've gotten "pretty good" intonation on my '51.  One thing I noticed it that I've got three different size adjustment screws!  Shows you the quality control of these Indonesian-made guitars.  On my A string I've got the saddle all the way to the end of the screw, just before it falls out, and the string is just barely in tune both open and at 12.  Of course, this is the shortest screw!  I've been too lazy to swap the saddles around.  <br><br>A bigger problem I've got is that a string will be sharp at the 5th fret even though it is in tune open and at 12.  I think this may be a nut height problem; not sure.  It's worst on my low E string, but makes relative tuning at the 5th fret impossible for me.<br><br>Bottom line, I think, is that if it sounds good to your ear, let it be.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I just replaced the crappy Fender .09's on my Squier '51 with Dean Markley Blue Steel  .10's and it sound MUCH better. I only had to adjust the string height a tiny bit which was nice. One thing I did notice though is that I can't seem to get an exact match with an open string and fretting on the 12th fret like Nils has on his site. I did all the adjustments but it doesn't seem to have an effect or it has too much of an effect. I am not off by much maybe one to one and a half lights on the tuner on my V-Amp2 (I know that probably means nothing to you!).<br><br>Does the innotation have to be EXACT or will this little bit be OK? It sounds fantastic and fretting individual notes sounds fine to my ear.<br><br>Thanks]]></content:encoded>
