                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Intonation can be done using just about any guitar tuner. Here's how I was taught; connect tuner to guitar, play harmonic at 12th fret, then play fretted note at 12th fret also. Adjust the bridge saddle accordingly, until both the harmonic and fretted note match. Your tuner plays a vital role here. You can, in an emergency, set the intonation by ear alone. For greatest possible accuracy however, you need to use a tuner. The range nowadays is pretty broad, so there's one to suit most budgets. Don't know about the chromatic models; have never used one. Just bought a Fender AG-6 which I highly recommend.  :P]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[As Noteboat says, the standard intonation check is open or 12th fret harmonic against 12th fret note. However, if one has a good chromatic tuner it is better to check first the 3rd fret note against the 15th fret note to set intonation. This almost completely eliminates nut placement and height issues from the measurement and sets up the bridge properly against the frets. After this is complete, then do the open or 12th harmonic against the 12th fret note. If these are not tracking, then the guitar probably needs some nut work (too high or mis-positioned) to complete the intonation job.<br><br>-Greg]]></content:encoded>
