the guy who sold you saddles was probably referring to intonation not (de-)tuning. if a saddle is not positioned correctly, then notes on the string will not be in tune (or within a reasonable tuning error) as you move further (in frets/notes) away from the note at which you tuned. this is not de-tuning of the string, but errors "piling up" as you play further from the tuned note, which is usually open-string for electronic tuners and open/fifth or forth fretted note by ear tuning. the adjustments at the bridge are meant to compensate for the natural imperfections of a string, which become more apparent as the string becomes shorter (playing notes on the higher frets). if you need instructions on setting up your bridge saddle, then look or search under intonation adjustments.

going out of tune -- de-tuning -- can be caused by weakening old strings, new unstretched strings, funky trems, poor tuners, sticky or binding nuts and/or string trees, bad string rapping techniques on tuner capstans.]]> Opinions and Polls gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/squire-affinity-tele/paged/2/#post-318595 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/squire-affinity-tele/paged/2/#post-318589 Thu, 15 Jan 2009 00:21:11 +0000
I would definatley put these guitars up against any guitar that costs twice the money.
The really nice thing about this one was that the little mom and pop shop I go to for most of my stuff had one that someone had put on layaway and then just quit paying on. They let me have it for what was left to pay off on the layaway- $74.38]]> Opinions and Polls teleplayer324 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/squire-affinity-tele/paged/2/#post-318589 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/squire-affinity-tele/paged/2/#post-318577 Wed, 14 Jan 2009 21:31:13 +0000 Opinions and Polls jaguar https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/squire-affinity-tele/paged/2/#post-318577 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/squire-affinity-tele/paged/2/#post-318539 Wed, 14 Jan 2009 08:57:36 +0000
here's link to a fan/discussion site for your guitar: http://www.jag-stang.com/jsIndex.php

might be some good tips and help there.]]> Opinions and Polls gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/squire-affinity-tele/paged/2/#post-318539 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/squire-affinity-tele/paged/2/#post-318536 Wed, 14 Jan 2009 07:50:58 +0000 http://home.roadrunner.com/~nils/BasicGuitarSetup.htm

So, by adjusting them, you mean to raise the string height, or, to set intonation? Look at that link. He's got both.

As far as going out of tune, how is that happening? Any pops or noises? Only on one string? Does this have a trem? How's the guitar stored? Etc. Any info you can give us.....
