Brandon asks Chris our in-house guitar tech to take us through some intonation fixes. - Hudba
Very good tips. Thanks
I have an Epiphone SG Special and there is no saddle bridge piece. Just the Bridge itself. There are two tiny screws that go in the back at each end, the left and the right, but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. My pitch is higher than usual, how do I fix this?
What fixes, set the intonation at the 19th fret?
Ok, i set the intonation at the 12'th fret and my Byrdland measures 11 7/8" at center of 12'th. When i measure from nut to where the strings hit at the bridge it shows 24 3/4". Guitar sounds great but why the big difference? It should be 23 3/4" but it is 24 3/4" .
I nitpicked about intonation for years but I think as long as you just set it at the 12th fret and remember not to squeeze too hard then that's about as good as it gets. I even have one of those crazy true temperament necks with curvy frets and it tempers E and A-shaped barre chords out but at the expense of other shapes like C and G shapes. Now the idea seems ridiculous to me and I've learned to ignore the slight differences in pitch. It's most notable on basic major and minor chords really and not as much on 4-note chords.
What if i ran out of space adjusting moving towards neck?
my strat ran out of space to and still, i didn't know the answer
me too wtf
I wouldn't have the space on my Byrdland copy either.
After I set my intonation, my open chords sound terrible. How do I fix this?
Stuart Davis when you set intonation you make an overall, don’t put it to specs and leave it there. Check the third, 5 and 12 frets and adjust to have the best overall
Make sure your nut is filed low enough and lighten your grip.
Well that was a completely useless waste of bandwidth. Dude says set the intonation higher up the neck, gives no info on how he does it. Dude says there are many steps involved, speaks of none of them. This could have actually been informative and helpful and instead it was just irrelevant babble.
I think he means up at the 19th fret.
Agree. This was a commercial.
Could barely hear the tech.
Oh wow, thanks for showing us how to do this! Not.
Simple don't buy a Gibson, there cheap, disgusting and nothing compared to what they used to be back in the 80's. They also happen to be bankrupt.
I haven't really played around much with the new ones (I'm a PRS guy) but their old ones are pretty sweet. But they are waaaay overpriced in today's market.
Hilarious! /.... also *they're
