Setting Intonation

Setting the intonation adjusts the length of the string to correct for flatness/sharpness on each string. The adjustment is simple, but this proce- dure takes a lot of trial and error.

To set the intonation:

 

1.Lightly touch and then release the 1st string directly above the twelfth fret as you pluck the string to play a harmonic note.

2.Now pluck the string while holding it fretted at the twelfth fret. If this note is sharper than the note played in step 1, you will need to move the saddle away from the neck. If this note is flat in comparison, move the saddle toward the neck.

3.De-tension the strings and adjust the sad- dles of the Model H6082 and H6083 with a Phillips screwdriver, or adjust the Model H6086 with a hex wrench.

3.Repeat steps 1–2until the string is in tune. Repeat the process for the rest of the strings.

NoteThis procedure can also be done with an electronic tuner by tuning the harmonic note to be exactly in tune and then adjusting the saddle until the note played in step 2 is also in tune.
