Setting the intonation adjusts the length of the string to correct for flatness/sharpness on each string. This is a simple process that 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, move the saddle away from the neck by turning the saddle adjust- ment screw (Figure 40) clockwise. If this note is flat in comparison, move the saddle toward the neck.

Note: This can also be done with an elec- tronic 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.

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