    hey here’s an idea how about you mention that when you turn the screw on the bridge saddle the harmonic goes out of tune so then you have to tune the string again. in most cases this is a vicious cycle where you tune your string then tune the screw and tune the string and tune the screw until the saddle screw comes out. no guide seems to mention this.

    thank you. i never bothered about the screws and took notice about this thing with the octave to be fine.

    does the level of the saddle affect the intonation?

  9. guitarslf132 on January 15th, 2010 8:02 am

    once you have set the intonation should you ever have 2 change it again.
    it doesnt matter where u put the saddles on my guitar when it has new strings the intonation is perfect.but after about a week hte high strings go flat and if you move the saddles right to the top and rite to the bottom it doesnt make a difference>
    HELP

    a. check amp and cables for problems
    b. get new guitar
    c. replace pickups (for strat single coils dimarzio or lace sensors are good)
    d. get the boss ns-2 that eleminates all buzzkill and feedbacks (worth the investment)

  11. haedadru on January 17th, 2010 2:27 am

    Did you try tuning the strings? I mean not the saddles, but the machine heads?

  12. weaponx29 on January 17th, 2010 6:37 pm

    uhm dude…my guitar is new…but its only local made…not a fender….and im using a zoom g1x…maybe i should consult a guitar technician..

  13. weaponx29 on January 17th, 2010 6:56 pm

  14. CoombesKidd on January 17th, 2010 7:01 pm

    if ur desperate get the boss ns-2, it gets rid of all buzz and feedback no matter what amp, guitar, and effects you use
