Title: Causes of bad intonation
Post by: Toe-Knee on July 28, 2012, 11:44:30 AM

Hey guys. I've got my guitar and its perfectly tuned and intonated at the 12th fret but on the lower frets on the G string inparticular its quite far out being 23 cents sharp.

I have a feeling that it could be the nut that's causing this? The low strings are fine but the high strings are all sharp by at least 5 cents +

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'll be getting a kahler over the next couple of weeks and im thinking maybe an earvana compensated Floyd nut would help with this?

Thanks in advance
Tony

Earvana will fix this - and you can use it with a kahler nut too.

That's excellent news!

It's really had me baffled as I've never come across a guitar with issues so severe on the lower frets.

I figured it could be due to the nut height as its fairly high compared to on my other guitars.

Do you stock the earvana? If so what are the prices like on them? Also I shot you a PM regarding sperzel tuners as i'm after a set of those.

It would be excellent if I could get everything from the same place.

Thanks for your help
