| Post subject: | Guitar Intonation.. |
Hello.. I have a problem and its really annoying me. I have an intonation problem with my guitar. It NEVER used to be this bad but now, the lower E string and the B string have really bad intonation problems. All of the other strings are fine, just those two. The guitar played fine and then I let my friend borrow it for about a month and a half and he didn't have heat in his house and now that I have it back, it has terrible intonation. These are the notes in standard tuning: 6th string open:E 12th harmonic:E 12th fret:E 5th string open:A 12th harmonic:A 12th fret:A 4th string open:D 12th harmonic:D 12th fret:D 3rd string open:G 12th harmonic:G 12th fret:G 2nd string open:B 12th harmonic:B 12th fret:Really low B 1st string open:E 12th harmonic:Doesn't work, I have to go to the 13th fret to get the harmonic to sound. But when i sounds, its a perfect E. 12th Fret:Exactly an Eb. Please, can anyone help me!? This is driving me nuts! -Brgr |

You might start by putting a new set of strings on to make sure the problem is not within the strings. |

Could it really just be the strings? -Brgr |

Oh yeah! Particularly if they've been over stretched or something. Plus, they have to be more than a couple of months old. That's pretty old for strings that have been played much. |
