How Can I Set The Intonation On My Guitar Better?

Filed under:  gibson les paul electric guitar  by:  admin

Q:  I have an Epiphone Les Paul standard and I’ve lowered the bridge and backed up the saddles, both as far as possible and the octave notes on the 12th fret of each string are all still too sharp. Is there anything else I can do?


A:
  If you’ve lowered your action and adjusted your saddles and your strings still go sharp, it could be something wrong with your truss rod. At this point, you should take your guitar in to have the truss rod adjusted. You could do it yourself, but you would risk breaking your truss rod, and replacing that is a very nasty and expensive process.
