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.<br><b>References : </b><br> 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.

But the saddles shouldn't be anywhere NEAR the back of the tailpiece. What strings have you got on it? If they're ridiculously light or heavy, then you'll have problems. (Get a real Les Paul - no issues at all :P) Start again, whip the strings off, set the saddles dead in the middle. Make sure you have enough space between each fret and the bottom of the string to slide a piece of folded paper in easily. Then try setting the intonation again.<br><b>References : </b><br> Not really. But the saddles shouldn't be anywhere NEAR the back of the tailpiece. What strings have you got on it?

Also, if it is really bad, you might have to take it into a shop, where they will adjust a metal rod that runs down the neck. (This metal rod is to support, and makes it able to straighten a bowing neck)<br><b>References : </b><br> Yes, hold on one minute please =P
