In this tutorial from HowAudio.com, brought to you by Synthesis.net, we discuss adjusting the intonation on a guitar with a Gibson-style stop bar Tune-o-matic bridge system. For more information visit HowAudio.com.
@Rtmax45 well if thats your preference, then go for it.. all I am saying is that out of anything that you can learn about your guitar, ajusting intonation is one of the simplest things =P
I probably wouldn't adjust my own truss rod, because that is where you can really f@(k up.. but with this, the worse you could do is mess up a string (or if you don't know how to use a screwdriver, mess up your finish.. =P)..
@woznotstoz I do know what he is talking about, but I have always had a pro tech do it. I have done intonation. I have a digital tuner, and chromatic tuner etc. I just don't want to fool around with the guitar other than keep it in tune. Now, my classical guitar needs the rod to be adjusted. I will take it to my guitar tech to check it, even though I know it needs adjustment. That's just my preference. I've been playing guitar a long time. Pros have messed up doing this.
I have a Les Paul that needs intonation set-up. I tried doing this, but the tuner always stayed near the same point no matter how much I turned the screw....

I wasn't trying to judge your experience =)
