  • Thanks this helped a lot! what about if your using a floyd rose bridge set up?

  • cool i always rhought every individual string had to be adjusted to have perfect intonation. but u only have to adjust the fat string. sweet! thats why my guitar sounds like crap those idiots at the guitar store did every string. im gonna tell them they are idiots the next time i go there. if they ask me ill just say i found it on youtube. how can they argue with that.

  • @cire420nyc do you know how to check your truss rod? it could need adjustment, but be careful. there are some videos about it

  • I think it's the first video I've seen from expert village that is really usefull! lol

  • wow! I think it's the first video I've seen from expert village that is really usefull! lol

  • Hey people, I've adjusted my string length to the max, but the 12th fret is still sharp. Any ideas on how to fix it? or is it just a problem with Ashton guitars? :) Thank-you in advance

  • what if you adjust the saddle all the way up and it's still flat?

  • @dravidwake Dude thats a 24 dollar Korg tuner .... available at probably any music shop on the planet , shit i've even seen them at best buy and walmart .

  • @ADAMROCKS5 One thing though, if you happen to be giving your guitar a full service (like what I am doing) the intonation setting is best left until the bridge height has been sorted :)

  • Wow, thanks! My guitar sound awesome now!
