Quick Tip: Adjusting Bridge Saddles for Intonation

A short demonstration of how to adjust your electric guitar's bridge saddles for intonation.
Remember to do this periodically and every time you change string gauges!
*This video only covers saddle adjustments. Other things that affect intonation, for example truss rod adjustments, are beyond the scope of this video and will be covered in future videos.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the lesson, I was having a lot of trouble with my tune-o-matic bridge, but this cleaned the sound of my ESP right up.

Thanks, smokybrick!  I appreciate that. Sometimes I think I am a little verbose, but I really can't help it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

ACTUALLY PECKER ROE, YOU WANT THE OPEN STRING (NOT THE TWELFTH FRET HARMONIC) TO BE THE SAME AS THE TWELFTH FRET NOTE - WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU - DAMN STUPID ASS VIDEOS!

Excellent. How would you do this on a floyd rose tremlo? The screw to adjust the saddle is under the string. I guess i have to take the whole damn set off? Even if i could get under the string to undo it, it would presumably make things go flying
