  • breaking the truss rod? I think it's very rare isnt it?

  • @MeLikeTheOthers It happens more often then one might think.

  • hi there, do you have a tutorial on how to adjust scale length, nut & saddle compensation? what is the correct length of each string from nut to saddle? because when i pressed down some string, it isn't in tune

  • @wildwestpoint In this video I explain how to adjust intonation on at the saddle. Some folks do it on the nut end as well. For compensation on my guitars I use 2mm added to the overall scale length.

  • Thanks a lot! It's just nice to listen and learn from a true professional!

  • Well explained. Adjusting intonation is much easier than I thought. Needed this, thanks!
