I posted this as in a “hot or not” thread the other day. I ended up picking it up at a local store. It’s really fun to play and very different for me. I ordered a bridge humbucker for it, but I might just keep it as is for now. It’s fun to have different tonal possibilities.
That being said, I can’t get the damn thing to intonate. I changed the strings(came with 10’s) to 9s. I get all of the strings in tune, but if I play a chord, it is out of tune.
I tried adjusting the saddles by doing the following:
-Plugged into a tuner
-Played a harmonic at the 12th fret and get it tuned dead on
-Played the same note by fretting at the 12th fret
-If it's flatter than the harmonic, I moved the saddle towards the neck (& vice-versa)
I worked on it for over 2 hours last night and it’s just not getting there.
Someone told me to check the nut so I have to try that… but can anyone give me some additional ideas?
