Hi
 I've been wondering lately, why is it advised to put a new set of strings to adjust intonation of the guitar? When you put a new set of strings they tend to go out of tune easily, specially just after re-stringing... why choose that moment to adjust intonation? Wouldn't it be easier doing it with a used set of strings that are in tune already? I'm sure there must be a reason for having to put a new set of strings, but I don't know why!, any information on the matter much appreciated! Oh, and another doubt: I guess that once the intonation is adjusted for a certain string gauge, there should be no need to re-adjust it each time you re-string, as long as you keep using the same gauge, is that correct? -------------------- Guitars:
