Adjusting Your Guitars Intonation

Thanks for this topic and great explanations Marcus - nothing is more frustrating than playing with a poorly intonated guitar!

This is an awesome addition to GMC.. a must see lesson. Thanks Marcus.. This was very well presented

Very useful!

this is really really awesome Marcus. I personally think that this is an important part of the road to become a great guitarist, you always can send your guitar to a luthier, but, to know your guitar in detail it's priceless! I think that's the way to get a real connexion with your instrument. thanks for this add!

that's right lian, it is SUPER important to know your guitar upsidedown, priceless lesson marcus!

Thanks Marcus !!! I will adjust my intonation today ....

YEAH! Another Marcus Siepen hand work lesson I loved the pup-change lesson, so this will be cool as well. I love the humor in these lessons

This is very useful, because i think a lot of players don't know how to do this. I guess I will give it a try one of the days of this week

Wow Marcus.. You're so clever coming up with lessons that nobody else here makes. This is essential to novice and intermediate players and I hope everyone checks this out. Thank you on behalf of everyone here Marcus

Great lesson Marcus! I have to check my guitars intonation now, though I think it should be 'right since I've tried to keep it adjusted.

No more paying for setting up my guitar! Poor luthier guy, he really seemed happy to have my schecter for few days from time to time:D

Great explanation, it worked!

This a very useful topic, and super well expalined. Thanks Marcus!

Wow, this is a great topic! A lot of new guitarists have similar problems, this is a lesson that will help them a lot!

This lesson will leave lot of luthiers out of work, excellent explanations and lesson Marcus

One of the 'must do' lessons,well done Marcus

Brilliant, useful, extremely necessary!!

I agree about the changing your strings one at a time, but what about cleaning the fretboard with lem oil? Don't you have to take them all off for that? Also, when adjusting the intonation, should I loosen the strings? I mean, isn't that string sliding in that groove not good for it? Anway, great lesson! Very informative.

Very usefull lesson ! I always have intonation problems (due to my recent mistake which was changing all string at once) so I buy new strings ASAP and I'll check this out

I'll really appreciate this lesson. I came back for a refresher. getting my guitar into perfect intonation.

Hi Marcus !

What a great lesson and the first time for me that i seriously thinking about to try this adjusting by my self .

My old Epi LP junior must get first into this experience before i try it with other guitars .

Thank you a lot !

Hi Marcus i just made the setup first time in Life and it works great -- thank you very much !

Greetings Marcus
Thank you so much for fantastic explanation!

It's great that Marcus had this idea - it's a much debated topic, ain't it?

Great lesson man. Although if I am making intonation adjustments I would de tune the string prior to moving the intonation screw to take the tension off the string. Maybe I'm wrong?
