I was to a PLEK tech with 2 of my guitars and while one of them became better than original (they had to reradius because the fucking fretboard was 12" but then locking nut was 14" so they made a 14-16" compound"

But my main Warmoth was harder to play then when I brought it in, and the intonation was weird

They talked about some "compensated intonation" but that didn't sound good to my previous recordings so I can't use that

So I lowered the strings a bit and now it's easy to play, but when I was re-intonating the saddles became WEIRD!!!

See? I use STANDARD E TUNING with regular Daddario 10-46 strings

That looks weird, look at the two thickest strings!

Shouldn't the saddles be lined up like this one below? I remember intonating like this before and that worked, but now when I intonate, it has too look like above picture, because otherwise the strings are sharp... HOW COMES?

Probably because it has compensated intonation.

 

[Rocka_Rollas]

Probably because it has compensated intonation.

Noooo, the intonation looked "kind of normal" when I got it back.

That was how it looked when I had to set it when intonating

I even wrote that in the OP

 

[Mattayus]

I'm not sure I understand your complaint. Are you saying the saddle(s) should be further back than they are, because they are usually?

 

[RGhoarder]

misread the op

 

[drawnacrol]

Whats compensated intonation? Did they change the nut?

Is your guitar intonated correctly there? The saddle positions are off or standard tuning.

It's some weird intonation thats a little over on some strings and a little too little on some strings, I dont know how that works but it didn't sound right to my previous recordings so I had to reset the intonation to "generic intonation" like I usually do

I dont know the tuner (both Kemper and my stomptuner) says its correct...

Yeah, usuaslly they look lined up like the saddles on the picture below

But now E and A or way front but they sound okay, I guess...

This has happened before too!

 

[playstopause]

Does it really matters how the saddles are aligned if the intonation is ok?

 

[Naren]

Looks completely normal to me. :scratch:

 

[Rocka_Rollas]

Yeah it looks weird

Actually I snapped a string and had to replace the strings and checked again... Now I had to set intonation again!

Look, now it looks better!

 

[playstopause]

But who cares how it looks if the intonation is ok?!?

you know who cares......

 

[playstopause]

Yup. :lol:

i mean, you have to know already that it doesn't matter what it looks like as long as the notes ring in tune right? you HAVE to know this. Please.

 

[RGhoarder]

This reminds me of the time he said his intonation was "too perfect" :lol:

 

[Toshiro]

Were the strings new? There might've been an imperfection in that one string.

 

[BigM555]

Were the strings new? There might've been an imperfection in that one string.

:agreed: That was going to be my suggestion as well. Very rarely you will get a string or two with some kind of defect that prevents them intonating "normally". Sometimes the easiest thing to do is to toss the strings and try another.

 

[Angrychair]

intonated is intonated. Doesn't matter how it looks.

 

[Rocka_Rollas]

But i get uncomortable with weird looking stuff, it makes me think all the time "is it WRONG, or does it just LOOK?" and I can't relax

This reminds me of the time he said his intonation was "too perfect" :lol:

That was my Evertune guitar I had a while

It was GOOD that it intonated well but it has to intonate with the other guitars tooooooo

 

[budda]

No it doesn't have to intonate with other guitars :lol: it just needs to be in tune and intonated. If your other guitars aren't as precise, then either you get them there or you don't use them on those tracks.
