I doubt the color matters, and those Gibson-style
bridges are easy enough to adjust. Each string
has a screw for intonation adjustment and the
bridge has a thumb screw at each end for action (string height) adjustment.
A lot of this is easy enough, once you get
someone to show you the correct processes. yes,
that includes adjusting the trus rod. Feeler
gauges may help if you want to keep track of your
ideal string height, for example. The thumb
screws can be turned by hand. A small Philips or
slot screwdriver adjusts the individual saddle
screws when setting intonation. Your guitar may
have come with the correct tool for adjusting the
trus rod. Never adjust more than a quarter turn -
an eighth of a turn would be better - and always
give the guitar time to settle after each
adjustment before re-evaluating the amount of neck curvature.

Subject: Re: Question about recording guitar
yeah, it’s a bit of tryale and error.
Generally i much prefer a guitar tech to do this
work. But i have gotten myself out of
trouble. What sort of guitar do you have, if
it’s a stratt or Tele, there are 6 little
screws on the back of the bridge. These adjust
the string length. So normally what i do is hit
the string open, and then play the harmonic on
the 12th fret, and compare the pitch of the two
notes. I think a tuner would make it easy for a
sighted person. If the harmonic is flat, then
get a little screw driver and turn the screw
clockwise, and the oppersit way if it’s
sharp. But you won’t need to turn it much, maybe an 8th of a turn or less.
How ever having said that, if you have never
been shown how to do this, may be best to get
some sighted assistance first from someone who’d done this before.
There may be lots of reasons why the intonation
is out, yes the harmonics will help, and are
very much a part of the set up. but it could be
something to do with a nec adjustment swell. I
don’t play around with that at all.

I'm not sure how I'd play with the harmonics
though. I'm a fairly beginner guitarest. I
mean, as you all've heard in some of my
recordings I've sent the list, I can get by, but that's about it.

Hey Chris. it can make some difference, and it
will probably help a bit, But as you have
multiple notes going on, it’s not going to
fix the problem really well. Have you tried
playing around with the harmonics on the
guitar itself. That may get you out of trouble
until you can get it looked at properly. I
think you said it’s an electric guitar is that right.
I’ve set the internasion on guitars before
when in trouble, and i’ve got the job done.

I have a lead guitar part I need to record on
a song I'm tracking. We have a little problem though.
For some reason, my 3rd G string and also on
some occasions my 2nd B string keeps going
out of tune. It's not a matter of retune it
though. If I do, then certain chords, like
E, or G sound fine, or A, even, but if I play
a D chord, then, ewwww! Gross! the G string,
and the B string are totally flat. More so
my G string. No, these are not wound strings.
Anyway, my suspicion is that I probably have
an intonation problem going on here. I plan
to take the guitar into a shop and have 'em
look at it, but in the mingtime, my question
is, if I was to pop auto-tune on that guitar
track, would that make it sound worse, or
could I effectively use that and maybe get
the thing more in tune? I mean, I know it
theoretically would work, but do you think it
would sound unnatural, or is it hard to say?
Is there maybe a better way until I can get
this thing looked at that I maybe could tackle this?
Chris.
