Wow, I had no thought you had to turn the screwdriver so much. I’ve been turning mine about 1/8th turn each time and wondering why it’s not working.

you need to have new strings set up when you are setting the intonation

hey here’s an thought how about you mention that when you turn the screw on the bridge saddle the harmonic goes out of tune so then you have to tune the string again. in most cases this is a vicious cycle where you tune your string then tune the screw and tune the string and tune the screw until the saddle screw comes out. no guide seems to mention this.

thank you. i never bothered about the screws and took notice about this thing with the octave to be fine.

does the level of the saddle affect the intonation?
