Kemper tuner for intonation

    Quote from kamin21

    (neck 10x faster is a awesome tip btw) .....
    I am still thinking about a shim, because it would make sense to me. If the strings are higher than normal I would have to press much more down, which is also sharpens the tone.

    You don't need to shim, Shim is to correct the action either way because the guitar doesn't or can't have the desired action (distance between fret and open string). Intonation has to do with the saddle/ bridge and sometimes the nut as far as I know.

    A shim extends your scale length by pushing your headstock (hole neck of course) back a little bit. It creates are neck - body angle which is common on Les Pauls.
    The shim must be on the bridge-side of the neck heel.
    But it does not help you if the frets are the issue. My saddles are all the way back and I got still between +4 and +8 for the fretted 12. fret-tone.
    The frets are out of stainless steel, 3 years old and look like new.


    Dom,


    I have done intonation setups using this new tuner (and you MUST retune every change you make). So yes, IMO it can be used to setup guitar intonation.

    If you use FRFR the benefit of a merged profile is that the cabinet is totally separated in the profile.

    I fixed it today. Took me many hours to redrill holes and modify saddles and reinstall bridge.
    It looks like my guitar luthier did not install it properly. Thanks to Schaller who sent me some bridge replacement parts.
    Very kind!


    Thx for your help!


    Now it so much fun to play!
