Members Floyd Rosenbomb Posted December 19, 2013 Members Share Posted December 19, 2013 Perhaps the intonation is off at the 12th fret. This can often be over looked, but it has an enormous impact on the guitars ability to sound "toneful." If the intonation is off there are frequencies of sound that are clashing when they should be jiving, which if they are clashing even a bit the guitar will sound bad no matter what you do.So, I'd check the intonation first and make sure it is perfect at the 12th harmonic and fret.

Members badpenguin Posted December 20, 2013 Members Share Posted December 20, 2013 Then, after setting the intonation, adjust the height of the pickups. Amazing what a few turns of a screw can accomplish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
