12. r the fretted note is sharper or flatter in pitch than the open note Note This process should always be performed with new strings Intonation problems are often the result of worn strings It is often difficult for the untrained ear to determine when the open note and the fretted note are at precisely the same pitch Some players find that comparing the 12th fret harmonic of the string rather than the open note to the fretted note is much easier A harmonic is played by plucking the string with the right hand while touching the string with the left index finger as lightly as possible directly above the 12th fret The left index finger is drawn away as quickly as possible after the string is plucked producing a chime effect This chimed note is then compared to the fretted note 1 Tune the instrument to standard A 440 pitch 2 Hold the instrument in a normal playing position or place it on a clean flat surface so that only the body is in contact with the work surface Any pressure on the neck will affect intonation settings 3 Play the first G string open and compare it to the pitch of the same string when it is played at the twelfth fret These notes should sound the same actually there is an octave difference 4 Using a phillips head screwdriver adjust the string saddle so that both the fretted and open notes are the same If the fretted note is sharper than the open note the vibrating length of the stri
