Post Problems intonating Tribute Legacy
Hi fellow G&L guitarist,

I'm having problems intonating the E D and G string on my Tribute Legacy. Adjusting the intonation screws doesn't seem to change the intonation at all. Currently for those strings, the intonation is about 3-4 cents sharp but the screws are almost as far in as they'll go. Here's a link to images of the current bridge setup, http://imgur.com/a/27qi6.

The relief of the neck is currently 1/64" at the 8th fret, low and treble E action is at 4/64" with 12 radius and all the pickups are setup to have 6/64" from the pole of the P/U to the bottom of the low E and 4/64" for the treble E(while fretting 22nd fret).

Any advice :confused0007:

I'd cut the springs on the intonation screws (for the E and g).
Your tuner should be able to see the change. (does it have a fine setting?)

That's gotta make a difference.

You might try using the current factory setup as defined in this post: Current Factory setup for G&L guitars with vibrato bridges as a starting point. Then set the intonation on each string.

Hope this helps.
