RGA 121 Intonation


My RGS is Perfectly in tune, including intonation. My only concern is that 3 of the saddles are at their most extreme setting. There is no latitude left to 'increase' the scale length. I am running Dadarrio 9's and the rest of the set up is fine with minimal neck releif.

Any comments/ideas?

Re: RGA 121 Intonation


My RGA 121 has the same problem!

I say "problem" because the low E and G saddles are in their most extreme position without reaching correct intonation. This is hell!

I play a very common blue steel 9-46 strings set. Action and neck relief are fine.

Please help!

RGA 121 Intonation


I found by myself.

I put off all the strings, removed the tailpiece and saw thaht the spring under the saddle was blocking its travel.

I removed the springs under low e and g saddles and set up intonation.

Truc de ouf'!
