Re: Adjusting action and intonation


I don't believe it would mess with the intonation any. The proper intonation is achieved by the length between the saddle and nut, so raising the action doesn't do a thing. Just raise the two studs little by little until it is where you want it. Higher action is never a problem, it's lowering that is.

Re: Adjusting action and intonation


Depends how steep the neck angle is, and how much you raise the action. I'd test it with a tuner when you're done, to make sure it hasn't gone out.

Re: Adjusting action and intonation


Intonation means when the notes at the 12th [or last fret for me] are in tune with the open strings. The higher the action the more you sharpen the note fretting the 12th [or last].
