I bought the Ibanez intonation tool. I only needed to intonate the B string cause it was 2 hairs sharp. I had no idea how to do it but figured it out eventually, at least I think I did cause I managed to get the open string and the 12th fret to be exactly on the B.
I didn't know you had to lock that saddle screw after moving the saddle before you can compare, this is a pain in the butt with a double locking
You're supposed to have the locking nut locked, then loosen the saddle screw, adjust the saddle, tighten the saddle screw, unlock the locking nut and tune to pitch and compare
if is not quite there, you have to repeat this process again and again until it gets there. I knew I had to move the saddle towards the bridge, but I had to move it a lot more than I thought, just to get rid of those 2 hairs. I thought all it would take was a quick little turn
Now is perfect and all strings are intonated but now I'm dreading having to do this again lol and in all 6 strings ayyy
