330/12 Intonation problem

Just saw the new posts. I've finally found a happy compromise. The G is the biggest offender so I tune it so when fingering at the 2nd fret it's in tune the way I like it. I've also stopped using the electronic tuner for all the strings. I get a much better result by getting the low E correct and tuning by ear the rest of the way.

I think if you use a wound unison G string and have the nut looked at, you can get much closer in tuning without having to compromise.

I agree about the nut. Filing it down was how they fixed the problems in the E and A strings but I think they overlooked D and G. I'll try the wound G too.

One more thing, I don't have the greatest confidence in the tech where I bought the guitar and had it adjusted the first time. I live in the MD/DC area and I need to find a new one.
