Bottom E Strings Always Sound Flat
On my 330-12, I have noticed lately that the bottom E strings always sound flat on every fret, even when the strings are perfectly in tune. Could this be an easy intonation adjustment or something more serious?
Re: Bottom E Strings Always Sound Flat
Since they both sit on the same saddle, perhaps your intonation is off. You should really use new strings(at least the low E pair)in setting it. One option, anyway.

Mike...The strings are brand new. I had the guitar set up two months ago. I think I need to take it back to my tech. The neck is a little warped anyway, probably due to the change of seasons.whojamfan wrote:Since they both sit on the same saddle, perhaps your intonation is off.

Roger McGuinn addresses this problem in his 12-sting guitar instructional video. He offers a possible solution that might resolve the issue.

I ordered a 12 saddle bridge from Pick O Ricks. According to my tech, that should solve the problem. Thanks for your advice.
