I was wondering if there is a special way to intonate the G and B strings (a bit flat or sharp) for them not to "wave" when fretting a C chord? I always seem to need to fine tune those strings to have a perfect chord on the first 5 frets.

Re: Intonation help...
Check the intonation of the fretted notes at the first fret. Gradually deepen the slot depth until the notes are in tune. -

Re: Intonation help...
If I'm not mistaken, a lot of the Peterson tuners have a "sweetened" tuning that helps compensate for this.Gear: More junk than I know what to do withComment

Re: Intonation help...
out of curiosity how do you currently intonate and setup your instrument?
because the way I set and intonate mine every single string at every fret is perfectly in tune (assuming the guitar is in proper tuning obviously during playing there might be some minor tuning issues if strings haven't broken in)Comment

get a wound G string.
on a 25.5" scale that fixes it like a charm.
Bit more work if you like doing crazy bends, but for chording, the wound G is fantastic.Comment
