Re: Do You Remove the Back Plate of a Strat?
Strat Master, intonating is a snap. Just put on the new springs, and adjust your tension wherever you want it. ( if you want it flush, that's cool ). Tune the Guitar to concert pitch ( A-440, Standard Tuning ). Now here's an easy and quick way to intonate it > Play each string open ( or the 12th fret harmonic, whichever you prefer ), then play the same string fretted at the 12th fret. If that note is flat, move the bridge saddle forward, towards the headstock, until it registers dead center ( or as close as possible ) . If it is sharp, move the saddle BACK, towards the butt of the Guitar, until it reads dead center. Do this for each individual string. ( the saddle adjustments are made by turning the little screws on the back of each saddle ). Make small adjustments, then re-check. Also, When intonating, have your switch set to the Bridge position. All you'll need is a tuner, cord, and screwdriver.
