I have a fender stratocaster and I have a good tuner I just replaced the strings. Fuel brand extra light. I can get the intonation correct on the 3 high strings. GB&E But still sharp on the lower strings EA&D. The screw is all the way clockwise as is the adjustment I was told. It is close and sounds ok But if it was to be corrected is it in the neck adjustment. I do not want to start cranking on the allen with out knowing what I am doing. Regards

Regards This may help - not necessarily the neck relief that needs adjusting there are other causes of poor intonation www.fretnotguitarrepair.com/Electric_Guitar_Intonation.htm |

That's a great link Jack. After reading it several times I found the tremolo bar under the back guard looked like it was on too much angle. After I made it slightly straighter and re tuned. It came in perfect might have been a Monday at the factory. Now it is in tune at every fret not just the open and the 12th. Regards
