Guitar Setup (PRO)
- Fret intonation map: play every fret and see out-of-tune and dead notes fret by fret, with the likely cause: saddle intonation, a lifted fret or a high nut
- Bridge and saddles: play the 12th fret and see how far and which way to move each saddle, plus saddle height suggestions from your string height
