Action on my CA Cargo
I hope this isn't a stupid question. If I lower the action on my Cargo guitar, how will that affect the intonation? If it does change the intonation how do you correct intonation on an acoustic guitar?

Just go slow, be very careful of the piezo (foil coated element) when sliding out the saddle. The piezo on that guitar seems very very delicate. What works best is to loosen all the strings one or two coils at the machines and then pull the saddle out by grasping the middle. There is no piezo damage then. If it's too tight as mine was from the factory, then the first time is difficult but you can immediately fix the fit by sanding the sides a little. If you manage to change the intonation, the only fix for that type of guitar I know of would probably be to use the spare 5 buck saddle I suggested you get, and try it again. The 'taylor-like' black saddle has no other intonation correction than the standard B-string offset. |

Holy cow! You just explained a lot of my weird behavior since fixing that saddle! Definitely a good idea.
Thanks, Ken. |
