Hello, this is my first foray into classical guitar so please bear with me. I know a couple of pieces that I play on steel string and while trying them out on my new cordoba c9 the intonation is unbearable. The first piece I was playing has a chord that utilizes several notes on the 10th and 12th frets with an open b and it sounded incredibly bad. It's a new guitar so I'm thinking of sending it back, but before I do, what is acceptable intonation on a classical guitar of this price point? The G string is pretty bad, which from what I understand is pretty normal and can be solved by compensating the saddle. However, the A is pretty awful as well and it's significantly flat (5-6 cents?) on the higher frets. I don't really want to change the strings unless I have to as there's a possibility I'm going to send it back. That being said, could strings really make it that bad?
