Heheh, well, I've been doing a certain thing for almost that long, and I'm as good as it gets. That thing is not repairing or working on the intonation of guitars

I did that for the first two decades as well. Later, I wanted objective data that my ears couldn't provide, so I bought a strobe tuner. For me, it makes things easier and more consistent.

https://reverb.com/item/5654734-pete...n-strobe-tuner I'd like to assume that it's stated 1/10 cent accuracy applies to being able to to actually read the amount of tenths of cents , but I'd rather ask to make sure.

The stroboclip you linked will work for what you need. For your purposes, you don't need one that is accurate to 1/10 cent: +/- 1 cent is adequate. You need something beyond a red light indicating its out of tune and a green light indicating its in tune. Calibration in cents provides objective data that can be discussed. |

Got it sorted ! reads in cents or pitch, has mic for acoustic instruments (good idea !) : https://reverb.com/item/7539352-boss...with-metronome

Dredging this up because I'm at the end of my patience with the guitar. Today I thought about asking if anyone wants to do the mods for me, so here I am sort of asking that (?). I did do the tuning measurements and probably wouldn't have much trouble doing the work myself , but ….. lots of things are more important . I'll probably do the measurements again .
OH!!!, does it matter if the strings are old , for the measuring ? Like, a year ?

That far up the neck compared to first position chords the string gauges can make a pretty big
difference (due to inharmonicity). You might play with string gauges to see what happens.

I read the first and last pages of this thread just now. Perhaps I have posted before, I didn’t look deeper. I think ballpark intonation on a guitar is simpler than my reading suggests.
There must be very close to NO relief in the neck, certainly not more than .010”, half that is better. The nut MUST be as low as possible. Holding the string down against the third fret should yield a printer paper’s thickness gap between the string and the first fret. More than twice that is a complete non-starter. With light gauge strings and an action measured at the 12th fret of 2/32” at the e and 3/32” at the E and the other string heights fully interpolated, then: Assuming the .102” thick saddle top is a perfect bullnose shape (fulcrum in the center): On the e string the distance from the 12th fret to the leading edge of the saddle should be exactly the same as the distance from the 12th fret to the nut. The distance from the 12th fret to the leading edge of the saddle on the E string should be 5/32” greater than the e string. The above will yield pro results but can be improved upon by cutting further compensation into the saddle’s top surface. The e goes back 1/3 the saddle thickness, the b goes back 2/3 the saddle thickness, the g goes all the way to the front, the E goes as far back as possible (3/4 saddle thickness or the saddle edge crumbles) and the a and d go on a straight line between the E and the g. If the specifications of a guitar are any different than the ones I quoted, results will be “other”. These specs work for me on short or long scale, and MultiScale in the same range. |

Meaning what, exactly ? I do live in a low population density realm ...
