Intonation Problem Schecter C-7 Hellraiser

Sabaism · 02-21-2008, 05:33 PM

Hi!
I´ve bought a C-7 Hellraiser and its a very beautyful guitar.
But i´ve got one problem. I don´t get the right intonation on d string. The tone at 12th fret is alwways to low even if i screw the saddle on the bridge to the front limit.
Whats wrong?

try move it in other direction

Thanks for reply, but when i move it to the other direction the d on 12th fret is nearly C#, thats nearly a halftone to deep.
I don´t understand how there can be such a huge variance.
If i move it to the front limit its nearly the d, but not exact.

maybe there is problem with frets

I have a problem with the B string on my hellraiser - nowhere else to go. One thing is you might be able to completely unscrew the saddle, turn it backwards, and put it back on. That could give you a little more room to adjust.

Are you sure the string isn't fucked as well?

Edroz · 02-22-2008, 04:26 PM

what guage strings are you using? what tuning? and what strings is it occuring on?

Stitch · 02-22-2008, 09:14 PM

Far better question:

Are the strings brand new?

If they aren't then there isn't any point in continuing this discussion until you've put fresh ones on.

Yes i´ve changed the strings three times ;-)
To turn the bridge would only help, if i were at the back limit, but i screw it to the front limit, so i couldn´t get it more to the front.
I use following string gauges in normal B tuning:

008 1st e in e
011 2nd b in b
014 3rd g in g
22 4th d in d
32 5th A in A
46 6th E in E
and a 56 as 7th in B

It only occurs on d string....very weird i think...

So i also talked with a good friend about this problem and he thinks the strings are to thin and the string action is to narrow but i love such deep string actions, so i´ve switched to a 26er d and now it works. In Future i will switch to an hybrid set, what do you thnk about the following gauges on the hellraiser:
009 1st
011 2nd
016 3rd
026 4th
036 5th
046 6th
058 7th

I donßt want to tune down or somethin like this. Are the gauges ok for the hellraiser?

Thanks alot for the replys till now, i´am very glad that you all try to help!
