Intonation Help

Hey, I need some help with the intonation on my 7620. I popped on some new strings, 9's with a 56 B, But my intonation is all kinds of wacky in the higher register. Everything is sharp, so from my understanding, I would move the trem saddle away from the nut. So, what is the best way to move it? Block the trem, then loosen the string and move it over a bit from the little allan screw thing and move the saddle back, tune up that string and test it out? Then repeat untill that string is intonated and do this for every string?

Thanks

You don't need to block the trem. Just loosen the string enough to pull it out of the way loosen the saddle, pull it back a little, tighten it again, tune up and see if it's right. If not, repeat

TMatt142 is a jewel in the rough
Instead of unwinding the string a crapload of times....loosen the string up, then dive the trem down until the bar almost touches. Clamp or find some way to hold the trem like that and adjust. I've done it just palming the bar but it's pretty touch and go.....Then go order a lo-pro intonation tool!
