Intonation of a classical guitar.

Seedawakener · 01-20-2007, 07:06 PM

The B string on my acoustic clssical guitar is very off when it comes to intonation. Only that string. Is there anyway of adjusting it on an acoustic? Cause I cant think of a way.

You can make slight changes by shaping the bridge piece with a file. It's pretty limited but it can help. The G string is always the worst on my nylon string guitars.

Ok thanks. Ill just take it to a pro, cause I dont want to ruin it.

I found that changing the brand of strings helped mine. That may not make sense but certainly seems to be the case. I now use D' Addario EXP strings and am very happy with them.

On a side note, my wife gave me a Yamaha silent classical guitar for Christmas which is very, very cool. I travel a lot for business and it's going to be a much appreciated traveling companion. I wouldn't fly with any of my regular acoustic instruments. I'm surprised how nice it sounds and plays.

Good idea. before taking it to a guitar tech, Ill just buy a new set of strings and see if there is a difference.
