My turn to post a thread about a guitar that won't intonate properly.
My red KV4 is frustrating the hell out of me. I just finished re-wiring it, and I'm almost finished doing a set-up on it. Everything is perfect, except after doing my high E, B and G strings, I get to my D string, and although the saddle is right about where it should be, the fretted note is WAY flat. So I unlock the saddle and move it forward. Still no luck. I move it twice more, until it is as far forward as it will go, and the fretted note is still flat as hell. It doesn't make sense. With the saddle that far forward, the fretted note should be very sharp. I skipped it, and did the low E, and the A string. No problem at all. The saddles end up right where I expected them to be. I'm stumped. Could a bad string cause this? It doesn't seem likely, but I can't think of any other reason for it.
