Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | Okay... Correct me if I am wrong.
With correct intonation, I should be able to get a correctly tuned note on the open sting and 12th fret.
To get this, I can adjust the saddle of the guitar.
On a Viper, and/or my other electric guitars.
I have done a OFC search, and a few Google searches, and I cannot find instructions/directions on how to do this correctly.
Can anyone give me the quick Dummies' lesson on how to do this correctly?
Or direct me to a site that will do so?

| If the harmonic is sharp to the fretted note then adjust the saddle towards the tail piece. Vice-versa if the harmonic is flat. |

If it's sharp the distance between the saddle and the 12th is too short so you have to lengthen it by adjusting the saddle towards the tailpiece. And vice versa.
Use a tuner not your ear!!
The other thing to remember is be conscious of how hard you fret the string because that will change the pitch.
You need to adjust the intonation using your playing fret tension.

make sure the action is adjusted within tolerance. If it's too high you will also get intonation problems... |
