I like the way you explain stuff the simple way Mike...thanks Mike.

[@ravenwood7777]

Wow thanks would not have thought about that!!!

[@JohnSScott2]

What a helpful tip! And explained easily and well. Thanks!

[@edgelite]

I have a little acronym I use to remember which way to move the bridge. I call it the three Fs rule. If the Fretted note is Flat move the bridge Forward. And Forward means towards the neck. I hope that helps 😊

Great video. Made it very simple to understand and follow. Thanks!

[@webingerphoto49]

Mike...thank you for this informative intonation video. Helps a lot!

[@JD-iu3vi]

I always check the first 3 to 4 frets. If it is sharp the nut may need to be filed down at the corresponding string.

Mike I love your videos in your guitars. I’ve been making them for about 2 1/2 years now I’ve done five hard bodies in about 15 cigar boxes. Do you ever use an adjustable metal bridge

Hey Mike! Why shouldn't the tuning be perfect on a cbg? Is it because they were not made in a factory and therefore not possible to intonate perfectly? Love the channel.

[@ElyRiverBlues]

Just a comment - due to the string height at the 12th, pressing the string down to the fret makes it sharp. If playing fretted, I guess this works OK, but with a slide the note may not be sharp at the 12th so it's worth checking this.

[@adamfields5718]

What’s the measurement from fretboard to strings on your guitars at the 12th fret?

[@johnaustin1825]

Shouldn't it be 25.5"?

[@thurgogopro5338]

Hi Mike
Are the strings tuned G4 D4 G4 or is the thick G tuned lower
Bob

[@JD-iu3vi]

The high G is an octave higher than the low G. If the low G is tuned G3 then the other G will be tuned G4 as an example. The D will be a D3 in this example.
