Learning how to intonate your guitar is not only easy, but I think it's a pretty important thing to know. It'll save you time & money (no more professional guitar setups except for the truly difficult things!), and get you more intimately familiar with your instrument.
While setting intonation seems like a complicated task it's actually not! This 5 minute video will show you how to do it on a Yamaha Pacifica PAC112V in an easy step-by-step manner. But no matter what kind of electric guitar you have the process is essentially the same.

Thank you for the guide.
You're welcome!
So easy, so helpful as the most of your vids...good job mate!
Thank you! Happy it helped 🤘🎸
Thanks man
You're welcome!
Great video! What tuner did you use for this if you don't mind me asking?
Thanks! It's a Boss TU-15 I've had forever and a day.
I just attempted to do this for the first time, although I have no idea if it needs a truss rod adjustment, because L & M insisted I take it home and try it out before getting the free set-up, although I'm brand new at guitars. Anyway, it looks easy (your video is very easy to follow) but was not going well, and then I realized that my new 440 Technologies tuner was naming five different notes (on one string) as B, so I guess I will exchange the tuner? Or insist they do the set up so I can learn the notes while they are all in tune.
Wow, well kudos to you for giving it a try before learning to play! I honestly didn't learn how to do setups for probably a decade after I started playing, if not longer 🤣
You can try using an app tuner. Boss has one. Not perfect, but it'll do the job.
Most likely if it's a new guitar you won't need a truss rod adjustment, but hard to say for sure. If you're getting buzzing or dead notes it could be the neck or high frets. In any case, not a bad idea to get the free setup so you know the guitar is good to go.
Nice tutorial!
Can I use an app tuner?
Thank you! You should be okay with an app tuner 🤘
looks like you could go another turn...in your experience do you ever find a guitar that you simply cannot get the saddle to move far enough..I'm having this issue...I've tried flipping the saddle 180deg but still no luck...I'm guessing the fretting is just off a little, is that a real possibility? my son got it from a buddy and it's a very cheap...sorta a vox custom 24 knockoff(but bolt on) and litterally no branding anywhere...wood looks nice though.
Yeah I have had the issue where I couldn't get a guitar accurately intonated because the saddle wouldn't move far enough. It is what it is, these things are never perfect. It's not the biggest issue unless you're recording or playing in a band. The most difficult to intonate are the wraparound style SG bridges that don't have individual saddles or the 3 saddle tele style.
How far do you move The saddle on the 3rd string 18 wound closer to the pick up are back the other way to do that process
There's no set answer. Depends on your guitar and your strings
Can you use a headstock tuner also, Will it do the job?
Technically, yes. With most headstock tuners it's more difficult to see the accuracy by cents, but it'll still be better than not intonating at all.
Thanks , seems to work ok, with just a headstock tuner, like the cat shirt@@ArtOfShredYT
