I've got a few high end guitars and I've been playing for a long time but short of changing strings I havent a clue how to do a basic setup - I've always gone the lazy route and had a guitar tech to do it for me but thats not an option anymore. So its time to learn how to do it properly.
How do I fix the intonation? It kills me everytime... so I slap on a new set of strings, tune her up, get the action right and spring tension at the back of the trem. Everything sound good tuned up off the 5th and 7 fret harmonics but things start going out of tune past the 12th frets. Whats the procedure re adjusting the truss rod and those sliding string saddles on top of the trem? My guitars are mostly Ibanez models with the Lo-Pro style trem system...
Any basic step by step help on how to do it right would be cool.
Thanks
