I'm stumped.
I have a Schecter 6-string Diamond...w/ the FloydRose bridge. I've set the intonation correctly using a very sensitive tuner, and have repeatedly and laboriously set the tuning on all 6 (new) strings. But when if I play E open, and D 2 frets up, the notes are so off, it makes me cringe. A chord sounds terrible. I have no idea what could cause this besides the frets being in the wrong spot. Since the guitar was a little on the cheap side, makes me wonder if Schecter did this on purpose for their cheaper models? Who gets the fret positions wrong?! The fretboard has nice action and the neck is nice and perfectly straight. The guitar hasn't been played much. I'm not asking "how do you tune a guitar", since I think I already know that. I'm more asking "what could cause a guitar to refuse to tune BESIDES the intonation being wrong and the neck being non-straight? Could they have gotten the bottom "nut" (lowest fret) wrong, somehow? Too far from the 1st fret? Anybody ever see this?
