Hello, I am trying to correct the buzzing and intonation of my electric guitar, and I can't get the intonation right on the lowest string.
First, I raised the bridge to be about as high as the other ones, and this fixed the buzzing issue I was having. However, when I fret the 12th fret, the octave is way off. I have tried moving the bridge closer and farther away from the nut, but either way the intonation appears to stay the same. See attached:
I also raised the bridge on the second string and am having a similar problem, though less severe. It's also not staying in tune, though I don't know whether altering one bridge the way I am affects the other strings.
Thanks, any help would be appreciated. If there's a thread dealing with this specific issue, and I missed it, a link would be appreciated too. Thanks.
