Hoping someone can help me out with this problem.
I had a shop replace the neck on my 84 Kramer Pacer Imperial with a NOS neck I found on eBay. This has the orig Floyd Rose and new R2 nut.
I'm having big intonation problems on my A string. Other strings are okay.
When I first got it back from the refit, I noticed it was really sharp around the 10th fret. I moved the saddle back as far as it would go and although it improved, it remains noticeably sharp. It's sharp mainly above the fifth fret. Bar chords are brutal. Lower frets and open chords seem to be fine for tuning.
I'm wondering if it could be the frets are too high because I've moved back the saddle as far as it can go. I'm wondering whether the height of the frets would cause me to push the string down so far as to push it out of tune.
The shop did a fret dress as it was binding a bit with the NOS frets.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated...
