Okay, i tried searching for this, but i couldn't find anything so i decided to make a post..

Anyways, how exactly do i adjust the innotation on my fender strat?
I've read some things about it by searching google but when adjust the saddle, after i re-tune the open note, when i play the 12th fret it's still as sharp or flat as it was before. I've tried turning the screw both ways, but nothing seems to make a difference, if anything it just gets worse.

Am i doing something wrong?

Should i just go to a proffesional to have this done?

Thanks. :)

I VERY highly recommend the book "How to make your electic guitar play great!" by Dan Erlewine. This is an excellent book for someone who wants to learn the ins and outs of the guitar and setups in a truly understandable and down to earth way.

It's well known and the best of its kind. Dan Erlewine is a reknowned repairman with super credentials.
