well this one crept up on me when i tried to apply some of this knowledge to my other guitar, an ibanez js100 with almost perfect intonation. almost. well the fretted note at the twelfth fret was just a tiny bit too high than the harmonic so i started moving saddles back. then i noticed that when i tried to tune, using the 5th and 6th strings for example, the open E was in tune and the note at the fifth fret was sharp, also the seventh fret on the A string was not in tune with the E string. so i started to suspect that there was too much distance between the open and fifth fret so i loosened the truss rod. it did not help and appeared to make things worse. bad enough that i can't figure out how to put it back to the way it was, i went and trashed an almost perfect setup. a part of me wonders if the truss rod tightens counterclockwise on this guitar, could that be, it doesn't make sense. so once again i ask for some help fixing it. how do you fix the differences in tuning when the fifth fret tuning does not match the inverse seventh fret? A and A at 5th fret vs. E and E at seventh fret. i feel so dumb and i really want to play.
