I do have one final question. Can an old set of strings leave me with one string that just won't intonate? I have all of the other strings nearly perfect, but I can't get the intonation to change on the G string. I even tightened the saddle twice as far back as the rest of them, and it did not change at all.

Could it just be that the strings are old? I've probably had the guitar for 6 or 8 months. I've heard everywhere from 2 weeks, to 3 months as a recommended string change interval.

BTW, the intonation on the Low E string was WAY off. The rest were just slightly off. I also raised the saddle on the G string, and there's no more buzzing.

Thanks again for all of the help. Without it, I would have probably ended up paying a Luthier.
