Telecaster American standard

Hi!
I have a strange problem with the tuning of my guitar.
I noticed when playing with the band my guitar sounded out of tune.
I spoke with a guy ,who said that the frets were quite worn out and
he polished the frets even and it sounded quite good espcially after
resetting the intonation.
The problem is that when I played yesterday with our band the guitar
sounded out of tune with my Peavey 30 classic through the pedal board
as well as directly connected to Peavey. We tried two other guitars and
they sounded to be in tune.
I rechecked the intonation of my tele and it was ok, but the 2nd and 3rd
frets D and G strings. I reset the intonation again and it sounded guite good
through my Tech21.
Is it possible that the Peavey distorts the intonation for some reason?
I haven't tried the Peavey today, because it is in our reheasal place.

Pls comment...

By resetting intonation, do you mean tuning the guitar? Although intonation does get set, it's normally not required more often than once unless you change string gauge.

Actual tuning with the pegs on the headstock happens frequently. I like to check tuning before I begin to play, then again after the guitar warms to my body heat. (Yeah it does.) If you don't own a tuner, get one and start using it. You owe it to your band. :D

Hey Peter,
I warm my neck up with a few licks, before I tune it, and at the end of the sets. You can see that here, we used that as the tip of the week when I dropped by to meet Andy Gurley at East Nashville School of Music.

I get better results doing this, and you might too. There's also a couple of other things that could be happening too. It can make a difference if you're playing with a steel player, and as Razbo said it would be best to have an electronic tuner. Another thing could be that it's not you that's out of tune.

If you're sure the intonation is set correctly, and that it's not a fretting problem. You said that a guy repolished the frets, but did he redress them, and recrown them. Your intonation can also vary depending on the bridge, and I would definitely use an electronic tuner to set it. You also want to set your toggle switch to the neck pickup for the best results.

I really don't think it would be the amp, so check out some of this other stuff, and let us know how it turns out.

Hi!

I spoke with Juha Ruokangas of Ruokagas Guitars and he said right away
that the problem that the guitar is out of tune between frets 2-5
especially g and b strings is due to two reasons either the nut saddle is
too high or the nut is situated in wrong place.
I sent my tele to his shop and he changed the nut saddle and did the whole
setup and now my tele is working fine.
