Thanks Jeff

I was using tuners to guide me as well as trying my ear

How I was able to match adjacent strings to a note and using my ear to hear if they were of the same pitch. [br]I'm not experienced enough to know if it's an intonation issue. Would that be possible on just one string.

A string set from a manufacturer will definitely be chosen to match up. [br]Setting E and A to a G and they sound alike but when back to their respective notes the notes on G don't sound the same notes as matching notes on the A but indicate the same on a tuner.

Same notes on A and D match up and so on up the strings.

Google throws up some users with a similar issue with the usual contrary fixes. Go heavier with E string , go lighter with E string. File the nut etc etc.

I have new strings now and it's not a life or death issue. Just a bug

thanks

Dave.
