Adjusting the Compensation

This procedure must be performed so that all the notes and their octaves

sound reasonably in unison, independent from their position on the

fretboard. A guitar that is not well compensated can be especially

unpleasant when playing chords that mix notes fingered in high frets with

open strings.

You should do this...

When your new strings are a different gauge, or you plan to use an



alternate tuning permanently.

When the bridge has been moved, usually as a consequence of



removing all the strings (which I don't recommend).

When the height of the bridge has been modified substantially.



However...

Don't do this every time that you change the strings, it's not



necessary.

Don't do this if you find that your worn strings don't intonate well.



Instead, change them and check if the new ones are OK.

Necessary tools: Electronic tuner or a good ear.

Method:

Start with new strings, already tuned in the guitar for at least a few



hours.

Check if the natural harmonic for the second string in fret 12 is the



same as the fingered note in that same fret. If the tuner (or your

ear) finds that the fingered note is higher than the harmonic, the
