<p>Note to self measure 3 times. most my build have floating bridges but not all now i'll think twice thanks Bluesheart.</p>

<p>Hi, changing the break angle at the bridge and/or nut would have an effect on how the strings feel, soft or tight, and may tie in with what I mentioned on this thread earlier. The fact that finger pressure on strings when setting intonation can effect good intonation. Soft strings and soft/light tension may allow the string move more under finger pressure. Giving a false note against the harmonic.</p>

<p>Before you move the resonator back check the break angle of the strings and adjust if necessary. I ran into this problem and moved the res back. Still had an issue. I ended using the neck on a different git and had the same problem. I finally discovered the break angle was all wrong eventually after slowing down and taking a closer look. Even if it isn't wrong, the angle of the strings can influence better intonation. </p>

<p>Fingerboard is glued on and fretted, fret spacing etc are fine. I'm going to go with the simplest solution, make a new biscuit with the slot cut off center. </p>

<p>That is actually a really good idea and one I had not thought of. I could add 1/4" to the length of the through neck . I'm not sure if I would like it visually as I have the fretboard meeting up with the body right where I want it now but thanks for the food for thought! I think this is similar idea that another poster suggested, but they were talking, pre build. I had not thought of it as a retrofit.</p>

One can get a flat note, and I find it when I am setting customers guitars up. If you press on the string pushing it to the fingerboard, behind the fret,and set the intonation to that note, you can get a lower note if the string is pushed more softly and maybe stops at the fret, so not being stretched as far.<br />
<br />
This is often experienced when setting intonation for other players, they all have different playing styles so setting spot on intonation can be tricky.<br />

<br />
I have tested this by fretting a string whilst watching the tuner and rolling my finger behind the fret,I can make the note go flat and sharp, if I set it with a firm pressure on the string to start with.<br />

So l have developed a method to over come this.<br />

<p>Fretting a string can only sharpen a note, never flatten it, as you are deflecting the string from a straight path thus increasing the tension in the string..that's why when setting a bridge it will always be further away from the nut than the theoretical scale length.</p>
