    A well produced and informative video. I have watched many instructional videos on intonation and guitar action which have helped me lower my action and improve playability, but this is the best I have seen to date and the additional detail i.e. measurement at the bridge and adjustment of the saddle using your Excel calculation is so useful Thank you Mark.

    You just have to try it and experiment with it, I have an Ibanez with a Floyd rose and I was too scared to set the guitar up but it needed it badly and I didn't have money for it at the time, so I just took a chance and gave it a try, it took me a while but I learned a lot from it and I can set almost any guitar up now :)

    Nice video on adjusting the string action. I had a guitar with a decent nut, but no relief and a high saddle. I thought my string action was good but I was fooling myself because without the relief it had me fighting with the strings and making my playing harder instead of more fluid. After adding slight relief and removing just a touch of material from the saddle, I was able to correct the issue and now enjoy playing my dreadnought acoustic more than ever. Your video was a great help and very instructive.Thank you

    Hi and thanks for this - I usually work on electrics, but I've been reconditioning a slightly beaten up acoustic for a child's Christmas present (his parents can't afford a new acoustic, and I had a couple hanging around) This was really helpful, especially the spreadsheet. Excellent explanation and clear steps. An old Encore has now got better action than my own Godin.

    You just need to remove two times the amount of material on the saddle with however much you want to reduce the action at the 12th fret (e.g. you want to lower the action at the 12th by 2/64, then shave off 4/64 at the saddle)
